Corey “Homicide” Williams made the cover of Townsville Bulletin Sport after his 28-point performance in Townsville’s upset win over Perth two weeks ago. Mr. 187 led Townsville to a deciding Game 3 on Saturday night against the South Dragons, but managed just 10 points as the team’s season came to a close.
He doesn’t have a shaved head or braids. Nor does he rock Nike or Adidas. His post-game interviews aren’t full of clichés. In many ways, Corey “Homicide” Williams is a rebel on the basketball court. The former Alabama State standout, however, might just be exactly what Australia’s NBL needs.
In many ways, Homicide and the NBL are a match made in heaven. Homicide is looking for a place to shine and garner enough recognition to land an NBA gig—something he nearly did when he was the Toronto Raptors’ last cut before the 2005-2006 season. The NBL is looking for a new face of the league—something it has struggled to find since Andrew Gaze’s retirement in, you guessed it, 2005.
