The words from LeBron James were appreciated.
They just weren’t going to be dwelled on by the rookie.
Maybe after this season ends, Bulls forward Patrick Williams will understand the gravity of the accolades from “The King.’’ Maybe after his career. Heck, maybe never.
As he reiterated on Thursday, that’s not what he plays the game for.
“I still honestly haven’t completely seen what he said, but I mean of course it’s a blessing, but I’m just out there to play basketball, help my team anyway I can with whoever I have to guard,’’ Williams said in a Zoom call with the media.
