*Hey guys be made out look so easy because he literally practiced those passes for HUNDREDS of hours.Ever since he was a kid he practiced those passes against a wall over & Over & OVER again.He was AMAZING!!!*
Randy Moss (NFL Reciever all timer) was his high school basketball teamate. Moss was a freak highlight reel in the NFL. Incredible they played together in high school.
Randy was Mr. Basketball for the state of West Virginia...
Yes, this is the lesser of the two basketball talents.
@@phunkjnky randy moss wouldn't have been half as great in the NBA as he was in the NFL.
@@RonnieG Ok, but seeing as how he didn't play past high school. it really doesn't matter. Facts are facts. In 1995, Randy Moss was Mr. Basketball in the state of West Virginia. He had a teammate that went to the NBA. End of story.
That's fucked up I had no idea!
yea watched a interview of j wil. he said randy knew he had to pick one sport for college and decided to go with football. just a all around great athlete. curious what he woulda have been like if he had decided to pursue basketball.
16:44 Jason did a segment with The Professor a few years back teaching The Prof how to do that incredible "elbow pass." The dude is retired but he's still got it.
They showed another replay of it at the end but they paused the video early 😢 amazing pass, legendary player
I grew up in the area Jason Williams played high school ball. Jay Will played with Randy Moss at Dupont High. My family was involved with that school in that era, proud to have witnessed some greats at a very young age.
i’m not far from dupont and about everyone out here tells stories of them
Yup my gym teacher was a teacher there at that time
Hearing any interview with Jason Williams & Randy Moss I enjoy just hearing them talk, that Appalachian accent is so cool
They were and still are grey
Good reaction, guys. And btw, there were THREE players named Jason (or Jayson) Williams playing around the same time. This Jason Williams who played for Sarcramento....the Jason Williams who played for the NJ Nets (and who was involved in the accidental shooting of the chauffeur)....and Jason Williams who played for the Chicago Bulls, and was a rookie of the year candidate, but seriously tore up his knee in a motorcycle accident in the Summer after his rookie year. That JWilliams (Chicago Bulls) is currently an on-air NBA analysts with ESPN etc.
Also, many players were just as electric passers as Jason Williams (Sacramento Kings). There was 'Pistol' Pete Maravich (1970s)....Magic Johnson....Larry Bird...Rajon Rando etc.
The legendary ELBOW PASS!
There were 3 Jason Williams. 1 spelled it Jayson. J Williams was out of Duke and went to the Bulls but had his career ended by a bad motorcycle accident. Hes an analyst for the NBA now. You see him on ESPN. The other one was a F for the Nets.
The forward with the Nets, was the one Dazz was thinking of. He shot his Driver with a shotgun and killed him and was sent to prison.
@@gregorywilliams1308he also admitted that he contemplated committing suicide after getting destroyed by Larry bird so it was known that he wasn't a stable person
"White Chocolate" Jason Williams!! You guys did a vid about nba streetball players a while back, Jason Williams should and would definitely be one. I loved watching him play with the Kings, they were real contenders if it wasn't for the Kobe-Shaq lakers. Being from Memphis, I was really excited when he played for Memphis.
That Kings team was made up of some great ball-handlers, passers, and floor runners. Not many people realize what a great play maker Divac was as a big man...and Weber too! They all just clicked so well together!
the ultimate highlight player, unfortunately he had a lot of turnovers and was a below average shooter but he will never be forgotten
lol I always wondered that about the amazing passers in the sport. Some of them are no doubt risky so ya gotta imagine there were sometimes turnovers
That’s the gamble with guys like these, gotta be willing to accept the bad to get the good. Risky players like that ya gotta be willing to be fine with the odd turnover
At least he got his ring with Miami. Think he was 3rd leading scorer for Miami, their championship season.
To be fair to him he really didn't turn the ball over all that much. He averaged 6 assists to just 2 turnover per game for his career. His best season was 8.3 assists and 2.2 turnovers per game.
He didn't have "a lot" of turnovers. He had fewer turnovers a game than Magic, quite a few less actually. Fewer than Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, John Stockton, James Harden, Steph Curry and so on... Yeah, Williams not only didn't have "a lot" he was actually a really safe ball handler. You might want to at least look things up before commenting.
You guys need to do a Magic Johnson best pass highlights.
Steve Nash too
The countries that don't know about American sport history should. From front to back. Jason was nice but, wasn't the first or only one so he is classed as one of the greatest showman.
