Grant Williams tells the tale of when he said he would make BOTH free throws – and missed both

Fans of the Boston Celtics tend to look back at the tenure of reserve forward Grant Williams positively, his likable dorkiness and occasional on-court fieriness winning him fans.

Check out the clip embedded below to hear former NBAer JJ Redick grill the Charlotte native on his widely-seen faux pas.
