But Williams, who has developed into a key reserve for the Sixers, said he managed to talk down the gunman -- and then treated his would-be assailant to McDonald's.

"A guy tried to rob me but decided not to because of whatever I do in the community," the 25-year-old Williams told the Daily News. "He's a Lou Williams fan, so he didn't rob me."

Williams told the paper that he was driving his car when the man began to approach with a gun drawn and then knocked on the driver's window.

"There's crime everywhere," Williams told the Daily News. "I was debating whether to pull off to help the guy. The gun was already out. He did all the talking, and we came up with a solution before I could really say much. I treated him to McDonald's."

Another day in America.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my sonā€™s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, Iā€™m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, itā€™s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons donā€™t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, thatā€™s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team thatā€™s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we arenā€™t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didnā€™t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The ā€œriskā€ to our franchiseā€™s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isnā€™t chock full of visiting fans since weā€™ve won so much since 2022. Again, you wonā€™t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
