I threw a lot of passes out of bounds trying to be like him 🤣
So did he
@@el8233 i was just about to say this
For Real! I think a whole generation of kids did. LoL
Real shi. I tried that off the elbow pass in the game more than a few times. It never worked. And I always got subbed out afterwards 🤦🏽♂️
@@b.o.1951 🤣🤣🤣👍
No slander for this man. Bibby made the kings great but White Chocolate made them fun. Best mix tape out there. No cap
💯“The Greatest Show on Court”
Bibby made the team better but to me White Chocolate made watching the Kings fun. I wasn't a Kings fan, but a J-Will fan for sure.
Bibby was fun too, that’s why Kings fans don’t complain. Kings still play run and gun beautiful basketball with Bibby. Choco is individually flashy but ineffective basketball and fans get frustrated sometimes if he chucks.
He and C-Webb made the Kings an exciting team during their short run. Their 1st playoff matchup with Shaq's Lakers was actually the start of that intense Lakers-King rivalry.
Trippin . Bobby didn’t have shit on J will💯
Yes!!!!! One of the greatest dudes EVER! First time my mom saw him play within 30 seconds of watching him dribble up the court, she goes, “He been playin with the brothas!!” Lmfaoo i’ll never forget that as a kid.
Haha that’s awesome.
Mama knows basketball
@@blender176 i’ll never forget it lol. People dont kno kno how much he shook up the world his rookie season. He was hopping and jumping around down the court, launching 30 footers on the fast break, crazy ass passes, crossing fools, all at a breakneck speed. It was amazing. I said Mom look! And that was her response as soon as he brought the ball up lmao. She knew! “That white boy been playin with the brothas! Ok white boy!” Lmao Nike dropped the ball. They couldve made a White chocolate sneaker that summer and made $100 mill easy. It wouldve been so dope. The summer of 99, all everybody was talkin about was J Will & Vince Carter.
😂 shout out to Moms
Moms say funny stuff watching sports. Lol
Dude is a legend
And he doesn't show face much. This is big
Bird is a legend. It's even his nickname "Larry Legend".
He forsure is a great player but not a legend
@@Ascending11 what's your point, there can only be one white legend? 😂
@@rahmatnaimali9997 You dont have to be in the upper echelon of great players to be considered a legend. Every half decent baskeball fan knows who White Chocolate is, I'd say that entails leendary status.
Spent a whole summer trying to elbow pass cause of this man. Give him his flowers!
Man, me too
This dude had maybe the best court vision I’ve ever seen, he would throw guys open who didn’t even know they were open. He was a pure point guard and definitely different.
Greatest passer ever
That would be steve Nash
Jason Kidd
He had terrible court vision he's not a top passer he was terrible on the +/- but he was entertaining.
@jaee hovaa yeah definitely Nash along with Stockton, magic,jokic, bird all had great court vision.
This dude is a legend. He had everyone's respect back in the day.
no he didn't. frankly he sucked, he was a marginal rotation guy
@@gary6754hater
@@nycsuave85I mean he ain’t lyin💀
Him and Allen Iverson were my 2 favorite players as a kid. Pure entertainment. Remember trying to perfect the elbow pass for hours in the driveway.
Yes
He might not admit it but, as a kid, Jason watched a movie called “The Pistol” that came out in 1991 about a young Pete Maravich. That’s what inspired him to play like he did. His whole style honors the original White Chocolate.
ABOUT FUCKIN TIME SOMEBODY GOT THIS DUDE FOR A SIT-DOWN!!!
Imagine witnessing such unprecedented sauce in that small town in West Virginia at the same time
I can actually say that I have...Born and raised in WV. Both of them played at my alma mater Marshall University in my hometown of Huntington, WV. Ill tell you this....1994-1997 was soo much fun watching Both Jason and Randy do there thing.
If you close your eyes, and listen to the man speak..... If you know you know. He's a real one!
J Will’s style and flair was so unique, there really hasn’t been another pg to come through like him
Dude is hilarious. And a baller. Glad yall got him on the show
J-Will was da most exciting player for me, I’m so happy he won a ring
My favorite NBA players back in the day were Penny of the Magic, the Mavs' Kidd, The Glove in Seattle, and #55 White Chocolate of Sacramento. Still remember him hollering "WHOO" after making a great pass.
Solid list Penny & White chocolate were my favs to watch growing up too
Hell of a list👍🏾
Good list..shame J-Will didn't get his own shoe, the others had dope ones
@@theejkidd Penny's kicks are among the best historically. Fashionable and functional at the same time. Never goes out-of-style.
The elbow pass during all star game and camera catching Lamar Odom in shock during the play was memorable.
Link?
