Jawad Williams discusses his journey from high school to the pros
Posted May 20, 2020
"The (UNC vs. Duke) rivalry is unmatched," Jawad Williams said. “I’ve been to a lot of places, but there is nothing like this. I’ve seen the Real Madrid-Barcelona soccer rivalry and that one is crazy. When we have the opportunity to beat Duke, it becomes really heated. We don’t see each other except on the court. We stay on our side and they stay on their side.”
