John 'Hot Rod' Williams dies at 53
John "Hot Rod" Williams, one of the NBA's best sixth men in the 1980s and '90s, has died of cancer at his home near Sorrento, Louisiana. He was 53.
Williams' agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed his death Friday.
Williams, a 6-11 power forward, played 13 seasons in the NBA but was best known for being a standout with the Cleveland Cavaliers from 1986 to 1995. The news stunned former teammates and executives who had been encouraged when Williams came through an earlier cancer diagnosis this year.
"It's devastating," said Wayne Embry, the Cavs' general manager from 1986 to 1999. "He was a hard worker and a great player, but I liked him more as a person than a basketball player."
