Roy Williams excerpt: Why basketball was his release
"One of our neighbors at that house on Warren Avenue had a basketball goal in the backyard. I never had a basketball, but they had one, and when I wanted to get away from what was going on at home, I would just go over there and shoot. The goal was a pole with a plywood backboard, and there was no net, just a bent rim. I’d go over there for hours. If it was raining or snowing, I’d get filthy on the dirt court, but I didn’t mind. It was something I could do by myself." (WRAL Sports Fan)
