Ex-NBA Guard Eager to Outshine Hornets Owner in Celebrity All-Star Game

Actor and musician Eric Church recently spoke with Schnall. Church told Schnall he thought he was coaching Williams, not facing him.
The Exchange That Sparked It
A clip shared on Feb. 11, 2026, by NBA Courtside captured the interaction. Schnall reportedly told Church he would be playing, and added a remark about Williams being old.
Williams reacted publicly to the comment. He said he has “something for” Schnall and promised a dramatic response on game night.
Williams’ Promise
The former point guard said he will check in the moment Schnall enters the game. He added he will not wait for the coach.
Williams described the moves he plans to use. He mentioned between-the-legs moves, flashy finishes off the head, and a short skip pull-down.