John Stockton and pistol Pete too
Jason Williams is as "street" as it gets. Can def pull up to any pickup game in the city and get respect. True baller
That’s kinda the difference between J Will and Euro guys like Rubio and even Doncic. J Will can play in LA, Chicago, Oakland, Philly, DC, etc and respect. Rubio and Doncic wouldn’t be able to handle the situation and end up getting touched. Would be too much for them and there’s no way out lol
Edit: Doncic would fight to the end and end up getting respect. He’d take the long route lol and respect to him for doing so. But them boys in the street are gonna make him prove it.
You prove it to those guys, you got a lifetime pass and respect
"Rubio and Doncic wouldn’t be able to handle the situation and end up getting touched."
good joke@@johndombroski9067
@@johndombroski9067 to me, the difference is more obvious with other PGs like steph curry or lamelo ball. Those are rich kids from the coast.....
I was 12 when Williams came in the league and a lifelong Kings fan. Before him, we were the joke of the NBA. Then, in one off-season, we put together J-Will with Chris Webber and Vlade Divac. We lost our first game that year, but it was apparent that we suddenly had one of the most electrifying teams in the league. That year, we made the playoffs for only the 2nd time in 14 years. Within a couple of seasons, P. Diddy was performing at Woodstock wearing a Williams jersey, and everyone knew who the Kings were.
Williams had his flaws. He turned the ball over a lot, and he had a tendency to pull up for 30-foot 3-pointers at a very poor rate. They didn't go down often, but when they did, it absolutely brought the building down. Strictly speaking, he wasn't the best point guard we could have had, but he was the point guard that we needed at the time. He put Sacramento basketball on the map. Before J-Will, we were known (and not by very many people) for being the capital of Sacramento. After J-Will, we were known by anyone with a TV for being the home of the Kings.
We eventually traded him after a few seasons for a more fundamentally sound point guard, and we went on to have our best seasons in the Sacramento era. The 2002 team is widely considered to be one of, if not the, best team in NBA history to not win a title, after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in 7 games. It became a huge scandal after one disgraced NBA ref who had went to prison on sports betting charges publicly stated the league had fixed game 6 of the series in LA's while the Kings were in position to win. This was apparently done because of the revenue that would be generated for the league by a 7 game series, as the Sacramento-LA rivalry was the premier attraction in the early 2000s NBA. We'll never know, but the winner of the Western Conference Finals was considered the de facto NBA champion, as no one in the Eastern Conference stood a chance against Sacramento or LA that year. The Lakers went on to sweep the Nets in 4 games in the NBA Finals.
Not for a reaction but check out the Nike commercial with Randy Moss and Jason Williams (high school basketball teammates).
And yes, Jayson Williams from the Nets who, after he retired and was an analyst, went to jail after an accidental shooting of his limo driver. I think jail time was a lot for the cover-up. There was also Jayson Williams who was a top pick out of Duke but got injured in a motorcycle (?) accident and it ended his career.
The third ones name is Jason but yes
To be fair they always call him Jay do its understandable to think its spelled Jayson like the one from the Nets.
It still blows my mind that he played on the same team in high school as Randy Moss. A lot of ridiculous alley-oops between that duo (and yes, Moss was almost as good at basketball as he was football)
Did you know Moss was supposed to go to FSU and if he had stayed committed theyd have had him AND Peter Warrick on the same team? Imagine what if lol
Pistol Pete was the only guy with passes that flashy, but that was 30 years earlier!!
There was a Jason Williams who was a top prospect coming out of Duke. He got into the NBA and crashed on a Motorcycle. Now he's an analyst
One of my all- time favorite players
I watched this whole video waiting for 16:46 pass. What an iconic pass.
I grew up in Martinsburg W.V... Ask Jason and Randy about that State Championship L. DOGS! Still have NOTHING but respect and LOVE for them. LOVE Randy's HOF speech. W.V.!
The player for the New Jersey Nets spells his name JAYSON Williams. Yes, that is the one involved in the shooting. He was found guilty of "aggravated assault" and served only 2 years and 3 months in prison. He was also involved in several other incidents throughout his career... bar fights, DUI etc..
Weber, Williams, Stojaković, and Divac was such an epic team. Im surprised they didnt do better. They were amazing to watch.
You can't beat Lakers and refs
@@ObelixCMMlol especially the refs
@@ObelixCMMLakers, Jazz, Spurs... all better teams than the Kings.
@@notmyrealname1730 Utah barely made playoffs and Lakers needed refs to win. Just Google Lakers Kings and first result is 2002 game 6 fixed
Weber dunking on everyone lol
The Elbow pass was GOAT PASSING
A big key to his one-handed passing is that when he dribbles, he brings the ball up a little higher than most players. So at any given time he can release it. Defenders don't know if he's going to put it back down and keep dribbling or what.... Normally players will dribble low to make it harder for defenders to steal...but when they bring it up to passing height defenders recognize that instantly. With Jason you can't tell because he dribbles high all the time.
