The 7th pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, Walt Williams, standing 6'8", nicknamed "The Wizard" by one of his college coaches, Bob Wade, for passing and ball-handling skills, was considered one of the most consistent 3-point shooters in the league. After retiring from the NBA, Walt served as one of the commentators for Comcast Sports PostGame show, analyzing the Washington Wizards performance and conducting player interviews, alongside Dave Branch and Glen Consor. |
| The Walt Williams Foundation was created and founded by Walt “WIZARD” Williams, Jr. in September 1999. His personal experience with losing a family member to cancer motivated him to start the Foundation. Walt Williams Sr. died October 13, 1992 after a short bout with throat cancer. He passed just a couple of weeks before his son played in his first NBA game. Walt Jr felt a strong desire to support families affected by cancer. He understands first-hand the emotional and financial stress of seeing a love one suffer from the disease. He realized there is a need to assist families, by providing financial support, education and resources. Walt Jr. also wanted to give back to the community, by supporting and conducting athletic, social and academic activities. |
