In an interview with Ros Gold-Onwude, Williams spoke at length about how Rivers and the Clippers gave him new life. “Never give up,” Williams said. “That’s my Clippers story, never give up. I was at a place in my career where I thought that I was done, and Doc and the rest of the guys rejuvenated me again and gave me that confidence that I needed to move forward in my career. And I’ve had the best years of my career with the Clippers.”
