Grant Williams had earlier given himself the nickname ‘Batman’ after the Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets game on March 20, 2022. Williams decided to adopt the nickname after his splendid defensive performance against Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, who is known as the ‘Joker’. Williams actually asked teammate Jaylen Brown to spread the word through the media.