@@TheDapperTrucker just look for it ur on CZcams anyways stop being lazy lmao
@@TheDapperTruckerliterally google elbow pass
Was actually my favorite player growing up. Game was innovative
I am Glad that he got that 1 Ring after his Kings/Sac days!👍💎💯🏀
You had to watch SportsCenter every morning those first few years he played. A human highlight reel
His jersey gotta be in the rafters in Sacramento. A living legend
I had season tickets on the front row for every game he played in Sacramento. He was unbelievable in person. Dude could play.
Dang man. You are so lucky. Was they your family tix? Y’all get special parking too? I always dreamed of courtside. One time I was only like 20 rows up when we played Iverson tho. Maybe I saw u there. That’s crazy to think. Hope u well fam
Someday I want to get courtside kings tix for my kids and family. Kings fans are a family.
@@alienzordfalcon5162 dang man in all seriousness if I still had the season tickets I’d have made sure you got to a game. Back when kings were on top the face value for a courtside seat was just under $400 i can’t imagine what they go for now. I hope you get to experience a game courtside. A couple times I sat at scorers table with Grant before he thought he was a shock jock. The problem with games is most courtside are there to be seen and not true fans. More fans need to be courtside but they’ve made that unaffordable unfortunately.
@@alienzordfalcon5162 my family owned car dealerships in Sacramento without saying to much of who I am because I troll a lot of politicians online lol. Yes we had 2 seats on the floor 4 seats lower level and then a private suite with parking passes and all. It was very cool during their prime. Please I don’t mean this in anyway as a brag I was very lucky. I’d get teased because I was one of the few on floor that would get up cheer talk bad to opposing players. We were under the basket so could talk a lot when on the line. It was a very fun time. Again please don’t take this as me bragging. I hate saying these things because don’t want it to come across bad. Ultimately the tickets were always tax write offs for business so most tickets were given away to different employees and stuff. I miss those days.
@@alienzordfalcon5162 I’ve sent you two nice messages and both CZcams deleted. Yes my family owned some businesses so we had two seats on the floor 4 seats lower tier and a suite. Most tickets usually given away to employees sometimes customers. Back then face value for floor seat I believe was $375 give or take.
One of my favorite players. He had people wanting to catch those Kings games to see his crafty moves.
Cant wait for the whole interview 😂
DuPont High School in the house. Went to school with his older brother,but played pickup with Jason. Watching him play basketball with Randy Moss was amazing
THIS is the main dude who should have been voted to the All star games! Can you imagine the show he would have put on in a game with the best players that didn’t have anything on the line except to entertain….
I definitely worked the behind the back elbow pass because of this guy. I never really heard him talk though. Seems like a nice, cool dude
One of the best ball handlers and passer ever , white chocolate was real . He was one of the biggest stars in that 2000 new wave of ball players
This clip was so entertaining. I need the whole thing. He was like that too. Plus there’s no bigger Randy Moss fan than me.
Gotta love J Will. Such a stand up dude!
Don’t sleep on white chocolate!! Guy had crazy handles and passes
Facts 💯
I cannot wait to see this. Saw him when I took my son to Aau nationals in Florida. And he’s was cool. Signed my sons ball. Well it’s my ball now. But he’s was cool as a fan. And one of the greatest handles ever.
I had a coach in high school that passed along like Jason this was in the 70s his name was Ron Moore he played college ball in Montana
I want the full episode!! This was epic
Still remember the day Kings traded JWill for Bibby. Hurt like hell. This man put Sac on the MAP. Those teams were electric.
He def one of us and 1 that deserves the recognition cause when he played everybody was watching waiting to see his handles and passes 😅
We speak on everybody and never speak on this man Jason Williams. That man was a animal for real, he was so talented
Thanks to this boi I used to get benched like a mf trying elbow passes in games 😭
Best fucking comment. we all did it and got cussed out
😂
One of my top 5 players ever. I love white chocolate and have his jersey. If I ever meet him I will tell him how much he meant growing up and how much entertainment he brought. Probably would get super emotional.
Literally one of the reasons i fell in love with the game. Him, AI, Jamal Crawford, Kobe
I need this full episode NOW! 😂
That DUDE... LEGEND PERIOD💐💯💯💯
Talented players are inducted into the HOF and I applaud for them! However; Gifted players should be recognized because they were born with the ability to be 'Great' at anything! Williams will succeed at anything because he is 'Gifted!'
Jason a national treasure!
Thanks guys for sharing with us your great show.itd always a great pleasure to see former professional athletes chilling and sitting around the same table to discuss and debate everything.i applaud the great job you do to give the players a powerful voice to express their point of view after their sports career.all the smoke so far a podcast pushing for excellence and greatness.great interview guys.keep it like this.much love and support for you.peace and be smart.
man i remember his rookie year he just had me in awe..his bag was so deep most def one of my top players
i felt like i won a chip when he got that ring in miami...they use to drag his name through the mud calling him a cancer because of his style of play.
