Celtics play-by-play announcer throws major shade at former Vols standout Grant Williams

It's no secret that former Tennessee Vols standout Grant Williams is a polarizing figure in the NBA. 

Williams, who was traded to the Charlotte Hornets earlier this season after spending the first half of the season with the Dallas Mavericks, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Boston Celtics. 

And apparently while in Boston, one of the people that Williams rubbed the wrong way was Celtics play-by-play announcer Mike Gorman. 

Gorman recently joined 98.5 The Sports Hub and he threw some major shade at Williams. 

"He was annoying," said Gorman when asked about Williams. "He was annoying to everybody. I think, initially, everyone kind of thought 'oh isn't he kind of a wise ass, but he's cute and he's kinda funny'. And then it just kind of wore thin....he has some issues in that area that if he doesn't get rid of -- he's not good enough to have teams say, 'ok but despite that we're going to keep him because he's a great player'. He's not. He's extra. He's the eighth, ninth, tenth guy on your roster. If you're a bad locker room guy, you're not going to be the eighth or ninth guy for long because you're not going to be on the team for long."
