I Would Appreciate It If Robert Williams Would Stop Being Late
Look, when we first heard that Robert Williams was late to his first conference call because he overslept after the Draft I was willing to cut him some slack. He just had the biggest night of his life and shit happens. Also who really gives a shit about a media conference call anyways. I was able to look past it because I figured it would be a great learning experience for a guy that had questionable maturity heading into the Draft.
Well, I was wrong.
You want to miss conference calls? Be my guest, but here’s the thing, when you are a team’s first round pick, and you have one of the best opportunities of any rookie from this year’s class, you need to be on top of your shit. Especially if you’ve already fucked up for being late, missing your first summer league practice because you missed a flight due to oversleeping isn’t even a bad look, it’s not an awful look, it’s a disastrous look. Personally if it were me, I’d be so goddamn excited that I wouldn’t even be able to sleep so I’m not exactly sure how someone oversleeps again.
What you don’t want to do is get on Brad’s bad side. You know what makes this team go? Their hard work and dedication. Going the extra mile and putting in all the effort you possibly can. As long as you work really hard and are committed, Brad will play you. You don’t even have to be good (see Adbel, Nader)! I know we’ll all most likely forget this the second Robert Williams has an awesome alley oop or blocks a shot to the moon in a Summer League game, but come on man I need you to learn how to set your fucking alarm clock on your phone. There is literally no excuse in 2018 for oversleeping anything. Set like 50 alarms on your phone if you know you’re a slow riser. This isn’t college, this isn’t post draft fluff interviews, this is the time to put in work.
Which is why I am planning on reaching out to my best friend Danny to offer help. You give me a list of times this kid has to be awake and I will call him 10,000 times until we get confirmation that he’s actually up and brushing his teeth. I want this pick to turn out so well that I am willing to do MY part in order to make that happen. Hell, tell me where he’s moving and I’ll move in right next door and pound on his apartment bright an early each and every day. They say it takes a village to raise a child and goddammit if we have to join together to raise a 20 year old center prospect then that’s exactly what we will do. The Celtics are now the Kings Of The East, and it’s time everyone starts acting like it.
But again, do more of this and I’ll forgive you. I’m weak like that