Ai and j will were my idols growing up. Changed the game. Also got benched a lot from my coaches trying to emulate them 😂
Same 100%
Great interview/discussion I loved when he played for them Miami Heat 🔥
'Bout dang time! I've been waiting for JW on All the Smoke. Looking forward to the full episode of this!
Man, mad respect to Jason Williams. One of my favorite players ever!!! They don't build them like him no more. Salute!
Jason Williams is my top 10 NBA player of all time, always been for 20 somethin' years.. 💐
@3:22 cracked me up as a fellow West Virginian. 100% true lol
Can't wait for full interview.
Representing Culture the right way. Nice compliment
First day of tryouts my sophomore (1994-1995) year I dribbled behind my back and Coach Fout stopped the drill and yelled “There ain’t gonna be another Jason Williams here!” I was cut about a week later from DuPont HS Bball 😂
Thanks for bringing these to CZcams! 🙏🏿
One of the more CREATIVE players to do it. Some of the best highlights too. I'm a big fan of assist/passing highlights and White Chocolate has some of the best.
Happy he got his championship with Miami in 06. 💍
Between him and AI, they made me dribble in the gym and run down court so many times!! No one else in the gym just me but I was just visioning them
White Chocolate is an absolute trail blazer.
Truly one of my Favorite,,, I was blessed to run a few times with him in Orlando RDV
That off the elbow behind the back pass is still the best move I’ve ever seen
Plus the look-away.
I know where you grew up WC. I was born in Huntington and my uncle was a lifelong B-Ball coach at Milton High. I am proud of who you are and all that you have brought to the game. Hope to meet you one day. You are 'Mr Highlight'' in my book.
Truly one of the best! 🏀🏀🏀
this dude was the sauce.. have a feeling nba didn;t want him to blow up.
About time, we only been asking for him since the show started.
Jason Williams elbow pass was iconic
I wish that I could have been at this event. Matt being from Sacramento, man, this is cool. I love J.W. he was crazy good, but like he said, the style of basketball they needed Bibby.
All time favorite. My first game I seen live when he came to grizzlies.
Awesome guys.. awesome..love it..God bless you guys..love n respect..
I’m a huge Sixers fan so AI my all time fave athlete but outside him, J Will was easily my fave player to watch and try to play like
One of my FAVORITE players of All-time. Salute The real J-Will ✌🏿🖤🌅
Love this dude❤ White Chocolate my childhood
Peace & Love,
PLEASE Drop This Show ASAP!!!
I've Been Waiting On One Of My Favorite Players 2 Drop On All The Smoke...It's Here!!!
#JasonWilliams #WhiteChocolate #ATS
Peace & Love!!!
#BLICKET
great great show!
This Man played ball with Randy Moss.. put some Respect on his name..
Everyone was bent but Matt is a pro. He maintains the pace even while sipping.
This was awesome 👌
Yeeeeeeees sir been waiting since episode 1 for this dude. Ooooooooooh yeah
Nobody played like JW! Dude was fun to watch play wherever he was at!
This dude is what I always imagined Randy Moss sounding like and Randy Moss is what I imagined Jason Williams sounding like 😂
He absolutely hit it right in best of both worlds. That acknowledged what is very under valued.
Legend!
Loved that he xferred to UF to be w/Billy D. I was a Gator myself during his era and got the opportunity to play some pickup w/him at Florida Gym. Damn it was fun! Good times.
Great interview, I grew up watching White Chocolate.
J.will def made the game fun to watch fo sho❤❤
My favorite point guard behind iverson. He was awesome to watch. Raw and uncut. A real dog.
White Chocolate & Randy Moss was hella nice in HS!!!
DUPONT PANTHERS BABY! Played with will an randy back in those days at malden elementary ball court. Blessed to be able to say i was there to watch them two become game changers
Man Jason white chocolate williams was the shit when he played with Chirs , Bibby, Valdi, Bobby Jackson, Scott Polar. Sacramento was the shit, and should have win several titles. FACTZ 916%
Loved him in memphis that was my guy!!
He started the pulling up for 3 on the fast break lol. My favorite PG
Great humility and perspective. We need more stories like this being promoted, not another MJ movie
Gotta love those that truly love the game...
Favorite player
To think him and randy moss was on the same H.S. squad.
🏀😬
Bobby Howard was also their age and played on the football team played at Notre Dame and the Bears in the NFL. For three professional athletes to come from a town that small at the same time has to be one in a couple million odds
"Just the good ole boys..."
Bro, seriously. To think that from the same group of 1000 people, it produced Randy Moss and White Chocolate at the same time is a once in a lifetime occurrence
Legendary
One of my fav PGs of all time 🏀
Randy Moss kicking the extra point after (presumably) scoring a touchdown is wild.
before youtube watchn jason williams highlights and crossovers on like napster or sumn was the best thing to do as a kid
