Jason Williams is a retired American basketball player who was a point guard in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for twelve seasons during the late 1990s and 2000s. A native of West Virginia, Williams played college basketball for Marshall University and the University of Florida. The Sacramento Kings selected him in the first round of the 1998 NBA Draft. Williams also played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, and Orlando Magic throughout his career. Due to his flashy style of play and popularity of the And1 Mixtape Tour during his playing years, Williams was given the nickname "White Chocolate".

He started all of Miami's playoff games in 2006 when they won the NBA championship. The Heat named Williams one of their top 25 players of all time in 2007

    I LOVE how AI gives him respect after white chocolate crosses him and lays up. They're both legends.
  • @roaddogg567
    Jason would've been a star in todays league.

    One of my top 5 favorite players of all time. I'm 30 years old. That's 30 years of basketball love.

    When they played to amaze the public!!

    One of the best NBA-passers of all time...pure joy to watch for guys like me who - in terms of highlight reels - dig flashy passing much more than slam dunks. In the NBA almost everyone can dunk, for most of em are tall anyway. Come a guy like Spud Webb, all of a sudden dunking becomes special, extraordinary. But with passing...there are only a handful of players that could/can pass like White Chocolate.

    This guy is unique on its own. I,m so sad i didn't saw him play during my generation but so happy for him for winning a championship. I want to see more of him but those days are gone.

    You know, in skateboarding to be pro you dont just have to be good you have to have style to go pro. Jason Williams had style and thats what people want to watch.

    People with good "handles" are usually out of control and don't make good decisions. You can count on Jason to make good decisions with his handles.
  • @asare240
    He was playing in the wrong era. Hed be a superstar today.
  • @WhiteTrashJim
    Definitely one of the most underrated players of all time.
  • @piloolip7782
    before curry, kyrie and westbrook, he is was and will always be the legendary point guard. DAMN THAT ELBOW PASS!
  • @johnharris750
    Him and Iverson in todays NBA would be unstoppable⭐️
  • @davefox7516
    We LOVED him here in Sacramento. Later, we got Mike Bibby, which was a better point guard, just not as exciting as Williams. The Sacramento Kings Jason Williams number 55 Jersey was the best selling jersey in the NBA for a while.

    3:37 I had this dvd as a kid and I always thought this was the most badass thing of all time
  • @stovepipe5308
    I remember seeing him at DuPont High every night dribbling tennis balls with work gloves on. I was there skateboarding. Guess who did better in life.
  • @dodgeguyz
    If he was playing like that today, they would suspend him for showing off! Back when the NBA was worth watching!
