Grant Williams mocked by fans during 2024 NBA Finals
Grant Williams was a popular name among NBA fans last season. Williams was traded by the Boston Celtics ahead of the 2023–24 NBA season and then the Mavericks shipped him to Charlotte at the trade deadline.
He would have had the chance to play in the Finals with either team, but none of that happened. Fans trolled him when he attended Game 5 of the Finals, even asking if he could get a 'Luka s**ks' jersey to taunt his former teammate.
Moreover, he was on the receiving end of jokes after predicting the Celtics would win by six points to close out the series and ended up winning by 18 points.
The forward is now trying to be a vet for the Hornets, who are still in a crisis and trying to find their identity in the NBA.
