McCants vs Williams: College Rivalry Lingers

0:00On March 9th, Rashad Mkants and Doran Williams are added again in their long-running feud. Williams recently called Mkants a clown whose opinions do not matter. Mkants fired back by digging into their college days, pointing out that his North Carolina tar heels beat Williams' Illinois fighting Illini 3. Times. Those matchups started in Mkants' freshman and sophomore years, with the biggest one being the 2005 National Championship Game. Even though Williams outscored him 17-14 that night, his team still lost. Mkants has a short NBA stint of just four seasons, mostly followed by playing overseas. Williams, meanwhile, made three all-star teams nearly top the guards behind Chris Paul and won two Olympic golds. This is not their first clash. Mkants has previously joked about owning Williams in college, even calling him his son. Williams often points to his superior pro career to brush off the trash talk. Rivalries like this show how college battles can linger for years, keeping these ex-players fired up long after their court time ends.
