The Silent Assassin

After a successful high school career at Murrah High School, Maurice 'Mo' Williams was hoping for a successful collage career as well, as he attended the University of Alabama.
 In he 2002 season at 'Bama, Mo was a freshman, where he averaged 10.4pts and 4.5ast per game, starting every game at PG.
 In that season Alabama finished with a record of 27-8, including an amazing 17-0 record at home.
 Albama made the NCAA Tournament that year, but Mo and his 'Bama teamates could not get the jod done, going down 71-58 to Kent State in the 2nd round of the tournament.
 Mo played another year at Alabama in 2003 where he averaged 16.4pts and 8.8 ast per game, leading the team in both scoring and assists.
 Yet again the 2003 season ended with another early exir from the NCAA tournament as 'Bama lost to Indiana in the 1st round.
 Williams entered the 2003 NBA Draft where he got selected by the Utah Jazz at pick 47, in the second round.
 People say that the 2003 draft has been the best ever, as Miami's 3 stars LeBron, Wade and Bosh got picked in that draft, as well as Nuggets superstar Carmelo Anthony.
 Utah released Mo after his rookie season, where he averaged 5.0ppg and 1.3apg.
 Mo was signed with the Milwaukee Bucks after the Jazz realesed him.
 Williams started to shine with the Bucks in his 2nd NBA season where he averaged 10.2pts and 6.1ast per game, filling in for the Bucks injured starting PG, T.J Ford.
 Mo became a cluth player for the Bucks in the 2005/06 season, where he hit several game winning shots for the Bucks, along with getting 12.1ppg and 4.0ast per game that season.
 Williams got to start in the 2006/07 season after the Bucks traded T.J Ford.
 Mo had a break-out year in that season, getting 17.3ppg and 6.1ast per game, along with career highs in rebounds, averaging 4.8rpg.
 Williams also got his first triple-double that season, with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists on DEC 20 2006 vs the Miami Heat.
 It was much of the same in the next season for Mo, averaging 17.2ppg and 6.3ast per game in 07/08.
 Mo was apart of a 3-team, 6-player deal, where Mo ended up with the Cleveland Cavaliers, on AUG 13, 2008.
 When he got to Cleveland, Mo had to change his number to #2 after his former #25 was retired by Cavs legend Mark Price.
 Mo's first season with the Cavs marked his first All-Star match, filling in for Chris Bosh.
 Mo got 12 points and 5 assists in the 2009 All-Star match, for the East.
 In his first season as a Cav, Mo got a career high in points per game, getting 17.8ppg, along with shooting .436 percent from downtown, another career high.
 On FEB 11 2009 Williams put up a career high 44 points and 7assists in a match vs the Suns.
 Williams was a key in Cleveland's 2009/10 season getting 15.8ppg and 5.3apg.
 After LeBron left the Cavs, Mo was in trade-talk's but on his Twitter, Williams begged not to be traded.
 Williams hit a buzzer beater on NOV 14,2010 for the Cavs, vs his old team the Bucks, Mo also put up 25 points that game.
 So far this season (2010/11) Mo is getting 15.5ppg and 5.3apg for Cleveland.
 I hope Mo will keep on improving in future, as my Cavs will ned him to take over the offense, without King James.

 ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL.
