Suns forward Alan Williams opens up about meeting Nickelback

Are we having fun yet?

Phoenix Suns power forward Alan Williams certainly was last week.

Early Tuesday morning, TMZ Sports posted a story, complete with video, of Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger singing to and occasionally holding Williams when the two met at a bar in Scottsdale.

Williams recognized Kroeger and approached him at Bottled Blonde.

"I was like ‘Yo, Rockstar is one of my favorite songs,’ and he just started singing," Williams said at the Suns' media availability on exit day. "That was cool, I’m a big Nickelback fan, so having a chance to meet him was dope."

As Kroeger crooned in the grisly way that only he can and sang the band's biggest hit, "How You Remind Me," Big Sauce covered his face in euphoria.

While the story made the rounds on Twitter, Williams was quick to point out one correction.

"I wouldn’t call it a serenade," he said. "It was definitely just a song. But it was cool. It was a cool experience for sure."

Serenade or not, Williams was feeling it. He began to jump up and down and even sang along, perhaps just lost in the sauce. But he regretted nothing.

"It was the lead singer of a really great band singing a song, like who wouldn’t love that?" Williams said. "So it was definitely in the moment."

The moment happened by chance, as Kroeger had not expected to be performing a mini-concert for a 6-foot-8 NBA player at a Scottsdale club that evening. According to Williams, he had not expected to still be in Scottsdale at all.

"He said his plane was stuck in Phoenix, and he just happened to be around that day, so it was cool," Williams said.

"Cool" was Williams' summary. Others may feel differently. Despite having sold more 50 million albums worldwide, Nickelback has been the subject of scathing and condescending takes from all corners of the internet over the years.

Still, Williams was ready to defend the band. While his music tastes vary greatly, and rap is the staple of his pregame mix, he said sometimes "Rockstar" will slip in there when he's listening on shuffle.

"Everybody has their tastes in music," he said. "I’m not knocking it. I’m a fan, so that’s all I really care about."
