You want his jewels or what?
Nothing but big respect to Lou and Jamal for embracing the 6th man for there team. Thank P and the crew for this podcast with Lou, such fun stories to hear from him during his NBA career with A.I and Kobe!
This is one of those episodes you don't want to end. So fun to listen to these true friends talk.
Daaaaaaaaamn, the Kobe stories never end. The signatures during his last game and even pouring him up some drinks on the plane really made me feel a type of way.
I love Lou man. Top tier human being

This is one of the best episodes of PG podcast! Lou is such a cool guy and a great hooper!
You Can See Lou Is A Super Solid, Sharp Dude That Is Confident In Himself And Who He Is…That In Itself Is Respect! If It’s A Lou Will Interview I’m Watching…Love The Case He Made For Why He’s A HOF Too…
Sweet Lou was a hell of a guest and a great episode ❤🔥who's the Man United fan?!
Love Lou man ! I’m glad he is enjoying retirement ❤️🙏🏾
Any time y’all mention kob on the show I feel tears. That’s incredible that he sat there and signed all that stuff for y’all. He was gone too soon, him and his daughter.
Lou Williams is not jus a hall of famer but a legend n how all 6 man should be successful
That game between Lou and Monte in hs was crazy❗️❗️
Thanks for doing this PG! You’re awesome and love hearing the true inside of the NBA

I got some much appreciation for you guys you did great job on one and Lou W was so funny with those stories 😂 I laugh out of control for real . Thank you guys can’t wait for the next episode now. 😂
Fantastic episode! One of the best. Lou is the man.
This the best episode man bro I have no words y’all killed it
Amazing episode! Glad there showing out for Lou he deserves his 🌺
Lou Will is so chill lol hard not to like this guy..great player and person
One of my favorite Sixers ever, great interview
Wow so cool to hear the mentality of how they started and to how they grew as a man. So glad to be able to see these podcast interviews
The truth about the bubble is that the clippers probably would be in a better position today if they took that seriously but hey everybody can’t be that mentally tough 🤷🏾♂️

I agree! That man did his job and he did it well!
6:12 Love hearing how Lou can come and watch an NBA game as a fan, and just enjoy the experience. But fr tho, all these stories of him playing with Iverson ... and Kobe too. I was very young when Iverson was in his first years, so it's cool to hear this from a close teammate, well spoken guy too, and picture everything that really went down. So manyy amazing stories. Might be my favorite episode of all these podcasts. The bubble experience sounddss hilariousss. Kawhi in his hotel room, Claw's Kitchen, cooking full meals. With Lou being locked up and y'all goin to visit him. 😂 Love the friendship it seems like y'all have. Im in Toronto, so big Raptors fan. And I lovedd having Lou Will play for uss. I enjoyed watchin this man play on every team he played for also. Like no matter the score of the game, you sub in Lou Will or even Jamal Crawford .. and they just start knockin down shot after shot. You just expect them to score it's actually crazy to witness. Shoutout to Lou Will, thanks for all these amazing stories and the laughs. Good luck to him and his next chapter of coaching that girl's team. Yea, everyone gotta watch this episode. This a damn great time 😎😎
I love you Lou thanks for everything you did for clipper nation man you the shit 👍👍👍👍
This episode is goated.Had mad fun watching it.
Thanks for the episode guys. Good episode.
I did not start this podcast thinking that I would end up agreeing with every take Lou Will has for wings. Now I just need me two GFs and im living like Lou
