From NBC PHILADELPHIA:

Sixers guard Lou Williams is always cool in the clutch and it seems his ability to stay calm in tense situations extends to his life off the court as well.

Williams’ reputation as a good player on the court and good man off of it stopped an armed man from robbing him in Manayunk on Christmas Eve, according to the Daily News.

“A guy tried to rob me but decided not to because of whatever I do in the community,” Williams told the Daily News before the Sixers opener Monday night. “He’s a Lou Williams fan so he didn’t rob me.”

The man had reportedly approached Lou Will’s car, knocked on the driver-side window and demanded money.

Lou did give the man money but for a dinner rather than for anything else, according to the paper.