Try "Jason Williams streetball moves" to see the complete package. They said he used to spend hours in the gym by himself and never take a shot. He'd tape an X on the wall as a target and practice crazy passes and make up new dribble moves.
Fellas this era of kings basketball was so amazing.. I think it was maybe early 2000s but they had so many playoff battles with the Kobe Shaq lakers that in my opinion were some of the best series ever.. Divac, Peja, Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, turkiglu. If the lakers weren’t so good they could have had multiple championships.
Yes! Been patiently waiting for this one!!!
When he did the elbow pass it was all anyone talked about for months
this is back when the point guard position was more about facilitating more than scoring
Jason Williams and Jayson Williams, the latter being the host of espn shows and the bulls guard who retired early due to a motorcycle crash
Jason Williams will always be to me the perfect example of how highlight reels can really fool people. Some have compared him to Magic or Pistol Pete, but if you look at his actual career stats, they are just average at best. Granted, being "average" in the NBA still means you are a resounding success relative to 99% of all aspiring athletes, so I'm not hating on the man. I have a lot of respect for anyone that even makes it into the league.
“A Courtship of Rivals” amazing magic Johnson and Larry bird documentary. Definitely needs to be on this channel
I've watched your reactions b4 & hit like but forgot to subscribe. I'm glad you randomly popped up again after a LONG time. Subbed.
Arthritis Sabonis was the best passer for a big guy I ever saw play.
Love that you guys review American sports, teams, etc.. It's wonderful
There were actually three Jason Williams. One played for the Bulls and very early in his career had a motorcycle accident which killed his career.
Trust me some Manu Ginobili highlights never fail. If you liked this then you gotta check him out as well.
Grant Napier was a commentating legend on the mic in Sacramento for 30 years. He has a podcast now
Allen iverson is my favorite player of all time. White chocolate opened my eyes to some crazy unselfishness. I don’t think he made passes harder than needed. I think he just had such a free flow to his game that whatever was given to him, he’d take. You play up on him in the mid range off a pick and roll, he’s finding a cutter. You go under the screen, he won’t be afraid to hit the mid range. The behind the back off the elbow pass is iconic and it didn’t even go in.
He was nicknamed "white chocolate". You're seeing why - he was a phenomenal passer.
Jason Williams said he used to tape a box on the wall in the basketball gym and just for hours practice hitting behind the back passes into that box.. said he probably practiced it for hundreds of hours
That's why he was not a cornerstone player as flashy as his passes were he would pass up shots or not put up as many shots due to him trying to get assist. As you see he bounced from team to team a lot.
4 teams in 12 years isn’t bouncing around from team to team a lot.
@@abducteeofearth1703 First of all he was on Five different teams, and secondly it was a lot back in those times, today it's nothing.
@@LukaDonesnitch
He was on the Memphis Grizzlies twice.
4 teams. 3 years per team. Not bouncing from team to team.
@@abducteeofearth1703 You're thinking of it as playing for the same franchise, I'm thinking of it as playing with a new team (teammates) so technically it does count as a different team.
• Sacramento Kings (1998-2001)
• Memphis Grizzlies (2001-2005)
• Miami Heat (2005-2008
• Orlando Magic (2009-2011)
• Return to Memphis (2011)
To me that's a new team, so I'm not sure what your debate is.
@@LukaDonesnitch
My debate is that the Memphis Grizzlies and the Memphis Grizzlies are the same team.
Also, playing for 4 teams in 12 years is not in any way “bouncing from team to team.”
He likes to set his teammates up for good shots as all point guards should do. What’s better? A floater by the pg or a dunk by the pf or c?
Pgs are supposed to pass up on good shots for them to get great shots for their teammates.
Since you guys appreciate passing. I'd highly suggest Steve Nash and Jason Kidd. Both excellent passers.
Jayson Williams is the one that played for the Nets. He was giving a tour of his house when he pointed a shotgun at his limo driver(he was just probably messing around but when you mix alcohol and guns…) and killed him. Then he tried to cover it up.
There were many great passer before Jason Williams. As one of the comments listed Ervin Magic Johnson. He was one of the few to play all positions in a game.
