Basketball great Bone Collector confronts Karl-Anthony Towns on Venice Beach's court

Larry Williams, also known as The Bone Collector and The Most Dangerous Streetball Player In The World, continues to make waves in the basketball community, despite the lack of specific dates or locations for some of his matches.

One of the most intriguing videos featuring Williams showcases a match against a player named Skip. This video is just one of several showcasing his streetball skills, which are available for viewers to enjoy.

Throughout his career, Williams has faced a variety of opponents, including the tallest one yet, Mamadou, who stands at 7'6′′. The match between Williams and Mamadou will be a notable test of Williams' skills against a significantly taller opponent.

In a series of streetball videos in 2021, Williams competed against local streetball talents like Donte Thomas and other players, solidifying his reputation as a formidable opponent.

The streetball community eagerly anticipates the upcoming matches between Williams and Mamadou, and between Williams and the most recent NBA player to challenge him, Mac McClung.

During the And 1 era, Williams gained significant respect from NBA players, including Allen Iverson, who reportedly declined a 1-on-1 challenge, to which Williams famously responded, "he was smart."

Williams' impressive ball-handling skills will be highlighted in the upcoming top 20 ankle breakers list, a compilation of various streetball moves performed by different players. The list will also feature moves from Williams' games, showcasing his unique style and skill.

In May, Karl-Anthony Towns, the unanimous rookie of the year, visited the courts of Venice Beach, played pick-up games, shot a Gatorade commercial, and played 1-on-1 with Williams.

Over the course of 14 years and approximately 100 games on the And 1 and Ballup tour, Williams continues to be willing to play 1-on-1 with anyone, solidifying his place as a streetball legend. His videos, filled with impressive moves and a fierce competitive spirit, serve as a testament to his enduring influence on the sport.
