I still think that Jason Williams was one the underrated players in the league. He grew up playing street ball and used some of that skill in the NBA. He wasn't an All Star. Sometimes those passes didn't work. He wasn't a great defender. But he had handles and had unbelievable court awareness. He was fun to watch.

[@TreyM1609]

He did make the Allstar game a few times. The last pass the elbow pass was in the all star game. He also did win a championship with the Miami heat

Fun fact: Jason Williams was classmates with Randy Moss, and NFL Legend and one if the best Wide Receivers ever. Those two are the only notable people in their West Virginia hicktown of 800 people.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

It’s crazy, cause there are towns of 100,000 with few to no notable people. I’m from Kalamazoo, MI & the only truly notable person I can think of from there is Derek Jeter. He played high school baseball with a guy I knew (the guy’s dad was the coach, so he knew him fairly well). Edit: I guess Jason Newsted, From Metallica, was from the area as well, but not Kalamazoo proper. Around 15 miles outside of town.

[@deaj8450]

Rand isn't really as much of a country or backwater place as the population would leave you to believe. It's only about 15 to 20 minutes from Charleston, the capital in West Virginia. So while the town itself is small the surrounding area, especially to the west of Rand, is actually one of the more populated in WV.

[@jeffburdick869]

His ability to find his teammates is due to his incredible offensive awareness. Knowing where your teammates most likely are, even if you can't see them, is a skill developed due to great perceptual awareness and familiarity with those players. Its one of those skills that can't be measured on a track or in a weight room and is at times underrated IMO...in not just basketball, but soccer, American Football, hockey, and others.

[@ivandragomiloff2356]

The Greatest Team and the Greatest Fans to never win a championship 😭 Love the Team and The City! Sacramento Kings for Life!

[@a00141799]

We marveled on this channel a few days ago about the beauty and artistry of hockey as it played by the sports greatest players. This has always been true of basketball.🏀🏀🏀 Jason Williams' style of play perfectly embodies the fluidity, athleticism, vision, flare and showmanship, creativity, and basketball skills all combined to make him on of the most exciting players to watch play this game.🏀🏀🏀🏀 His speed and handles are legendary. He was so fast that defenders had no time to react to whatever he was doing and if you guess wrong he would embarrass you. 😫😫 I've played with guys that didn't have 1/10 of Jason's skill and they were nearly unstoppable. His control of the ball and body control, super fast pace, and vision were jaw dropping. Jason wasn't really big or very tall, he was decently athletic but not explosively athletic, he was a decent shooter and scorer but not prolifically so. He did win a championship in Miami Heat, 🏆🏆 but in my opinion he spent is greatest, and most productive years with the Sacramento Kings. He was "must see TV" back then... every time he touched the ball the odds of something incredible happening was 100%📺📺📺📺📺 Thanks for a giving this guy his props. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It is well deserved.

[@kabirconsiders]

Apparently other facets of Jason’s game (particularly defence) weren’t up to par, but in passing specifically he was unrivalled

[@itsJeremee]

He won a championship in 2006 with the Miami Heat

[@kabirconsiders]

Nice, well deserved!

[@steviehandsome4712]

White chocolate! My favorite player after Jordan left the Bulls. Absolutely dazzling player, JWill. The kings got jobbed by the crooked NBA in 2002 against the lakers. Should have won the championship. That would be a good reaction video in fact. Thankfully JWill earned a championship ring as a member of the ‘06 Heat.

[@Darth_Lunas]

He and Jason Kidd! Amazing!

[@BrockMak]

3:25 Udonis Haslem may now be nothing more than an end-of-bench mentor that should had retired 2 years ago, but he was an undersized rebounder back then. He now holds the active record of 18 seasons with one team.

[@yambo59]

I saw a video about JW and he said he spent countless hours developing his passing by making bulls eyes on a wall with tape and using them as targets for his passing moves, a big part of how he gained such amazing accuracy.

