Hey Robert Williams, what happens when a teammate throws you a bad lob? — “if they throw one out of reach and I say something to ’em about it, they usually say like, ‘It don’t matter, go get that shit.’ So it’s pretty cool. No excuses. I understand.” – 3:33 PM

Robert Williams on his son Hendrix: He’s good, he just eats a lot. He eats a lot. It’s crazy how much he eats. – 1:50 PM

Rob Williams on what happens when his teammates somehow throw lobs too high for him: “Usually if they throw it out of reach and I say something, they usually say, ‘It don’t matter, go get that shit.'” – 1:44 PM

Robert Williams III last night:
✅ 13 PTS
✅ 17 REB
✅ 3 STL
✅ +42 +/-
Williams III is +74 over his last two games. That’s the largest plus-minus over a two-game span for a @Boston Celtics player since the NBA began play-by-play tracking in 1996-97. pic.twitter.com/zhX1OcIkPQ – 9:51 AM

The NBA didn’t begin keeping track of blocked shots until 1973-74 season — four years after Bill Russell retired, thus depriving him of his rightful place in the record books.
Have to hope the league begins recording “scares” soon, so Rob Williams’ legacy is properly measured. – 8:36 PM

If Robert Williams could transform into any animal, it’d be a wolf.

Great example of Robert Williams’ gravity on the roll in the opening play. Tatum set the back screen for the lob and 2 Kings went with him, leaving Tatum all alone for a 3-pointer – 7:43 PM
