After tying the record set by Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry with 7 made 3-pointers in a Game 7 on his way to a career-high 27 points, Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams was dubbed ‘Grant Curry‘ by his teammates in a nod to the iconic Western Conference sharpshooter.
Still basking in the glow of helping his club beat the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks 109-81 on Sunday afternoon to advance to the 2022 Eastern Conference finals, Williams spoke with the press about his career night and the subsequent nickname bestowed on him for his lights-out shooting from beyond the arc.
“I just laughed, because I said ‘We’re both from Charlotte, so it must be a thing,'” joked Williams.
