NBA: John Hot Rod Williams just passed away Wow. R.I.P
John "Hot Rod" Williams, one of the NBA's best sixth men in the 1980s and '90s, has died of cancer at his home near Sorrento, Louisiana. He was 53. Williams' agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed his death Friday. Williams, a 6-11 power forward, played 13 seasons in the NBA but was best known for being a standout with the Cleveland Cavaliers from 1986 to 1995. The news stunned former teammates and executives who had been encouraged when Williams came through an earlier cancer diagnosis this year. "It's devastating," said Wayne Embry, the Cavs general manager from 1986-99. "He was a hard worker and a great player but I liked him more as a person than a basketball player."

Hot Rod was also a standout for Tulane University in NCAA basketball. I consider him as one of the NBA's biggest underachievers. | |

That makes 3, along with Moses and Dawkins.
RIP Hot Rod "Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself." | |

Sad to hear the news about Hot Rod. As a student at the University of South Carolina during the old Metro Conference basketball era I had the opportunity to see a lot of great talent like Hot Rod, Keith Lee, Dell Curry, Purvis Ellison, Milt Wagner, Billy Thompson, Perry Young, Andre Turner, William Bedford, etc. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |
