Former NBA player Hot Rod Williams on life support battling cancer
John 'Hot Rod' Williams is in the intensive care unit of a hospital in the Baton Rouge area battling cancer. He grew up in nearby Sorrento, La. He always went home after the NBA season.
Mark Bartelstein, former Williams' agent, said they thought the health problems started for Williams about six months ago with prostate cancer. But then it spread and spread.
He's 53 and fighting for his life.
