Arthur T. Williams (September 29, 1939 – September 27, 2018), also known as Hambone Williams, was an American professional basketball player.
Williams played basketball for two seasons at San Diego City College from 1959 to 1961 and for the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos during the 1962–63 season.[1]
Williams played seven seasons (1967–1974) in the National Basketball Association as a member of the San Diego Rockets and Boston Celtics. Williams became the second player in NBA history to record a triple-double within his first four NBA games, joining Oscar Robertson.[2] He averaged 5.3 points per game in his career and won an NBA Championship with Boston in 1974. He received his nickname in junior high when someone called out, "hambone" and he turned around.[3]
Williams also played briefly with the San Diego Conquistadors of the American Basketball Association in 1974–1975.
After suffering a stroke, Williams died on September 27, 2018, at the age of 78.[4]
