Former Philadelphia 76er Lou Williams has officially announced his retirement after 17 seasons in the NBA.
The three-time Sixth Man of the Year was drafted by the 76ers in the second round (45th pick) of the 2005 NBA Draft. Williams spent seven seasons with the team, averaging 11.3 points to go along with 3.4 assists per game. He played sparingly over the course of his first two years but became a major contributor starting in 2007. Playing alongside the likes of Allen Iverson, Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Jrue Holiday, and Thaddeus Young, Williams was a part of four playoff teams in Philadelphia including the 2011-2012 team which came one game from making the Eastern Conference Finals.
