Fourth, the characteristics of the playing style
Williams is 1.85 meters tall, weighs 82 kilograms, and plays as a point guard, Williams does not have a long-winding, domineering dunk, no stunt through Yang, no dazzling dribbling, no decisive projection, but he uses his strange and unexpected passing to gain a foothold in the NBA. Looking at Williams' passing, can take you to a world full of suspense, even the opponent defending him does not know how he will pass the ball, so there is still a saying "look at the white chocolate with the ball, one person with the ball and nine people panic", because you don't know what method he uses to pass the ball to you when!

In the 07-08 season, Williams announced his retirement for the first time, but announced his comeback again after a year, and the returning Williams played two seasons with the Magic and Grizzlies, and in the final season he could only score 1.9 points, 0.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists.
Why is Williams called "white chocolate"?
"Magic" Johnson's earliest nickname was "chocolate", and later because another nickname "Magician" was called louder, the nickname "chocolate" was gradually forgotten. When it was discovered that Williams was considered the successor of the magician, someone added the magician's previous early nickname to Williams, and because Williams was a white race, he changed his name to white chocolate.
