While much of sports media shines the light on power players like Lebron James and Steph Curry, there are a multitude of players with just as much talent, hustle and work ethic. One of those players is Alan Williams, formerly of the Phoenix Suns and now a free agent rumored to be pursued by The NY Knicks. Along with his outstanding athletic ability as a pro basketball player, what really makes Williams stand out, is his attitude towards being a team player and doing whatever is needed to lift his team mates up, both on and off the court. ONE37pm's Senior Culture Editor Brian Anthony Hernandez sat with him to discuss his career, respect for his family, especially his police chief mom, his drive to fill whatever role his team needs him to be, and much more.

This week's Latest Launch recommendations are Childish Gambino's Summer Pack and the online retailer Asos, with their new initiatives on sustainability with their new designs.