Taken straight from Wikipedia about the incident with *Jayson Williams*
Assault conviction
On February 14, 2002, 55-year-old limousine driver Costas "Gus" Christofi was shot and killed at Williams's estate in Alexandria Township, New Jersey.[12] Christofi had been hired to drive Williams's NBA charity team from a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, event to his mansion, about 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Trenton, New Jersey. Members of Williams's NBA charity basketball team were present at the scene. The New York Post reported that Williams was aiming a shotgun at Gus, while giving a tour of his 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) home when he fired the weapon, killing Christofi.
In April 2004, Williams was acquitted of the more serious charges against him, but the court's jury deadlocked on a charge of reckless manslaughter. He was convicted on four counts of trying to cover up the shooting.[13]
On April 21, 2006, a Hunterdon County appeals court ruled that Williams could be retried on a reckless manslaughter charge stemming from the shooting death of Christofi.[14][15] The court repeatedly delayed the retrial for a series of reasons, such as the State's 2008 appeal of a ruling relating to prosecutorial misconduct at the first trial.[16]
On January 11, 2010, Williams pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.[17] On February 23, 2010, he was finally sentenced to 5 years in prison with possible parole after 18 months.[18] Williams was subsequently moved on April 19, 2011,[19] to Rikers Island to serve an additional 1-year sentence for a DWI,[20] of which he served 8 months and was released from custody on April 13, 2012.[20][21] On the entire experience, Williams said in a 2012 interview with ESPN: "…I truly don't want to see anybody cause any more pain to anybody. And I don't want to see anybody in a cage, man. Everybody thinks they're so tough and they can go to jail. I've never seen a newbie go to jail and not cry the first two months every night, scream and have to get suicide prevention in front of his cell." Relating specifically to the shooting incident, Williams went on to say "I struggle with the loss of lives. The loss of Mr. Christofi and the loss of my father. An hour doesn't go by that I don't think about [the accident], think about how can I replay this as to bring back Mr. Christofi. And not one person died that night, two people died. My dad had never been in the hospital in 70 years. That's the ripple effect."[22]
Jason Williams is one of those guys with a better highlight reel than career
well, he did play in the NBA. You still doing CYO or AAU gams????
I grew up learning to pass like him and emulating his deceptiveness the best I could. This whole video I was waiting for the elbow pass. Practiced that one so much but never came organically for me in a game
I think Jason saw what Byrd had done with creative passing during his time and carried the practice foward.
Jason Williams went to high school with Randy Moss.. yes! NFL's Randy Moss. Both played on their schools basketball team.
My all time favorite player.
One of my favorite players growing up. Always had him on my team anytime I played an NBA video gamenfrom back in the day. Lol
Jayson Williams did play for the Nets. He had a party at his house and was drunk and he shot and killed his limo driver. He didnt mean to kill the guy but he was being an idiot and pointing his rifle at people.
There are great passers in NBA history but Jason is set apart from them all, in my book, because he was not just a great passer but a willing passer. He always involved his teammates.
Great showman on the court and a down to earth likeable guy off the court. He lives in the same neighborhood as my sister so I have gotten the privilege of talking to him when he comes over.
JDub!!! I was in high school when he played and I can definitely confirm that all of us were trying his passes during pickup games. White Chocolate was/is loved by everyone.
Jayson Williams aka white chocolate.
Jason Williams (Nets- gun incident)
Jason Williams- survived motorcycle crash which ended his career.
Jason Williams aka The Junkyard Dog.
When J-Will gives you a spinning behind the back bounce pass..... You better make that shit!
This Jason Williams and the Nets with the gun one. Totally different people. lmao
I read his book in high school and it's definitely worth a read. Same with Josh Hamilton's book (former MLB all-star who struggled with hard drug consumption)
I can see the influence of Larry Bird there. Of course, Jason has taken it to a whole new level.
If you’re looking for another good passer, Rajon Rondo probably fits the bill. Basketball IQ off the charts, one of my fave players ever.
There have been (off the top of my head I can think of 3) at least 3 Jason Williams that played in the NBA. White Chocolate, Jayson WIlliams (go down his rabbit hole it's kinda interesting) and another Jason Williams that got into a nasty auto accident that ended his career.
Another cool thing about Jason Williams him and Randy Moss one of greatest wide receivers. Played on the same high school team in West Virginia
Anyone like him? See "Pistol" Pete Maravich--Jason clearly watched some of the Pistol's highlights. The videos of his practice routines are also eye opening. The Pistol averaged 44 points/game while in college at LSU!
i recommend you react to :
*Jason Williams' 45 BEST PLAYS |*
EVEN BETTER!
