Lou Williams has been one of the most consistent sixth men in the NBA over the past few years and has been a great depth player for the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are expected to be title contenders once the playoffs roll around and Williams will most likely be a huge part of that. Last night, Williams helped his team put away the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 136-130. It was a hard-fought game for both teams, especially the Clippers who struggled at times. 

Amid those struggles, Williams appeared to get in an argument with Paul George over defensive assignments. As you can see in the clip below, the two players exchanged some words and eventually, the clip made its way to social media. Williams immediately took to Twitter to deescalate the situation.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Lou Williams recently added a new piece of artwork in his Atlanta home, as he continues to remember the life and legacy of Los Angeles Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant.

As seen in the IG video embedded below, the wall-to-wall mural features Kobe in his Lakers jersey, as well as his daughter Gianna in her Mamba Academy uniform. According to TMZ Sports, the incredible piece took 13 hours to paint.

Late last week, Williams paid tribute to the Black Mamba by releasing a new song titled “24,” which he simply describes as “an open letter to the homie.”

Williams briefly played alongside Kobe as a member of the Lakers during the 2015-16 season, and was among those who witnessed firsthand that infamous “Charmin Soft” practice. Despite their limited time as teammates, Kobe clearly meant a lot to Lou. The veteran point guard tweeted the following the day after Kobe’s passing, “Been crying on and off. Have a random thought about things we spoke about then laugh. Cry again. Then I tell myself tighten up, mamba was tough. Wipe my eyes. Cry again RIPKOBE”

Lou Will and the Clippers are currently third in the Western Conference with a record of 37-18. They’ll host the Sacramento Kings in their return to the court after the All Star break.

Lou Williams, a former teammate of the late, great Kobe Bryant, released a new song on Thursday title “24” in remembrance of the Los Angeles Laker legend. The track, which Williams describes as “an open letter to the homie,” will also be featured on his upcoming six-song EP “Syx Piece,” which will be available this Friday, February 14th. 

Check out a snippet of “24” in the IG post embedded below, and click here to listen to it in it’s entirety.

Williams’ tribute song is just one of the ways that NBA players and fans around the world have honored Kobe Bryant in the aftermath of the tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. Others, like Los Angeles Lakers teammates LeBron James and Anthony Davis, as well as The Game, have gone out to get tattoos in honor of the Black Mamba, while street artists across the globe have erected incredible murals of Kobe and his daughter GiGi.

Kendrick Perkins has been one of the biggest hot take artists in sports media since his retirement. Perkins is always coming through with some content for the various shows he makes guest appearances on. Typically, these hot takes upset various players throughout the league. It shouldn't be surprising that this is the case especially since athletes can be pretty sensitive. On Tuesday night, Perkins got himself in trouble, once again, thanks to a tweet he sent about the Los Angeles Clippers.

After losing to the Philadelphia 76ers, Perkins implied that the Clippers only care about playing well against the Lakers. This led to a swift response from Lou Williams who said the Clippers are doing just fine. In fact, Williams accused Perkins of trying to get extra content for one of the shows he typically frequents.

Kobe Bryant's former teammates and coaches, as well as those who played and coached against him, will continue to mourn his loss and honor his life and legacy by sharing some of their fondest memories. There's no limit to how long this grieving process will last, but it certainly helps when those who knew Kobe best recall such classic stories.

On Monday night, Bryant's former Laker teammates Nick Young and Lou Williams discussed some of their most memorable moments with the Black Mamba, including how he once banned his teammates from wearing his sneakers because they simply weren't worthy.

According to Lou Will, "We got blew out in Portland. He took everybody Kobe’s and said they couldn’t wear it cause we was soft."

Lou Williams recently got some high praise courtesy of Brooklyn Nets superstar, Kevin Durant. While talking to fans on Twitter, Durant said Lou Williams was one of the five hardest players to guard in the NBA. Williams has been known for his exceptional scoring off the bench and continues to be praised by his peers. There are very few players with bad things to say about Williams' game which just goes to show how respected he is.

During a recent interview Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points, Williams spoke about Durant's praise and talked about what it means to him. Being complimented by your peers is always nice and Williams understands that better than anyone.

Kevin Durant is one of the best scorers the NBA has ever seen although as of right now, he is being sidelined with an Achilles injury. It remains to be seen when we'll see Durant back on the court but luckily, he is still very much active on social media. Durant's show The Boardroom has amassed quite a bit of popularity as of late and fans have been tuning in every since episodes began to air. Recently, Durant took to The Boardroom's Twitter account where he answered questions submitted to him by fans.

One of the questions was regarding who he thought some of the toughest players to guard in the NBA were. Durant gave five names including LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Lou Williams, Paul George, and even Joel Embiid.

Stephen A. Smith is a man who is connected to numerous voices throughout the NBA. Sometimes, Smith comes to First Take with exclusive scoops on some of the happenings around the league. On Wednesday, that's exactly what Stephen A. did as he revealed that Kawhi Leonard reportedly called LeBron James "soft" in the locker room. After defeating the Lakers on Christmas Day, the Clippers star reportedly told his teammates that LeBron should stop being scared to guard him. Considering Kawhi is such a quiet person, Smith's report was immediately met with some skepticism.

One of Kawhi's teammates, Lou Williams, also has some questions about Smith's report. Yesterday, Williams took to Twitter where he subtly accused Smith of coming through with an inaccurate report. Williams went on to say "I just know I’ve never heard him say anything close to that about anybody. He just compete."

Lou Williams will go down as one of the best six-mans in NBA history. The man is an absolute scoring machine while coming off the bench for the Los Angeles Clippers. With him on the roster, the Clippers are a loaded team that have a phenomenal shot at making it all the way to the NBA Finals. Throughout his career, Williams has won three sixth man of the year awards and continues to impress fans with his abilities as a role player.

Last night, Williams scored 22 points in a win over the Detroit Pistons. According to TMZ, Williams was talking to a reporter after the game where he was asked about his newborn son’s unique name. As it turns out, the child’s name is Syx which, believe it or not, is an homage to his abilities as a sixth man.

“I always said if I had a son I was going to give him a unique name,” Williams explained. “Nothing was coming to me, so I just said, ‘You know what, I’m going to name him Syx, spell it a little different’ and we just had some fun with it.”

His child was born on Tuesday and as Williams explained, he will be playing basketball as soon as humanly possible. Needless to say, basketball is in his blood.
