Deron Williams Celebrated Thanksgiving Early By Carving Up a Defense In Turkey

Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be here all weekend. Make sure to tip your waitress.

After we saw Andrei Kirilenko get his face busted up and concussed in Russia and J.R. Smith hurt his knee in China in the same weekend, I was starting to wonder if this whole “playing overseas during the lockout” thing was really worth it. While there is a risk, it certainly seems worth it for Deron Williams, who put up 50 points against Göttingen Tuesday. According to the YouTube description, Williams finished with 50 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. One assist for a guy who has averaged 9.2 dimes in the NBA over the past 6 seasons? Looks like Deron Williams is going to get his shots during the lockout. [SLAM]
