Dallas Mavericks: Deron Williams Off the Court Hobby

As the Rio Olympics have officially come to an end, Deron Williams shares a little of what he loves about one of the returning sports to the summer games.

The 2016 Rio Olympics have ended and with it, the first Olympic medals in golf in over 100 years. Despite many of the best golfers in the world electing to bypass the Rio games due to fear of disease and poor conditions in Brazil, the results were a huge success and a fun tournament.

Justin Rose ended with the Gold, Henrik Stenson with the Silver, and Matt Kuchar snagged the Bronze. This was a monumental moment for golf and fans all over were excited to see it back in the Olympics.
