Mo is just finishing up his workout here at Cleveland Clinic Courts. We are expecting to start closer to between 1:30 p.m. or 2:00 p.m.
Moderator (1:39 PM)
Just checking in here from Cleveland Clinic Courts. We are still waiting on Mo to arrive. He is just finishing up and should be arriving here to chat in the next 15-20 minutes.
Moderator (2:04 PM)
Sorry for the delay, Mo is still on his way over. Should be starting in the near future.
Moderator (2:26 PM)
Sorry everyone. Still waiting. Mo is a busy man! We promise we'll get this in this afternoon. Stay tuned.
James (Cleveland, OH)
Welcome to Cleveland MO. I saw on Cavs.Com that you have already grown fond of the Cavs practice facility. What other Cavs players have you been working out with? Based on the workouts, can you name a teammate outside of LeBron who you think you'll have good chemistry with?
Mo Williams (2:34 PM)
I think I'll have good chemistry with everyone, including Ben, Daniel, and Z to name a few. Everybody brings something different to the table and I don't think it will be long before we gel.
Andrew (Ohio State)
What is the number 1 song on your IPod?
Mo Williams (2:34 PM)
Usher, the whole CD.
Dustin (Senath)
Mo, Im so happy you are coming here. Words cant describe it. I know what your gonna do on the court, but my question is off the court. Is the Mo Williams Show coming with you? Haha, they are really entertaining!
Mo Williams (2:35 PM)
That was part of the package deal. The Mo Williams Show will definitely be coming soon!
Demetri (Cleveland, OH)
Is it true that you listen to "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins before every game? If so, I'd just like to say that that is incredible.
Mo Williams (2:36 PM)
That is true.
Mike (Brecksville)
USC or OSU Saturday?
Mo Williams (2:36 PM)
OSU. Why not? Roll Tide!
Kevin (Cleveland)
Hey Mo can yo dunk?
Mo Williams (2:37 PM)
I definitely can. Go to YouTube. I've had a couple in my NBA career in 6 years.
Anonymous (Greenville, SC)
Mo, this is your brother Mike. Why did you choose #2. We've been wearing #25 since 1986. However, I do like the choice of #2.
Mo Williams (2:38 PM)
What's up bro? #25 is retired and I thought #2 would fit me well.
Andrew (Ohio State)
Do you have a nickname other than "Mo"?
Mo Williams (2:38 PM)
Mo Gotti and Peanut.
John (Springfield)
Who are some of the players you idolized, or tried to model your game after, as you were growing up?
Mo Williams (2:39 PM)
Gary Payton...growing up was one of my favorite players.
Kyle (Lockport)
Who inspired you to play basketball? If it wasnt a person, what influenced you to play?
Mo Williams (2:40 PM)
It was definitely being athletic and obviously a guy by the name of Fred Williams when I was at the age of 8. What made me pursue it over baseball, was girls.
Sam (Akron, OHIO)
Skim or 2% milk?
Mo Williams (2:41 PM)
Whole milk.
Matt (Cleveland OH)
What is your favorite movie?
Mo Williams (2:41 PM)
Favorite movie is Friday. Then Next Friday, and Friday After Next.
Momo in C-town
Hey Mo! So i was wondering how you feel about being called a "Cavalier Killer"???
Mo Williams (2:42 PM)
LOL.
Crump (Richmond Hts, OH)
Congrats on the Marriage! It's the hardest beautifuliest thing you will do in your life. The Cavs is a defensive rebounding team first. How do you feel about coming to a team where defense is FIRST & LAW?
Mo Williams (2:43 PM)
I'm excited about it. Knowing what it takes to win and knowing that a team is committed to the defensive side of the basketball is a positive sign.
Gee (Seattle, WA)
Mo are you going to look to push the temp, or walk the ball up?
Mo Williams (2:43 PM)
Definitely get out and run and push the ball. That is one of my strengths.
Jason (Wooster)
Are you ready to have the best fans in the NBA support you?
Mo Williams (2:44 PM)
Most definitely!
Brendan (Millersburg, OH)
What was the first major thing you bought after getting your first NBA contract?
Mo Williams (2:44 PM)
I bought my Mom a house.
Anonymous (Chicago, IL)
Who is your favroite basketball player now and athlete?
Mo Williams (2:45 PM)
Quite honestly it is LeBron. As for an athlete, I would say Usain Bolt.
Brett Fuller (Las Vegas, NV)
i was wondering what do you like to do on your off time. play xbox 360? if so what are some of your favorite games? its great having you on the cavs. good luck this year and take care.
Mo Williams (2:47 PM)
I play both X-Box 360 and Playstation 3. I prefer x-Box 360, but they don't have "MLB - The Show.", so I have to play every other game on the X-Box.
Scott (Cleveland, OH)
Mo, for those Cavs fans that haven't seen you play can you describe your game and what you can bring to the Cavaliers?
Mo Williams (2:48 PM)
Up tempo, scoring option, leadership and a will to win.
Brent (Chardon, OH)
How's the city so far?
Mo Williams (2:48 PM)
The city has been great. It did nothing but embrace my presence. Looking foward to getting settled.
Mo Williams (2:48 PM)
Last question before I have to go.
Mo Williams (2:49 PM)
Spend time with my kids. I have 4 boys (9, 3, 2, and 5 months), play video games and golf a little bit.
Mo Williams (2:50 PM)
Fans thanks for taking the time to chat with me. Look forward to seeing you at The Q. Go Cavs!
