Mo Williams is bringing the goosey back to Cleveland

We’ll see Mo Williams back in a Cavaliers jersey soon. Per his Instagram page, an old friend has come back to Cleveland with him: the goosey.

The three-point celebration became synonymous with Mo during his first go-round with the Cavs from 2008 to 2011. He sank a team-best 183 triples on the 2009 team that (somehow) fell to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Williams expressed his excitement to return to Cleveland in a first-person essay for The Players Tribune. He was part of the team’s young core then, but now he is a relative old head. He wrote that he’s looking forward to bringing a veteran’s point of view to Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, and the rest of the Cavs’ young stars.

As the young guys back then, we had that youthful outlook — we thought success would last forever. The vets put it in perspective and let us know that the time is now. In the NBA, you never know when you’ll get a championship opportunity again. Now that I’m in that position now, I want to bring that same urgency and perspective to the young guys.

We don’t yet know what number Mo will be wearing in his second tour with the wine and gold, though we have presented some possibilities. If Mo wants to go, ahem, all in on the shot that the goosey was born to celebrate, he could do a lot worse than No. 3.
