[@marvinnorman9236]

He's a real dude glad to see him put his life back together

[@RidyRed]

Shoutout to Jayson Williams's father for trying his best to keep his son in line!

[@DIGGY_DUBAI]

This guy is soooooo down to earth bless you brother we have all had some downfalls glad you are smiling!!!!!1

[@Dominion-1]

Jay started off telling stories then it got into confession & redemption. * You can see the pain in his eyes even when he laughs. I'm glad Flex let him speak even if he appeared to ramble at times. I think it's cathartic for Jay to talk about it.. * Jayson, God forgave Moses for commenting manslaughter and He also has forgiven you. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1:9. * peace.

[@SBN3vids]

This is the best interview in the history of 97

[@702pow]

soulbrothanumbuh3 word!! And I don't even know this guy

[@clsupreme7408]

soulbrothanumbuh3 Nore interviews > everyone

[@cy0514]

Great job Jason for passing on blessings and you will conquer your addiction and adversaries!!

[@lavery0365]

Jason Williams truly HAS a testimony and what's even better is that he seems to have found his ultimate passion, he's good, and most importantly, he's GENUINE. Much respect for Jason, keep up the good work, & FLEX, let a person talk a little while before you interrupt, you can ask a question but throughout this entire interview you were stopping Jason's fastbreak. Lol

[@queenofhearts2013]

Watched the whole interview.Watched his other videos.He’d got my full attention.Fixing to watch another video.This is an amazing man,who is confident enough to admit and own up to his mistakes.❤️💕🥰

[@3rdwardbeatz]

He used to do commentary for the NBA once he stop playing..this dude said Live on the air don't waste your money on drugs put it into the bank & smoke the Interest..lmao lol I will never forget that line cuz I do that still to this day thanks for the advice j.w.

[@reneehicks4629]

I was following Jayson since he was playing for the 76ers bc I’m from Philly. I read his first book which was before the accident. I always thought he was a nice guy who lost his way.

[@derekjewell4388]

This hit home for me. Touched me deeply in so many ways. I felt the pain all through this interview 😢 I felt all the emotions !! Thankful for triumph!!

[@chick-fil-agal2264]

Yes, this was a powerful interview.

[@_educatedgenius]

Best flex interview by far.

[@bksleepy1276]

God bless Jason Williams on of the nicest people

[@localone1597]

He was about to have a tv career. His personality was like Inside the NBA but before those guys. Its obvious that incident still haunts him.

[@binta31]

So great to see Jayson. Great interview!

[@bugzysegal3172]

I swear I've never watched a whole interview until now. I barely can watch a 10min video, but this was GREAT! Gotta look JW camp up, there's many ppl in our world need abdication help.

[@803Godson]

Dope. I love a great comeback story. God bless

[@marcie101080]

[@803Godson]

[@ianrussellallcaps]

Go back and watch cribs he was ballin back in the day before the case ... He was a good basketball player in the 90s .

[@BigTash]

this was a great interview with Jason Williams. he was a nice player which had a tragic accident mess him up a bit but he was able to use his life experience and change his life. some parts of this interview had me hollering laughing.

[@s.o4917]

Stacy Tasha Roach I would have you hollering

[@tiwannamincey]

God bless you Jayson Williams! I pray that you stay on this positive journey. Great Interview Flex!

[@tldatroof]

This interview is all over the place but I liked it because it had the feel of just a regular conversation as opposed to talking points and leading questions

[@Dare2BeDifferent34]

incredible story teller

[@Agray321One]

this was a great listen jayson williams needs a podcast fr fr

[@814fat]

GREAT INTERVIEW. .

[@Bleek17Six]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yo This guy had the funniest stories man one of the best interviews I've ever witnessed

[@marquesalston9227]

Agreed

[@1Butterfly404]

Bleek Cartier, Agreed!

[@Clomotey1]

Great content the streets need a place like this great job jayson

[@SouthpawLD]

Jason always been a good dude!! Solid

[@cashrulez101]

Love Jason energy from day 1. Never thought less of him battling his issues. Good to see him using his situation to help others.

[@kennykenny757__]

GREAT INTERVIEW! man, that jail /cell phone story had me in tears 😂😂😂 but in all seriousness I'm glad he got a chance to tell his side of that tragic situation.

[@teejay6058]

DMX needs to attend Jason treatment center

[@702pow]

Respect to dude,if they didn't talk sports I'd think he was a slept on comedian he funny and I respect his grind.

[@Powerule23]

"And who knew dude that played ball for the NBA, would make a mistake on 'Who Knew Estates' and throw it away..." Seriously, though, met dude in '98 - he was even funnier and more down to earth in person. Crazy how one really bad mistake within a blink of an eye can sink your life for a minute. Props to him for getting back to this point in life.

[@christopherayettey4390]

That's HOV

[@H.I.M.100]

Classic. Well done guys! Bravo

[@md3dasnipa386]

Great Interview muxh respect to the brother Jayson Williams.

