One of the most selfless yet lethal players in NBA history is hanging up his kicks after 17 seasons in the league. 

Lou Williams, the three-time Sixth Man of the Year and all-time leading scorer off the bench, announced that he won’t be lacing them up in the league anymore. 

Being that it is Father’s Day, Williams’ daughter narrated the video announcing his retirement, which covered his entire journey through the league.

"You’ve had a lot of thoughts over these few years," she began. "Finally, today, I’m happy you’ve found peace with your decision.

"Sixth Man became your calling card. A role you not only owned but made it to be a lifestyle."

In a league full of star players in starting fives across the country, Williams was known as the lethal scoring weapon off the bench. He scored 13,396 of his career 15,593 points off the bench. The next-best is Jamal Crawford's 11,279 points. 

Williams eclipsed 1,123 games, starting just 122 of them, over his 17 years with six different teams, beginning his career with the Philadelphia 76ers, who drafted him 45th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft out of Snellville, Georgia, and South Gwinnett High School. 

Williams ended up landing with the Atlanta Hawks after seven seasons in Philly, followed by the Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers and back to the Hawks for his final season and a half.
