Mo is not another Larry.

I'm sure you've at least seen the highlights from last nights Cavaliers game against the Kings. So you already know about how Mo Williams went off for 43 points (including 7-12 from three-point land), 11 assists and 8 rebounds. I'm not going to go into any more detail about that, because, quite frankly, you already know from the highlights that Mo Williams is an absolute beast with one of the wettest jump shots in the history of professional basketball. Now, I could sit here and talk about the fact that he has the hardest tattoo of a cartoon related to food in the NBA, based off a poll of 100 random National Basketball Association players [citation needed], but we could save those stories for another snowy day.

Instead, I want to cover a topic that I had an argument about at work today with a co-worker. (Of course, the fact that this was even a topic of conversation is laughable, but considering the said co-worker is a Michigan fan, you can't really expect much more out of the man.) While I was bragging (like I always do) about Mo Williams' bulldozing of the Kings, he felt it was necessary to start the topic that Mo Williams is exactly like Larry Hughes. He then said that "hell, even Larry Hughes dropped 40 for the Cavs at one point in his career."

While this may be true, I quickly reminded him that Larry Hughes was the biggest waste of money (and still is to this day) in the NBA not named Brian Cardinal. Now, I remember exactly what I was doing and where I was at when Larry dropped 40 last year on Orlando. Why, you ask? Because you always remember where you were at when you had your first kiss. You always remember where you were when you saw a star exploding. (Translation: You remember where you were when you did/saw something that will only happen once in your lifetime.)

Sure, Larry had some good games with the Cavaliers. They typically occurred whenever there were 5 Mondays in a calendar month (roughly two times a year). Now, after laughing profusely for a good 4 minutes straight, I proceeded to tell him how he's either a.) smoking crack or b.) clinically insane.

You see, ever since Mo Williams became an everyday starter for the Bucks, he always had solid numbers. Mo Williams is a legit 17-4-4 a game player. Something Larry Hughes was for one fluke, contract-fueled season with the Washington Wizards. Oh, and who could forget all the Larry Hughes injuries? The pulled groins, the broken fingers, the twisted ankles, the I-got-a-new-tattoo-on-my-face-and-won't-be-able-to-play-for-two-weeks injuries. Larry was NEVER healthy. Mo Williams on the other hand, knock on wood, has been typically a healthy player throughout his career.

Mo Williams is nothing like Larry Hughes. Mo Williams doesn't complain. Mo Williams is a team player. Mo Williams has a sweet house in Avon Lake. Mo Williams is the closest thing the Cavs have ever seen to be considered the robin to LeBron's batman. They feed off of each other so much. I don't think you could get a better fit for LeBron. And hopefully, these two will be in Cleveland, hanging banners from the rafters of the Q for a long time.
