Jay Williams: This DUKE LEGEND was the BIGGEST Chicago Bulls “What if”… Until Derrick Rose | FPP

- He is one of the greatest Duke Blue Devils of all time, and one of the greatest NCAA point guards of all time. Jay Williams played three years for the Duke Blue Devils as one of the only freshman point guards to start for coach K. He would team with future NBA talent like Shane Battier, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Chris Duhon during his time at Duke. He would win three ACC tournament titles, a variety of individual awards and a National Championship in 2001. He left Duke after three years as the best player in College Basketball, and after Yao Ming was drafted 1st overall in 2002 NBA Draft, Jay Williams went #2 to the Bulls, but his rookie season wasn’t what most hoping for, however, he showed flashes and clearly had the potential, so there was still plenty of hope after one decent season. But in June 2003, he got in a serious motorcycle accident, which would end his career due to the injuries he sustained. Today he has carved a successful broadcasting career with some big name companies like ESPN, but that seems to be all he’s known for anymore. But for a brief period in the early 2000s, Jay Williams was one of the best point guards in basketball.

Truly a what if… an all time Duke legend
he was a bust and he hid that forever
Duke players don't do much in the NBA. big difference
I'm 42 , J. Will "what if" story hits different for my generation, his career wasn't plaquedby injury(s), and still able to play like, Penny, D. Rose, etc. His injury ended his career in a single accident....One of da College goats. He replaced Will Avery from my hometown Augusta, Ga...
Respect
Damn his Bulls highlights are extremely rare. Thanks
He was sooo nice, no cap what so ever!
I remember playing against him in H.S. back in NJ. I remember before the Christmas tournament we played, He was just chilling eating McDonald's, not even practicing . Then he scored 35 on us 😂
I’m 38yrs old and Jay Williams is the BEST COLLEGE PG OF MY LIFETIME, bar NONE and how did you leave out him winning C.P.O.Y???
I dont remeber him missing that many shots...from Kentucky fan he was the Dude
Daris miles, maggette, Ron artest. Great video
You had to be there kids. Best college player I’ve ever seen. I still remember where I was when I heard the news of his crash.
Elton Brand should be next, Duke legend and underrated PF Bulls and Clippers
Facts
One of my favorite college players.
I totally forgot about Chris Duhon and Mike D.
Great! Now we also need Jayson Williams, center of the Nets and all-star in the late 90s.
They don't make college basketball teams like that anymore... So much talent on those Duke teams!
They just reloaded from the late 80s through 2000s...there was no rebuilding.
@@jimmyplenderleith9471Dude you can't rebuild on the college level 😂😂😂
@@rda431 Sure you can, sometimes you need a new class of freshman to come in, develop and get good before you can contend for a title again, especially if your recruiting classes in between were so so. Duke never had so so. They just reloaded.
Thank you 😊
I couldn’t wait for him to go to nba. I remember hearing what happened and couldn’t believe it.
Jay Williams was nice on Duke
Off court stupidity ended his career. Sad, he had a long career ahead of him.
He had to just get on a damn motorcycle
This is why i love 2K 💯 fr tho U can redo careers or do dream games N shxt
great content as always.....Mark Macon and the "L Train" Lionnel Simmons would be great "what ifs"........each player had adversities at different stages of their careers
I hope you do tayshaun prince… the reason the pistons didn’t draft Melo
Do Wally Szczerbiak
He would have been solid but IMO he had already reached his ceiling at duke. Prolly would have made a few all star teams and been the 2nd or 3rd best player on a championship team but i didnt see him becoming one of the best pgs to ever play the game. I think people forget he played on the best college basketball team ever,he played with boozer,battier and dunleavy,if im not mistaken all them dudes went pro and became starters in the NBA…..let that sink in….they all went pro and became starters at the next level
Disagree. He could have been a 20/9 guy for a decade
@@vivahernando1 i said all star,those are all star numbers but not all time great.
@@MIGGYME1those are Alltime great averages for a career
@@casiemny1219 no they arent,deron williams had the same averages and he aint even making the hall of fame yet alone being called an “all time great”. Also how can we call that an average for him when he only played one season,i think people forget that…..ONE SEASON. Jay would have been a solid player but people thinking he was gonna be an all time great are clueless.
