Boston Celtics center Robert Williams had quite a special night in their 118-102 win over the Houston Rockets. Williams scored 20 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and dished out eight assists, while shooting 9-of-9 from the field on Friday night. The 6-foot-8 lefty's performance put him in the same breathe as Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic and NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain.

Per StatMuse, Celtics big man Robert Williams became just the third center in league history to notch at least 20 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, while going perfect from the field in a single game.

That's some insane company right there. Obviously, Wilt Chamberlain is arguably the greatest myth this league has ever seen with the way he dominated the NBA during his time. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic is arguably the best passing big man in NBA history with the way he can facilitate from the center position. It must be humbling for the Celtics big to get mentioned beside an all-time great and someone who is on the way to becoming one.

Williams hasn't been known for his passing through his first three years in the NBA, but he has shown flashes in the past. That was on full display with his eight dimes on Friday night.

The Celtics finally handed the center keys to Williams after the trade deadline, where they traded former starter Daniel Theis to the Chicago Bulls. Time Lord has been starting since March 26 and has wasted no time in rewarding Brad Stevens for entrusting him the starting job. In four starts so far, Williams is averaging 10.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 3.0 blocks.
