EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The young fellow who scored the final NBA points at the Meadowlands was surprised to hear that he shares the same last name with the guy who scored the first two points at what was then known as Brendan Byrne Arena.
Surprised, but not dumbfounded.
Because if there is one thing Terrence Williams learned in college from Louisville coach Rick Pitino, it was to respect the elders, including former Net Buck Williams, who made it possible for Terrence's generation to earn millions.
"He would talk about all the older guys he thought were great, Buck Williams, Bernard King, Junior Bridgeman, Dr. Dunkenstein (Darrell Griffith), stuff like that. So you've got to get a little history class before you actually get to play for him," Williams said.
