after a successful high school career at murrah high school , williams attended college at the university of alabama , where he led his team as a freshman to a 27 -- 8 record , and also shared an sec regular-season championship .
after two seasons at alabama , williams entered the 2003 nba draft where he was selected with the 47th overall pick by the utah jazz .
the following year , he signed with the milwaukee bucks as a free agent .
williams was given the starting point guard position after milwaukee traded their former starting point guard , t. j. ford , to the toronto raptors .
that movement opened up a chance for williams to make a name for himself in the nba .
williams averaged over 30 minutes a game , as well as other career achievements .
on august 13 , 2008 , williams was a part of a three-team , six-player deal involving the bucks , cleveland cavaliers and oklahoma city thunder .
williams was traded to the cavaliers , and was immediately named their starting point guard .
he began scoring big numbers alongside lebron james .
williams played in his first all-star game in 2009 as a replacement for the injured chris bosh .
williams later had short stops playing for the los angeles clippers , utah jazz , portland trail blazers and minnesota timberwolves before being traded to the charlotte hornets in 2015 .
later that year , he re-joined the cavaliers .
