Today he is celebrating his 48th birthday., but we still see from time to time his exploits carried out on various terrains in the United States. Nicknamed “White Chocolate”, Jason Williams has in any case remained in the hearts of NBA fans thanks to his inimitable flair on the basketball courts, particularly in his debut in Sacramento.
His duo with Chris Webber was one of the most spectacular in the league. With his Pete Maravich vibes and And1 Mixtape-style streetball overtones, Jason Williams stood out in the Big League.
In this clip, we rediscover some of the playmaker’s notable actions, including this legendary cross start which froze Gary Payton, or this truly magical pass with the elbow for Raef LaFrentz during the Rookie Challenge of the 2000 All-Star Game, or again his one-handed laser pass (left) for Corliss Williamson.
Champion in 2006 with Miami
We can always go back in time and savor the swaying dribbles of the West Virginia native who would eventually obtain a championship ring in Miami in 2006 in Florida… the same place where he finished his university career under the orders of a certain Billy Donovan, current coach of the Bulls.
In fact, Jason Williams has two important lines in the “awards” category: a nomination in the best five rookie (in 1999) and an NBA title (in 2006). Between the two, pure spectacle! And the boy still remained an eternal child of the ball, always as lively and spectacular during the summer.
