PISCATAWAY -- The first time Mike Williams played in Madison Square Garden, it was as an 8-year old in a Brooklyn recreation game.
But Williams has memories of New York's famed basketball court before that.
The Rutgers junior guard was a ball boy on multiple occasions for the New York Knicks in the early 2000s.
He says he was "4 or 5'' years old then, idolizing the Knicks' best players.
"I used to love watching Latrell Sprewell when I was younger,'' Williams said, "(and) Stephon Marbury, him being from Brooklyn, I used to like watching him as well.
