Question: What is Mikey Williams up to these days in the face of his much-ballyhooed contract dispute with the TNT Tropang Giga?
Answer: Reading about his much-ballyhooed contract dispute with the TNT Tropang Giga.
The controversial guard on Wednesday posted a strong quote on his Instagram Story, saying he's "not stressing bout no sh*t nomo." He recorded a double-double with the double negatives right there.
TNT has largely stayed mum on the issue, with team manager slash interim coach Jojo Lastimosa recently saying he's handing off the negotiations to coach Chot Reyes.
Williams has reportedly turned down a huge offer from the Tropang Giga, putting his career in limbo. But for the two-time PBA Finals MVP, he made the right decision.
"Risk is always better than regret. Just be patient," wrote Williams in a different post on Instagram on Wednesday.
Several PBA players commented, including San Miguel Beermen's Chris Ross, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel's Jared Dillinger, and Converge FiberXers' Schonny Winston. Former PBA player Joe Devance also chimed in.
Curiously, TNT center Poy Erram also reacted, putting up three 100 emojis.
Without the California native, the Tropang Giga are off to a 2-1 start in the PBA Commissioner's Cup, with their latest win coming off against the Terrafirma Dyip on Wednesday.

In an age where player empowerment has become more pronounced, the 32-year-old Williams surely knows what he's worth. And he wants to get the biggest bayong of cash he can get. It's his livelihood, after all.
While many fans may not disagree with his move and brand him as a primadonna or entitled, the spunky playmaker is living with his decision.
As the great litterateur William Shakespeare did not say: Not stressing bout no sh*t nomo.
