ColorBlind: The Jason Williams Documentary

Shout-out to everyone who has showed this project love! (including J-Will himself) It was an honor to help tell the story of one of my favorites and dive into his impact on the game.⚪🍫

JWill and CWebb one of the most underrated dynamic duos in NBA history IMO.

Love 55. He’s deserves a lot more respect as a facilitator than he gets.

Im 39 years old . I grew up throughout my high school years watching Jason Williams. I lived on the east coast and TNT had the Sacramento Kings on all the time . I’ll never forget watching him for the first time . I played point guard in high school but i was a scorer . I would shoot 25-30 shots a game . I was averaging 25 points . After my sophomore season entering my junior year something clicked inside me after watching a game when Jason had 13 assist . That entire summer i would take a basketball and not shoot 1 shot . I never went to a basketball court all summer . We had a county court house and it has about 50 steps . For 5-6 hrs a day all i did was up and down non stop . Rain or shine dribbling . By the time the summer was over my ball control and dribbling was totally next level . I couldn’t wait for basketball season to start . Our very first practice i brought the ball up left handed (i was a always right hand dominate dribbler ) crossed over and instead of pulling up i threw a laser down to my forward . After about 5 trips up the court and 5 assist with no shots coach pulled me aside and said to me when did become a complete player . I went on to have a school record 23 assist in 1 game breaking the previous record of 12 . I owe a lot of my playing achievements to seeing Jason Williams . He put a passion in me to get better overall and not be just one dimensional.

Every kid in America that hooped tried that elbow pass the next day💯

The thing JWill never gets credit for which made him such a nightmare to opposing players was his speed. He was incredibly fast and could penetrate past anyone with the ball in complete control. That gave him so many options- pass, shoot, whatever. Unless you watch full games now, it's hard to appreciate this other insane gift of his from just the highlights. @Trice- Well done on the documentary. You nailed it when you said his greatest contribution to the game was how it made fans feel when watching him. He was pure joy to watch.

The elbow pass, that’s all I got to say... White Chocolate, will always be a legend! ✌🏾

Grew up watching him in Memphis. City of 70% black folks and we LOVED that man like he was our cousin or something. Broke the color barrier for me early. 🧡

The importance of having a great passer on your team.. this dude made a huge difference on every team

Interesting that every bad team he went to became good enough to make the playoffs.

The year before Sac drafted him they only had 4 nationally televised games. His rookie year they were scheduled for only 5 but when his popularity took off networks scrambled to get him on tv more. His third year in Sac the only team with more nationally televised games (27) was the Lakers. Throughout his entire career he was in the NBA's Top 10 most popular list. The Kings and Heat set attendance records every year he was with them. Ratings for their games almost doubled. The amount of revenue he produced for the NBA as a whole is stunning and yet he never got his due. He's one of my favorite players of all time and I'm blessed to have been able to see him live. I'm happy he got himself a Championship, he certainly deserved it.

He was so respected by everybody, no race BS, dude was just good. Even black kids was pretending to be him on the court. If I wasn’t so broke as a kid I would of got his and AI jerseys. Much respect for this video 👍🏾

This is beautiful. Im glad to see J-Will get credit for how revolutionary he was.

White Chocolate is the real deal, and this coming from a die hard Lakers fan since 86...

White chocolate brought that ABA game to NBA with style mad props

Hands down one of the best point guards to ever play. It’s cause of “White Chocolate” I became a Kings fan. Thanks Jason for greatness you displayed on the court. Be well bro.

As someone who grew up watching late 80s and the 90s ballers, I loved watching the Reign Man, The Glove, The Human Highlight Reel, Vinsanity, Air Jordan, The Answer... But White Chocolate? Man, I tuned into SportsCenter EVERY morning to see what J-Dub did last night! Loved watching him play. Eternally underrated. One of my all-time faves! Much love and respect to him. In my book, an all-time great 🙏

Good in depth vid on white chocolate..as a young black man he was our white iverson😂

crazy. i watched his entire career. i grew up watching jordan. when jordan retired i felt such a void. j will filled that whole void and i was such a massive fan. his game was so underrated. his assist to turnover ratio was always top in the league. the narrative of careless with the ball was so media driven. im from mississippi, and when the Grizz moved to memphis, they had a meet and greet in jackson. I showed up in a J Will jersey and he wasnt there. i was so sad lol. I eventually got to meet him when i worked for nba tv. i pitched that he show up on Area 21 with KG and they actually did it. it hit big for the channel. i met him and talked to him. it was so fire.

I grew up in Sac and he definitely put some asses in seats at Arco arena. Love this guy.
