Summary

By now, you've probably heard about the pickle Jay Williams of ESPN finds himself in. After tweeting that Ime Udoka is the first head coach of color for the Boston Celtics, he then responds that somebody stole his password and posted that. Not that he was "hacked" and not that he's going to make every effort to hold whomever did this accountable.