[@blkqbano78]

That Country voice he got is HILARIOUS! Great interview!

[@stephenjohnson8261]

When he impersonates his dad sounds like Thurgood from the PJ's

[@masco2483]

Or the father from Nutty Professor

[@urbanradionation]

It might be random but it's interesting. Jayson Williams is a natural in front of the camera. No wonder he was so good on the pregame NBA on NBC studio shows. Then that shooting incident happened. Good to see that he bounced back.

[@SmileUp4]

I never heard of this guy - but yo, he's funny as f*ck!!! Shout out to his dad

[@nephewandunk9974]

Jason seems like he was a good dude who lost guidance without his dad

[@savVaLaza]

One of the best interviews

[@Jerricette]

I am dying here! Jayson needs to have his own comedy show!

[@queenofhearts2013]

I agree

[@scottriggins9174]

Jay is real! Great interview!! I pray God continues to work through him to make people aware of how fast it can all go wrong. The other thing that is real about this interview, is his relationship with his Dad, EJ!!! A lot of love there!

[@tripleplatinum2485]

Jay is a good dude. Salute!

[@jeffwashingtonjr4997]

He sounds like Richard Pryor in "which way is up" imitating his father

[@Etnad85]

Jeff Washington Jr 😂😂😂😂

[@goolag6536]

Jay is a cool dude...Was on Rikers with him in 2011 2012....Mad humble.

[@bahapanties]

Jaysons funny as he'll. Should have a podcast. 😆

[@njdiabeticteststripbuyerso6425]

Great story & great guy.

[@BiGGCaiN24]

Lmao I wish I could've met Jayson Williams dad. He seemed hella funny. Only 16mins & this is a great interview

[@forbes82leah]

[@elmerellis2339]

Best interview 💯✔️

[@danielrobinson9270]

So sad that he killed the driver accidentally but it was an accident and God knows your his heart. Jayson will be alright. God will walk with him.

[@legion1630]

Very honest opinion

[@mw-ys1qq]

So what trying to hide it was a bitch move by a Brest fed man

[@DrDeese]

Super like this interview, I even sent it to my momma. More of these! #realpeople

[@pettysmithlll8528]

very informative interview great job hot 97

[@kvn1718]

Good to see j will... great interview and a lot of good info dropped. If you paid attention

[@music7307]

I was getting ready to say Flex wasn't annoying in this video, but then I listened to the whole thing

[@kekesmooth5618]

Yo this interview is funny as hell!!

[@theblackbanter5242]

The truth needs no explanation and lies have no excuses. Information. Atonement is real.

[@Boelle.]

I just want to hug him

[@ray1411]

I wish I could've met his pops. His pops was OG Pimping for real.

[@jrufus11]

What a dude

[@omarscruggs7471]

this is the first interview in about 5 years that Funk Flex didnt annoy the hell out of me. still annoying but way less than usual

[@castolano]

If you aint old enough you can't feel this interview this was the biggest case after OJ'S

[@him1703]

No way

[@rayfreeman8499]

One of the greatest rebounders of all time top 10 easily

[@rebelliontv3379]

Great interview

This was such a great interview. I could speak with Jason and incredibly not talk about NBA basketball.

[@3ddiagnosis654]

Good job and nice interview.

[@westcoastvibes250]

Someone tell this man to do a podcast him and Barkley would be best podcast on the net

[@thegodinhere]

[@tyleraspinall7845]

looool the way flexs head backs just hanging out of the snapbacks got me creasinggggg XD loool

[@ilovethisgame4518]

What a nice guy #respect

[@abbie4949]

Addiction is life & death problem, that is a medically diagnosed disease, in the DMS 5 (5th Edition Diagnosis & Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders). It has about 30 symptoms. Not everyone has all 30, I have about 28, and if I would have kept on using, I probably would have gotten all 30 You can't bring your friends with you b/c they trigger each other. It took me a year after being in recovery before I could go hang out with one of my best friends....and she understood, we didn't even discuss it, it was just known. She didn't have no attitude, or anything, unconditional love & a true friend.

[@BLESSFOREVER]

GOD BLESS YOU JAYSON

[@rodrickgrayson6506]

Beautiful brother

[@luvbug2517]

Jayson Williams lived in 275 Cherry Street lower eastside for many years and after he left his mother stood there for a lot of years after. Great Family...

[@mroctober8269]

Sounds like Eddie Murphy doing a funny voice

[@charmcityclassic6068]

Flex did well with this interview but have to admit it felt uncomfortable at some moments. I can tell Williams struggles with some of the decisions that he made.

[@pauldini5121]

Jayson williams one of the coolest guy ever

[@gloglizz456]

Did he just out Dolan! LMAO This interview is a instant Classic. Best Flex interview EVER IMO. Flex wasn't even irritating this time around either.
