The moniker ‘Underground GOAT’ followed him as he proved, time and again, to be a stellar performer even alongside superstars.
The nickname ‘Lemon Pepper Lou’ stemmed from a lively incident during the NBA bubble period, leading to a trademark and the subsequent christening of a wing called the “Louwill Lemon Pepper BBQ” in Atlanta’s Magic City strip club.
Beyond his on-court prowess and quirky nicknames, Williams is remembered as a mentor, friend, and father, as poignantly highlighted in his daughter’s narration in the retirement video.
