Luke echoed his colleague’s sentiments.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s sometimes easy to forget how good a basketballer he was; he was the MVP of the league,\u201d Luke said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is one of the rare people in sport, maybe even worldwide, who was able to keep the exact same energy on court as he has and did off court.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis ability to just be able to go from zero to a hundred was remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those characteristics were on full display during Perth\u2019s clash with Adelaide on January 25, 2019, at RAC Arena.<\/p>\n
After an incredible four-point play by Bryce Cotton, the now six-time MVP, and his Red Army fired back at Williams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe four-point play is legitimately one of the most iconic plays in world basketball,\u201d Luke said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don’t see it a great deal [in sport] where the player [comes over] and says he\u2019s going to shove it right up him.<\/p>\n
\u201cCorey took it in the perfect way, which goes back to his authenticity.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said what he said about Bryce Cotton, for whatever reason, leading up to it, but he didn’t shy away from it. He had a laugh, and he understood that he made his comment and can\u2019t shy away from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t think many commentators would have accepted it in any sport right across the world as well as he did.\u201d<\/p>\n
