The NBL is mourning the passing of Corey Williams; one of the most beloved figures in the game, and a key to the League’s resurgence.

Williams lost his fight with cancer today at age 46.

Affectionately known as “Homicide”, Williams was a champion on the court winning the 2010 NBL MVP while playing for the Townsville Crocodiles. He played the game with immense passion, intensity, and joy and matched those incredible efforts off the court when he joined the NBL broadcast team as a commentator and analyst.

Williams will be remembered as one of the greatest ambassadors the NBL has ever seen. Always positive and enthusiastic, and never short of an opinion, his smile and energy lit up every room he walked into.
