    I played AAU with Jason in Charleston WV in 94. We had a great time, and he would make us look silly in practice. I will say though, that I made that team because of him. He liked my game, and told the coach I needed to be on the team. It was great experience, and it always makes me happy to see him play and do interviews. I never saw him at the pool or mall without a ball or two in his hands. He practiced hundreds of passes everyday. His skill was the result of hard work.

    To grow up in the era to have seen J Williams, Iverson, Marbury, Rod Strickland, Damon Stoudamire, Tim Hardaway, Penny Hardaway, Baron Davis....even going farther back Mark Price, Stockton, Isiah Thomas, etc.....was so much fun. The way those PGs would dribble and set people up was just so much fun to watch. The game was visually different back then, and I'm so glad I was able to witness that era.

      He's just flashy. As he admitedly said, he can't shoot. He gets a lot of highlights because of the way he executed those passes but he was never really that great of a passer in terms of assist average, assist to tov ratio (he turns the ball over a lot), or assist rate. Mike Bibby, even though his assist total was lower, was better than him in every category except flashiness.

    Man it's been so long since I've seen Jason William. The guy was a legend in my eyes growing up in the 90s. I was a Suns fan with many great PG from KJ, Kidd, Nash & Marbury. But I've always admired Jason Williams because he was just entertainment ready to happen. His handles & dribbles were very artistic. Beautiful done in live NBA game. By far the most entertaining passer & ball handler the game has ever seen. I die-hard imitated this guy growing up. I honestly felt like the asian version of him.

    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 shot 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 me not be just one dimensional.

    I can verify from personal experience that Speedy Claxton was almost impossible to stay with defensively. My AAU team played in a league at I.S. 8 in Jamaica Queens. Claxton was on a team named the Long Island Panthers. He was the PG and his wing players were Zack Marbury and Lamar Odom. My coach used to make me pick up Claxton full court and, not bragging but, I've played against alot of big names and NOBODY was as fast as Craig Claxton.

    Nice! love me some Jwill. I got to play pick up with him at Florida Gym runs at UF after he was unceremoniously off the team. We were so glad he made the league and pulled out all those moves in Sacramento. Made a career while he was having fun. There was all football and basketball players on the pickup team and then me, we kept winning like 3 to 5 games straight and running the floor so the other team was complaining that no one had to cover me so he passed me the ball in the corner and told me to shoot it and I hit a 3. Was a highlight of my pickup career, obviously. He was a real one. Super nice, genuine dude. Always made those around him better and still has that infectious energy on the court to this day to see him and the professor collaborate is sweet.