@@MIGGYME1 do you think Steve Nash or Gary Payton would be Alltime greats after their rookie seasons? Also look at their career numbers, and both are hall of famers…So those numbers definitely could be Alltime Great numbers…I’m not saying he would’ve been an all time great, I actually would lean more on your side….ijs its hard to tell how good he could’ve been off of such a small sample..
You should do an Oscar Robertson or Wes Unseld video. I know they're not that obscure players, but people don't talk about their career as much as they should
Terry Cummings
John Starks
Yao Ming
Scott Skiles
Cherokee Parks
Hey bro can you do Lamar Odom or Richard Jefferson next. Truly appreciate your videos!!!!
good one. He was madd nice at Duke. I thought he was gonna be a consistent all star, maybe even HOF
If he hadn't got on the damn motorcycle, it'd be a whole different story 😞
@@AwfulLotOfSmoke factz smg
Derrick Rose is the BIGGEST WHAT IF IN BULLS HISTORY
if you missed this comment, the bulls nearly had the duke roster throughout the years, J will, brand, boozer, dunleavy, duhon, Deng
64% at the freethrow line was never going to cut it.
Jap he is a real what if
But the biggest what if is Derrick rose
Why are you posting 1 video every saturday now?
You should do a Troy Murphy vid
This makes me think of Len Bias. Another huge what if & many felt was Jordan's closest competition if he didn't pass away before making it to the NBA. He deserves a video too.
Do Tyreek Evans please.
The bulls and point guards are cursed. Jay Williams, D-rose, lonzo ball
Maybe they not mfs shit just be happening mfs don’t even be cursed fr
Would he have been as good as Chris Paul?
Damn motorcycles.... Smh
Was prime tmac better than kobe?
Prime tmac was better than everyone 💯
He was who Ronnie Fields supposed to be in Chicago!
Ronnie was more athletic and played SG
He was 6’1 at best 😂
He was atleast 6’2
He was gonna be traded to Miami with the 7th pick for the 4th pick witch would game been Dwayne Wade.
Brian Grant
Dude wasn't looking like a future all star. Never know what could have happened. But he felt like he was heading to bust status before the injury
🧢
He was gonna be solid but he didn't show any stardom once he hit the league..
How bout my guy Jeff Teague? Feel like that could be 🔥 🔥
Chicago guards since MJ - Jay Williams, Ben Gordon, Derrick Rose. All three careers ended in tragedy.
what if j will never draft by bulls but another team? chicago bulls was worst thing happen to him. motorcycle accident happen because he was so unhappy at bulls coaching staff.
Looks like is cheating on his classmates paper at 1:48 lol
Duke point guards and motor cycles don't mix, like Bobby Hurley
100% Overrated 🤷♀️
Let me guess, you’re a tar heels fan
@@Radel623or Wolfpack fan 😂
@@Radel623100% overrated after college. Let me guess you’re not very bright are you Radel ????
How old are you?
@@cellgames808 definitely older then you junior . Stay in your lane . You should work on that
TJ Ford would be great
I'm not a scout. College ball, to me, is little more than a bunch of pickup games with annoying marching band "music." Come to think of it, I'd rather watch an actual pickup game. Less noise. It's all amateurs, anyway
Can you hoop? Jus curious
@@Rellodoe414facts, lol like WTF is he even talking about
This is going to be a short video…. J.Williams is goofy
overrated.. hes simply like any other scoring slashing pg. in college
He ducked a lot of dudes new jersey while he was a st. Joes high school. ask St. Benedict Guard from Newark NJ Glenn Davis. He was scared to play against that St. Benedicts prep back court Glenn Davis and Bernard Barrow
What he didn't play or something
he was not considered the best in cbb that's not true
Yea he was
he wasn't that good. I remember watching back then
He was trash with the Bulls before the accident. Post MJ NBA was the worst era in the last 40 years. Chucker little men with low %. Bulls paid out this bums contract while he rehabbed knowing he'd never come back, smh. Guess they didn't teach you to wear a helmet when riding at Duke. His ESPN commentary is just as trash.
He played one season as a rookie..how tf was that trash??