JWill is the epitome of two things, a point guard, who is the general of the court AND to make sure his team eats, which is why he doesn't shoot much and also street ball play. The stuff they call street ball today is TRASH compared to what they used to do back in the day. White Chocolate was a nickname he truly earned. Playing in high school with Randy Moss all the way up to his pro career, he was flashy, BUT deadly accurate and calculated. The only others that made it to the NBA from street ball was Rafer Alston aka "Skip To My Lou" and Steve Francis aka The Franchise. Both had to calm their games down for the NBA cause they got called for too many violations. JWill, just cruised on through.
-Daz, you're thinking about Jayson Williams who played for the Nets and had the gun conviction of shooting a limo driver.
There was also jayson Williams that played in Chicago that went by jay when he got to the nba
jason playing the beautiful game while everyone else playing basketball. also you might''ve been thinking of jason kidd in new jersey
Jason only played on one Championship team... the 2006 Miami Heat, with All-Stars- Shaquille O'Neal, Dewayne Wade, Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning.
The Jason Williams from the Nets I think was drunk at his house with friends. He was showing off his guns & his “accidentally” shot his limo driver .
He could score he truly just loved playing like this.
I was in high school the same time Jason and Randy moss were at Dupont. I went to George Washington high school in the same area and we played against them. They were in a class above everyone thru their careers.
Was it obvious that both or one of them would be a pro ? Or where they just really good for HS guys ?
This dude has the best passing highlights ever. Better than Magic, better than Bron.
A father and son laughing about a t bag is pure gold
I remember it was said that Wiliams could curl the ball around defenders lol.
...at last, JASON WILLIAMS!!!!
Magic Johnson & Pete Marovich! Passing wizards before Jason Williams time
The original "Professor". White Chocolate!
Pistol Pete Maravich is the original showtime player. Still has the college Scoring record but his ball handling and creativity were years ahead of the game. He as a basketball-aholic too. Lived and breathed it.
nah blud was trash
I hope youre just trolling..@@Justvibes82
Y'all should watch the highlights of his best plays which features a bit of his"ankle breakers" and scoring mixed in with the passes. Saw a comment below about a high turnover rate which I don't know whether or not is true, but I do know the Heat won an NBA Championship with him.
He did that behind the back to the elbow pass a couple of times.
I have a video on my channel from back when I filmed basketball games for my school where one of my buddies did one of those behind the back passes during a game. The gym went nuts when he did it, but got even louder when the other guy nailed the three. My jaw hit the floor 😂! He later told me that he noticed me and a legendary sports reporter from our state filming at the same spot in front of him and he did it for our camera, but I don't totally believe him
Jason Williams is a good, classy guy.
In the NBA, he was like the Kyrie Irving of his day: one of the best passing slashers with great handles and a solid jump shot who couldn't really do anything else well and cost his team games as often than he helped win them. Which is a shame, because, like Irving, he was really fun to watch (on offense). He was more reliable and much less toxic than Irving is and Irving is more clutch than JWill was, but otherwise they are practically the same player, but in different eras.
You guys should do Rajon Rondo best passes
Magic and Pistol Pete do insane passes. Jokic right now sometimes do
A few fun facts on J Will.... he practiced with ankle weights on his wrist to speed up his passes. He looks small but he's 6'1". In high school he played basketball with Randy Moss...yes, the NFL star. They were teammates for 3 years.
6'1" is small...for the NBA
The yelling you hear isn’t J will it’s his teammates. Players screech or make noise if they’re open so their teammate notice
This dude was RANDY MOSS’ high school qb and you can tell
Steve Nash was Jason Williams if Jason Williams could do anything other then pass and handle. Check out Steve Nash highlights with the Suns dude was phenomenal and was a 2x NBA MVP.
The Most Exciting Voice In Sports History: Gus Johnson's Greats Calls by RS Highlights is a great video that shows some of the best college plays in history. I highly recommend it
The closest we got to another Williams was Steve Nash
Dude was a highlight reel passer, but otherwise middling. Only 5.9 assists per game for his career. Never made an all-star team. Don't get me wrong, I love the highlight reel.
J was the man my boy is nice period has some great highlights.....
Jason Kidd is currently coaching the Dallas Mavericks.
His teammates ALWAYS had to be looking for the unexpected pass.... Or they get embarrassed for missing it or having it bounce off their face.
Ok so I’ve seen you guys do a few on Jason Williams, but do one in randy moss, and no imagine both those guys on the same high school team 🤯
I consider Jason Williams one the best passers in the NBA EVER. I would dare to say even better the Magic, Stockton, Bird, Pistol Pete Maravich
You need to see the God father of passing of basketball who started all that !! Also a great score point player !! Great name pistol Pete !!
John Stockton was a GREAT passer a 3 pointer
