Grant Williams is “too nerdy” to be much of a trash talker, he said during a recent episode of Tidal League’s Run Your Race podcast.
But, at the same time, there are some things that he feels that he can’t let slide.
The trash talk that Jimmy Butler unleashed during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals was one of them.
Williams said Butler started talking trash with 6:37 remaining in the game, after Williams hit a 3-pointer to put the Celtics up by 9.
“We’re playing that game, I think we’re up by like eight,” Williams told Theo Pinson during the episode.
