A Surprising Sprint
A short clip that resurfaced in early August shows Katt Williams dashing across a Memphis basketball facility, clocking a 4.47‑second sprint that surprised many viewers.
The comedian later explained that the timing felt sluggish, citing a slick surface and the fact that he was wearing shoes borrowed from a friend.
Williams is in town to take part in the Danny Thomas Celebrity-Am, a charity golf tournament scheduled for August 13 at Chickasaw Country Club, with proceeds directed to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Coach Penny Hardaway, the former NBA star who now leads the Memphis program, was on hand to watch the performance and described Williams as an "amazing person" who embraces challenges beyond his primary craft.
His presence coincides with the broader FedEx St. Jude Championship, which will be held at TPC Southwind from August 13 through 16, a tournament where Williams has previously appeared as a guest commentator.
While the sprint was brief, the episode underscores Williams' continued involvement in Memphis charitable activities, blending entertainment with community support for a cause that has become a recurring theme in his local appearances.
