About Micheal Williams
About Micheal Williams
Micheal Williams was raised in Southern Dallas and attended Carter High School, where he excelled academically and athletically. His performance on the basketball court led to a scholarship at Baylor University and selection by the Detroit Pistons in the 1988 NBA Draft.
During his NBA career, he was part of the “Bad Boys” championship team and set the NBA record for most consecutive free throws—97. Throughout his professional career, he remained committed to giving back and supporting children in their educational pursuits.
After retiring from the NBA, Williams returned to Dallas, launched his own business, and continued pursuing his philanthropic vision. That commitment became the Mike Williams Assist 4 Life Foundation, focused on education, high-need schools, strategic partnerships, and the success of every child it serves.
