10 best NBA players to ever come out of the Denver area
5. Chuck Williams, PG (Boulder)
The 6-foot-2 lead guard out of East High School in Denver did the city proud. Williams stayed in-state and played for the University of Colorado. He would play six years in the ABA, then join the Buffalo Braves (now L.A Clippers) after the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. Williams was a two-time All-Star.
He was an ABA building block helping set up today's NBA. Denver East & @CUBuffsMBB standout Chuck Williams played 8 pro seasons when players flew commercial, stayed in OK hotels & ate questionable food. But he knew no different. He just kept playing.https://t.co/eKYEma02vC pic.twitter.com/XRsARIZZT1
