From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scott Christopher Williams (born March 21, 1968 in Hacienda Heights, California) is a former professional basketball player in the NBA.

Undrafted out of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the 6' 10" power forward/center signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1990. He played four seasons with the Bulls, mostly as a reserve, and won three championship rings from 1991 to 1993. In 1994, he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he played for 4½ injury-plagued seasons before being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in 1999. His career saw a brief resurgence in Milwaukee, where he averaged career-highs of 7.6 points and 6.6 rebounds during the 1999-2000 season. Williams also played for the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Now retired, beginning with the 2005-2006 NBA season, Williams accepted the Cleveland Cavaliers' offer to be television color commentator for Cleveland Cavaliers telecasts on FSN Ohio, sitting alongside Michael Reghi.

For the 2006-07 season, Williams was paired with former Detroit Pistons announcer Fred McLeod, who replaced Reghi as play-by-play man on the FSN Ohio telecasts.
