Way to go Cleveland- love to hear stuff like this. I hope this guy gets his life together as a result. He seriously has an amazing radio voice as well :)

This is so cool. After the Celts, I'm definitely pulling for the Cavs. Seems as an organization "they get it"

Classy move by the Cavs. Mr. Williams is definitely a talented person who deserves this chance after facing the hardship of homelessness and conquering drug and alcohol abuse problems.

Here's CBS interviewing him.

Awesome story. Great to see somebody catch a break for a change, instead of the other way around.

He's near Hudson and I'm surprised I've never seen him

Is he gonna be the new PA Announcer? I truly hope not, the guy you currently have (Oliver Sedra or something) is IMO the best PA Announcer in the league :)
