Utah Jazz's Cody Williams Steps into Media Role for NBA Finals Game 6
The Utah Jazz player Cody Williams took on the role of a media correspondent for the NBA ahead of Game 6 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. Cody, who was the 10th overall pick in the previous summer's draft and the brother of Thunder forward Jalen Williams, surprised his brother by not informing him about his media duties at the game. Despite the secrecy, Cody was there to support Jalen as he aimed to close out the series. The NBA often designates players as media correspondents for Finals games, with Cody being the latest to take on this role. Jalen Williams has been a standout player in the Finals, particularly in Game 5, where he scored 40 points, leading the Thunder to a 3-2 series lead over the Pacers. Cody expressed his pride and admiration for his brother's performance on the big stage, finding it motivating for his own aspirations in the NBA. Watching Jalen excel in the Finals has been a surreal experience for Cody, who is determined to follow in his brother's footsteps.
