3) Teammates of both Chicago Bulls legend MJ, and LeBron: Scott Williams

The lone teammate that both played with LeBron and Jordan from the playing days with the Bulls from the latter of those two is the 6-foot-10 and 230 pound former North Carolina Tar Heel and big man Scott Williams. Although Williams didn’t play in all that many games as a LeBron teammate, he at least got to experience playing with both him and MJ.

Williams won three NBA Championships during his playing days in the NBA. All three of those titles came as a Jordan teammate with the Bulls in the early 1990’s. And he lasted all the way through to the 2004-05 season to see out LeBron as a rookie. It was a pretty long lasting career for Williams, who went from the early 1990’s to the mid 2000’s.

He played for seven different teams in total during his NBA. The bulk of his years in the NBA were spent with the Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and Milwaukee Bucks. He also had mixed stints with the likes of the Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets, among a couple of other teams, sprinkled into his NBA career.

In just shy of 750 career regular season games played (266 of which he started in), Williams was a pretty underrated contributor either in the starting five or a key second unit role most of the way. He averaged 5.1 points per game, 4.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks.

Williams was also an established playoff veteran. He played in just shy of 100 career playoff games, and had more than 20 starts in the postseason.
