Grant Williams Made a Funny (but needs to step the fuck up these playoffs)

The 2022-23 Boston Celtics finished the regular season 57-25 (good for 2nd in the East). This team could've easily won 60+ games but threw a few away with crucial mistakes down the stretch (how did we lose to the fucking Rockets???). None were as embarrassing as Grant Williams saying he's going to make both (free throws) before missing both in a chance that would've won the game for the Celtics.

Since Grant said he's looking for a deal in the range of 20 million a year, things have not gone super well for him. Since Valentine's Day, when reports of his salary demands came out, Grant is averaging 6.5/3.9/1.2 in a hair over 20 minutes a night. He's shooting .422% from the floor and .354% from three---not exactly 20 million-a-year numbies (although NBA contracts are insane compared to football with role guys).

I like Grant. IDK if he'll be on the C's past this season, but for a late 1st rounder, he's been a great fit and had some monumental moments (game seven vs. Milwaukee). Who knows how much he'll play in the playoffs, but at least he can have a little fun at his own expense.

The phrase "him" and all its variations have jumped the shark, but at least Grant knows when he's not being "him."

I'd argue that for not just the league, but all avenues of life!

If you can’t laugh at yourself you can’t live in the league□□‍♂️ https://t.co/SXsEXhfbRS

Credit to Grant for having some fun at his own expense. If he wants to make 20 million a year, might I suggest scoring 12ish a game off the bench with solid defense for the next two months? The Celtics playoff run starts Saturday afternoon. Hopefully, Grant and the rest of the C's are ready for another NBA Finals: Presented by YoutubeTV run. I'd love nothing more than to see Grant put up numbies that get him paid elsewhere en route to the Celtics 2nd championship since 1987 (which is fewer than storied organizations like the Florida/Miami Marlins (2), Minnesota Twins (2), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2), Houston Rockets (2), Detroit Pistons (3), Miami Heat (3), Houston Astros (2), Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders (2) and Los Angeles/St. Louis/Los Angeles again Rams (2) won over that same time frame).