[@paulbooth8516]

“The Food Bank.” “Cause everybody’s eatin today.”

[@mothafraker]

When he made that steak on the ground, he knew Chris Webber was back he didn't know exactly here but Jason knew Chris would get to the ball. Situational Awareness was Jason Williams' greatest skill. All his passes built off of that.

[@Missteresita2252]

That Kings team was fun to watch. Even though they kept losing in the playoffs Sacramento was terrible before that era so it still felt like a win (Kings fans might disagree - they were probably devastated). They weren’t my team but I secretly rooted for them because they were so young and talented.

[@ronluk76]

Check out an interview with him. Explains a lot.

[@Marvello44]

How did he see him? Well on the play where he is on the ground....when they show it in slow motion you can see JDub peek into his peripheral vision before he gained control of the ball. He knew where he was going to pass it before he got possession.

[@yambo59]

Im a huge fan of the 80's Celtics with Larry Bird and they were known for some great passing in that era, but im sorry this guy takes the cake compared to any passing ive seen anywhere by anyone, hes just dead on accurate as well as unpredictable and fast as a cat with its ass on fire. Jason was also known for that astounding elbow pass that only he could do and ive never seen anyone use their own body language so effectively to misdirect others and thread the passing needle, a real legend in elite passing.

[@mrgmusicclass]

He won with the Heat in 06. He was starting point guard. That team was led by D Wade and Shaq. He was very exciting, but wild early on with Kings. Then with Grizzlies, he developed into a very efficient point guard, leading the league in assist-turnover ratio more than once. Then got a ring with Shaq and Wade in Miami.

Williams is playing street ball. You can see this played at a number of NYC parks, most especially at Rucker Park in Harlem and the “cage” in Greenwich Village.

[@monicamcfadden9479]

He had big time skills for sure! BTW that's my nickname WHITE CHOCOLATE... For real no joke..

[@kentgrady9226]

The guy had a ton of natural talent, and was one of the league's most entertaining players ever. His style of play is called "street ball", as it has its origins on public courts common in large American cities. The football equivalent might be ad hoc games in Brazilian favelas. Some coaches, who favored traditional fundamentals and less emphasis on showmanship, found Williams's style to be too flashy and risky/prone to turnover. That perhaps explains why he played for so many teams over the span of his career (4 teams, including 1 team twice, over 14 years). Nevertheless, he was undeniably fun to watch, and in my opinion, underrated in terms of his actual playing quality. The NBA doesn't allow players to hang around for 14 year careers unless they can play.

[@kabirconsiders]

He must have been a real fan favourite! He must’ve always been doing cool/flashy stuff

[@Elevatedzebra96]

eyes on everything at once, not taking risks on his own shots, and he gets off on that adrenaline of pissing the other team off.. I used to do that in soccer as center mid.. I’d even take the hit to clear that ball to forward..

[@jermalcromartiepresents5728]

not taking risks on his owm shots would imply that he shoots at 50% clip not the 39% he averaged for his career.

[@gitchygitchy3106]

White chocolate 🍫 dude was great all around but his passing was NEXT LEVEL

[@georgephillips3625]

Magic Johnson was an amazing passer too.

[@BrockMak]

10:51 Hakeem Olajuwon's knees were done by then. Jason Williams' career ended also with their knees. Williams made his Ice Cube's Big 3 debut in 2017, but re-injured his knees that day and never came back. Until this year (last year was cancelled): That league featured "retired" NBA players, or players that mostly played overseas because they never made it to the NBA.

[@sdw2is]

Take a look at film of Steve Nash and Pete maravich.

[@latin725]

It's a shame that the NBA only remembers the best scorer but they don't remember the best passer, I remember Shaq once says that Williams is an excited and best passer player he ever played with and Chris Webber says that he is best teammate he ever have. I am sure (white chocolate) have eyes on all around the head because the way he passed the ball 🏀 lol 😂
