He became a virtual rock star. Who else remembers Stephen A. Smith\u2019s stunned reaction after Duke just destroyed Kentucky in the first game of the season?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Now imagine being on his team and what you would see.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Appearing on Podcast P with Paul George, Murphy talks about Williamson\u2019s shocking blend of power and athleticism, and how he, on a regular basis, is dumbfounded by something Williamson does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">He relays a couple of anecdotes and some impressions, and makes a surprising analogy, comparing Williamson to a bar of soap: solid but smooth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For his part, George talks about playing against Williamson, and what a challenging opponent he is.
