‘2 girls and they get along like I’m Lou Will’ might be the single coolest name-drop that exists in hip-hop music. Lou Will exemplifies a 6th Man better than practically any other player who’s played this past decade, save for Jamal Crawford.

Lou Williams names Damian Lillard as the dream signing for his record label Winners United
Lou Williams was recently interviewed by the Boardroom Podcast in the advent of the launch of his new venture. Winners United is a music label that Williams has just started in order to transition into post-retirement life.
