NBL great Corey 'Homicide' Williams has hit back at Sydney Kings superstar Andrew Bogut claims that he was a stat-chaser during his career.

Bogut, who is averaging 11 rebounds and three blocks a game, took to Twitter and unleashed on Williams following the Kings' narrow win over the Perth Wildcats, but the former Townsville Crocodile said he was unbothered by the former NBA star's shot.

"I'm cool with that because my stuff is going off numbers and the game, he's going personal, that doesn't bother me," Williams said on Overtime.

"When you're a local, you don't have to worry about putting up numbers because you're a local."

The 2010 NBL MVP also insisted that until Bogut figures out how to succeed against Melbourne United big man Josh Boone and Wildcats centre Angus Brandt, the Kings would not win the title.

"My point is he's going to have some trouble if he can't go up against them," he said.

"This is the best big man in the league, lets be clear.

"This is not shots being thrown. Until he outplays those two, they're not going to win a championship."

Williams criticised Bogut for letting Brandt outplay him after Brandt vocally criticised him on radio prior to the Wildcats' clash against the Kings.

"My point is, the man called him, a day before he played him, an idiot," he said.

"Any competitor, when you see this guy who plays your position the next day, what are you supposed to do to that guy? You're supposed to bust his ass, period.

"They match up, and what happens? He gets his ass busted."

Bogut and the Sydney Kings will be looking to turn the tables on Boone and United when they clash on December 23.
