Video: Clippers' Lou Williams Talks Chances of Making Basketball Hall of Fame

Tim DanielsApr 17, 2019

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams said Tuesday he's worthy of induction in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Williams told TMZ Sports he believes his resume is better than some players who've been enshrined in the past, though he didn't mention anybody specifically.

"Yeah, I've seen guys in the Hall of Fame with less. I've put the work in," he said. "… I've put a lot of work in, so it'll be nice to even get that appreciation."

Williams was also asked by TMZ about the Clippers' first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors and the organization's potential pitch to a star-studded free-agent class this summer.

On the Warriors: "It's one game at a time. It's 1-1. We men like they men, so we'll see what happens."

On the offseason: "L.A. always got good weather and we hoopin'."

Williams is coming off a monster performance against Golden State in Game 2. He tallied 36 points and 11 assists as the Clippers stormed back from a 31-point deficit in the third quarter to score a 135-131 victory after dropping Game 1, 121-104.

The 32-year-old Tennessee native, who's one of the top contenders to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, owns a unique Hall of Fame case. He's won top Sixth Man honors twice before, but his resume is otherwise lacking accolades. He's never made an All-Star team or won a championship.

An argument could be made he sacrificed his own numbers and playing time for the betterment of his teams over the years, and performed off the bench better than anyone else of this generation. But whether that equates to a call from Springfield when his career is over stands for debate.

For now, the bigger focus is trying to help the Clippers complete a stunning upset of the Warriors to potentially spark a deep playoff run.
