Cavaliers give homeless Internet sensation job, house

If you haven’t seen the video of the homeless Columbus, Ohio, man with the golden radio voice, where have you been?

This video tells the story of Ted Williams, a Brooklyn native with this fantastic voice who fell down the hole of alcohol and drug abuse. It has been sweeping the Internet the past few days.

He wanted a chance — and the Cleveland Cavaliers are giving it to him.

The team has given Williams a full-time job doing voice overs and PA announcing for the team (and other events at the Quicken Loans Arena), as reported by the Cleveland Leader.

And they are giving him a house.

It’s a great story. The Cavaliers will get some good publicity out of it, but what really matters is someone is getting a second chance. And we could all use one of those.

Great story & yes, amazing radio voice. I like to mimmick those cheesy radio voices but this guy definitely has a gift. 'Hats off' to Dan Gilbert and company for this one.

Damn what a voice! Great story and good job posting this, I wish the Cavs the best of luck. And by best of luck, I mean the 1st pick in the upcoming NBA draft.
