They might as well rename the Sixth Man of the Year award after Lou Williams when he’s done. He’s one of just three players to have won the award three times in their careers, and you don’t see anyone else getting a song called “6 Man” made about them by Drake.
In fact, Lou has so many Sixth Man trophies that he’s decided to name his newborn son after the award. Syx Williams, future NBA Sixth Man of the Year? Syx Man like Lou Will?
As he ages through his 30s, it seems like Lou is only getting better. In addition to his 2013 Sixth Man season with the Toronto Raptors, he’s won the award in both of his last two seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, and he’ll have a solid case to win it again this season.
Right now, he’s tied with Jamal Crawford for the most Sixth Man trophies in league history. If you’re going to name your kid after the trophy, you can’t be in a tie for the record, right? We’d love to see him get one more.
