The NBA Star Who Physically Couldn't Make A Normal Pass

Jason Williams was one of the most exciting players in the history of the NBA. His iconic Elbow Pass, something that no one had ever seen before, stunned hoopers all over the world, a skyrocketed Jason into stardom.
Join me as we dissect how Jason Williams went from living in small town Belle, West Virginia, growing up with future NFL superstar Randy Moss, to attending Florida alongside Billy Donovan, to losing his scholarship, to making the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, their epic battles with the Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers, to his eventual trade to the Memphis Grizzlies, playing under legendary coach Hubie Brown and General Manager Jerry West, to his trade to the Miami Heat thanks to Shaquille O'Neal, then winning the 2006 NBA Championship, to finally rounding out his career with the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzles.
White Chocolate, or sometimes known as the Eminem of the NBA, was truly one of the best passers in NBA history, and his style of play is something NBA fans would love to see return.

Great doc on one of my favorite players. You failed to mention the Kings were cheated out of a trip to the finals by the referee who was throwing games and later went to prison! Yes, I am a real fan of the kings and remember watching that series against the Lakers and saying what gabe are the refs watching? Years later I got redemption.

Jason was Randy’s quarterback when DuPont won the state football title in ‘93. And for good measure, that team also had Bobby Howard, who played LB at Notre Dame and a few games in the nfl. Just a freakish amount of talent there at one time in such a small place.

J-Will it's and will always be one of my favorite players in NBA history. He was an artist, provided fun to the crowd and had such a special talent for passing that I believe, you can only see that kinda style on hoopers that play on the streets but not in NBA anymore.

[@normh151]

I use to have season tickets to the Kings back them, it was so exciting watching them. It really brought the town/city together. Kings became internationally famous back then. Many always felt the Kings were robbed of the Western conference finals wins that could have taken them to the NBA Finals, that was such a scam back them.

[@kxrv6629]

As a Sacramento Kings fan I totally enjoyed the magic J-Will brought with him to the Kings. When he was traded for Bibby I lost track of his career and really appreciate this video for bringing it all together. What a career he ended up having! Thanks

[@genehenson8851]

One of my favorite players of all time. He had such a good head on his shoulders even at at a young age. Def top 10 PG in my book.

[@Tufarock]

I love J Will but with all do respect the top 10? 1. Magic Johnson 2. Steph Curry 3.Isah Thompson 4.Oscar Robinson 5.John Stockton 6.Chris Paul 7.Russell Westbrook 8.Steve Nash 9. Kyrie Irving 10. Walt Frazier I could go on. So who are you taking out those point guards to make room for Williams? He was an exciting player but the top ten is pretty silly

[@wafledonkyproductins]

I have been watching basketball since I was a very young man. My dad and I try to watch every warriors game we can. A few years back, Curry had made an incredible behind the back pass and my dad and I started talking about the greatest passers of all time. When he told me about White Chocolate, I didn't believe him. I've seen so many edits of great passers spanning generations and never once had heard of this white guy on the kings. When I witnessed his highlight reel myself, I was shocked. From that day forward, I have put him in my top 5 all-time passers. I'm glad to see him start getting the recognition he deserves for his creativity and court vision. Absolute deep cut

[@Eddie-p6f4o]

He would be considered one the best in today’s game. Great shooter, passer with amazing handles

[@LogainAblar]

Thanks for posting this video. J Williams definitely deserves to be on the list of top ten point guards to ever play. I spent years as a young man watching this guy and he was always amazing to see. More than once Jason Williams made me think he should have been on the Globetrotters. Some of his passes were simply mind blowing but what was even more impressive which this video illustrates, is Jason's desire and willingness to improve. Not just for himself but for his teammates. Too many great players simply refused to do this. It's great that Jason was able to get a ring before he retired too. Truly an excellent player.

I always thought Jason Williams was so underrated. I would put him in my top 10 PGs, surely one of the best passers ever. I’d put him at #10. Sure his stats aren’t great but it’s his skills that were so elite. He was unlucky mostly as he played vs elite teams like Stockton/Malone Jazz, Kobe/Shaq Lakers, Duncan/Robinson Spurs, etc. But glad he got his ring.

[@kingassyo6043]

[@Cannon4545]

His highlights are wild... but if you take a look at his actual stats, it's not even close to top 100.

[@gregoryboehm7090]

White Chocolate is the truth. The man is always humble & when someone try's to give him credit Jason always makes sure his teammates get it as well making him a real class act. I have no problems with J-Will being in the top 10 because of his skill set, unselfish play style, 1 of only 3 NBA players to play the game with the streetball style play successfully that I know of plus he is an NBA champion. The only other 2 are Allen Iverson & LaMelo Ball. Jason Williams said in an interview Rafer Alston could have done what he did probably better unfortunately for Rafer he was handcuffed by his coach not allowing him to play like that. I remember that NBA Championship Miami Heat Vs Mavericks like it was yesterday. I live in DFW and went to game one of Dallas home games with terrible seats. We were devastated by the loss but since Jason Williams got a ring it made it tolerable. Not to take anything away from the Heat, but the truth is the truth the NBA commissioner and Mavericks owner at each other's throat because they couldn't control Mark Cuban who said and did as he pleased. When it looked like the Mavs were going to run away with the finals suddenly the officiating just flip flopped with every call going the other way no matter how blatant it was didn't matter the more obvious the better to make an example out of Cuban you get out of line it will cost you big. Ask Mark Jackson when he openly admitted the NBA cheats by the use of official's whistle, and the Commissioner slapped him with an enormous fine & suspended him. We would see this exact scenario repeat with Jeff Vangundy and the Commissioner made a side note concerning him that if he did it again, he would be suspended permanently. When people say the refs cannot change the outcome of a game haha shit they can tilt the balance the other way easily just ask the Mafia who had at least 3 NBA refs in their pockets in the early 2000s fixing games raking in a fortune for them until they got busted being too greedy.
