Playoff basketball isn't about who scores, stats or putting numbers up on the board. It's just about winning at the end of the day. When you play a game in a series, it becomes chess. It becomes who can outsmart the other team.
Quote by -Lou Williams
You don't want a team going around the league just thinking they can beat you by 30, 40 points every time that you play them.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I watched myself get drafted by myself. I walked out of my own draft party because I was a little frustrated.
Quote by -Lou Williams
It's not an easy thing to be in this league 10 years. Especially with me being a second-round pick, the 46th pick, and an undersized guard, to carve a lane for myself and have a career, for my family to realize that and appreciate that, it meant a lot to me.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I think my assist numbers dropped off in Toronto with the way we were built. We played a lot of isolation basketball. I know we were in the bottom half in the NBA as far as assists go.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I've always been a guy to try to create contact; create scoring opportunities based off the free throw line and being aggressive in that way.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I had the opportunity to play alongside Allen Iverson and Kevin Ollie at the same time. I kind of had the best of both worlds. I had one guy that was super talented and another guy that came with his lunch pail every day and that was a worker. I want to kind of be a mix of both.
Quote by -Lou Williams
When you're losing that tends to kind of build the character of everybody together.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I was raised in the NBA. I've seen some guys stay and I've seen a lot go. I've watched James Harden be a rival of mine for Sixth Man of the Year to an MVP candidate.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Once you start going out putting expectation levels on yourself, you lose the concept of trying to win the game.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I just challenge the big guys and attack them, and use my quickness to my advantage.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Honestly, I was a troublemaker. The environment I grew up in, my mom and my sister, they decided they were going to sign me up in every single thing to keep me busy. I played football, basketball, baseball. Anything, whatever was in season, I was signed up for it. Basketball was one of the things that just stuck.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I think in Toronto my job was to score just based on the system that we had. We played a lot of iso basketball - a lot of one-on-one basketball.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I'm not going to be the guy that says, 'I'm the new point guard, look at me, look at me, put me on billboards and sell my jersey.' I'm not going to be him. I'm going to do my job.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Obviously, Ray Allen is a huge threat, Eddie House coming off the bench is a huge threat, as far as three-pointers go.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Any time you make a basketball team you have the opportunity to be successful.
Quote by -Lou Williams
It's one of those things I have been able to do - play well with my teammates and getting others involved.
Quote by -Lou Williams
A guy tried to rob me but decided not to because of whatever I do in the community. He's a Lou Williams fan, so he didn't rob me.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I wanted to prove that I could be a starter. And then once I realized I was gonna be a sixth man and it wasn't gonna change, I just relished the role. I just said, 'I'm going to make it really hard on whoever it is that has to guard me these next 10-11 minutes that I'm in here.' And after a while you just create an identity.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I can't shoot straight-up. I've always played crooked. One of my coaches says I play backwards. I do everything backwards. I don't have coordination. It's weird to watch me play.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I thought I was pretty average height. And then it just clicked to me - 'Yo, you're undersized.' I guess when I got older and my body started hurting, I'm like, 'I'm not as big as I thought I was.' So I always played with the mentality that I was bigger than I actually was.
