Did Lou Williams win any NBA rings? Learn all there is to know about him as the 17-year NBA veteran retires from the league.

Lou Williams announced his retirement from the NBA on Sunday, ending a career after winning the league’s Sixth Man award three times and scoring more points off the bench than anyone in history. Williams played for six teams — Philadelphia, Toronto, the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston, the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta. He last played in the 2021-22 season with the Hawks.

Out of 1,123 regular-season games played over 17 seasons, Williams came off the bench in 1,001. He scored 13,396 points off the bench, which is 2,117 more than Jamal Crawford and 2,249 more than Dell Curry. Williams and Crawford are the only three-time recipients of the Sixth Man award in league history. Williams was the 45th pick in the 2005 NBA draft.

Out of the 60 players taken that year, only Chris Paul scored more points in the NBA than Williams — who went straight to the league out of high school. He scored a career-high 50 points against the Warriors in 2018. Though he finishes his career with 15,593 points – the 131st in NBA history – many fans are asking whether he has ever won the Championship or not.

Has Lou Williams ever won the NBA Championship?

As it turns out, no, Lou Williams has never won the NBA Championship.

Williams spent seven seasons with Philadelphia before signing with the Atlanta Hawks in 2012, playing two seasons there before being traded to the Toronto Raptors in the 2014 offseason. He spent a season with the Raptors and then signed with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2015 until the middle of the 2016–17 NBA season, when he was traded to the Houston Rockets.

After finishing the season with the Rockets, he was then traded in the 2017 offseason to the Los Angeles Clippers. Williams was dealt back to the Hawks in 2021. The Hawks legend could not win the Championship in his 17-year NBA career, but it is unlikely to dent his legacy.
