During a recent episode of the show “Run It Back on Fanduel TV,” Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams expressed his disappointment for not receiving a tribute video from the Boston Celtics when he returned to TD Garden in April. He mentioned that the Celtics have played tribute videos for many players but didn’t play one for him.
“It definitely sucked because it would’ve been cool to see the highlights and the highs that we had throughout that team. We definitely had some great moments. But at the same time, I can always remember those by watching TV or going back and watching games”, Williams said when asked if he was upset with the Celtics.
“They were giving most guys videos, whether it was Rob [Robert Williams III] or Malcolm [Brogdon], and [Marcus] Smart. The game before, I think a couple of games before, Rob had texted saying he didn’t want a video. If Rob doesn’t get a video, it makes no sense to give me one. I expected that to happen“, he added.

Williams helped the Celtics reach the NBA Finals in 2022, where they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games. He played four seasons for the Celtics before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2023.
