Brad Stevens says he’s not calling Celtics’ Grant Williams ‘Batman’
Celtics forward Grant Williams’s quest to rebrand himself as “Batman” finally got some play from Al Horford earlier this week after getting shot down by star teammates Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
“Is this Batman? Batman?!” Horford pointed at Williams after the third-year forward poured in a career-best 20 points in a win against the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday.
But just when Williams thought the name was taking off, his old coach threw some cold water on it — jokingly, of course.
During his weekly appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich,” Celtics’ president of basketball operations Brad Stevens was asked what he thought of Williams’s new nickname.
