I take my hat off to this man for taking accountability for he's actions. It takes a real man to admit his mistakes and feel remorseful for it. Shout-out to Mr. Williams.
He took a life due to his addiction. And now he is out saving lives .So many people needed to hear this. I hope that God continues to make him a blessing to others.
No. The gun went off accidentally. He tried to pay someone to take the blame, hence cover up, that's why he went to prison. Had zero to do with addiction. People in military are killed by accident often.
Alcohol isn't the problem it's the other stuff that people don't get resolved or know how to coop with. Alcohol is just the key to open the door to problems that need to be resolved from people's past. He gave up alcohol but replaced it with staying busy his problem is still there he just replaced it with something positive but that's still not helping him.
I Salute Jayson Williams for being so Transparent & Honest about alcohol & Drug Addiction his interview will help someone out there that needs the help #Blessings
This is real and this is what being a man is about. Accepting your responsibilities, asking for forgiveness from God, the family, and you must forgive yourself. Let your tears out Mr. Williams and begin to move on.
"I KNEW I needed my Dad. I wasn't going to leave my Dad. I KNEW I had issues and needed that structure!" Slamn. Such humility he had at a young age ... late teens - early 20s to recognize and confess then and now that he needed his dad. WOW #my2cents
I’ve never seen a man who really feels bad about what they’ve done and public about it to this level, he is really hurting and doing his best to kick the worst habit, alcoholism, real brotha right here, and may Jah bless his efforts
He breaks down because he’s a genuinely good dude. He hurts because he took someone’s life. He was raised right. These kids out here could care less who’s life they have taken.
Damn, Jayson Williams kicked so much game in this interview...James Dolan, Armon Gilliam, Charles Barkley and the NBA All-Star game. Wow. Great Interview.
I wish Jayson Williams so much peace and love. I really loved how he owned being a coward and how regretful he was. Admitting your mistakes is huge and he's going the work to be better. Loved the interview. It was honest, sincere and was needed.
I really hope charlemange gets to read this. You need sensitivity training. You shouldn't bombard suicidal people with suicide questions. Often its best for them not to think about suicide even in peaceful and happy times because hard times will always come back.
CTG just made an observation. He said it seems like hes running from something. He is. If he's suicidal is that CTG's fault? Jayson seems like he might not be all there up top. He might need to be in an institution.
222222e It’s not about an observation it’s about empathy, even therapist know to build re-pour with their client. He should keep that in mind especially because viewers offered him empathy with his situation.
Breakfast Club always delivers, I was just Googling this guy a few days ago to see what he was up to because he was one of my favorite role player big man in the NBA coming up as a kid.
I love his openness and honesty....I pray he find healing and peace! I feel his pain....my heart goes out to him!!!!!! Man...my God...he's a inspiration...we don't know why things happen and why things the way it is......May God bless this man of God....my brother in Christ 🛐😓
Im usually a fan of Charlemagne but after this interview i can honestly see why people call him the drama queen. He seemed so umempathetic i understand we all have certain agendas to forward but come on Cuz.
I lived right next to Jayson when he played for Philadelphia and the guy was the man. He took me to a pizza shop in his Lamborghini Diablo. Can’t tell you how cool I felt as a 10 year old.
God Bless you J.Williams... I'm praying for you thru this journey. Claiming victory over your life. Peace and Love to the families of everyone involved.
One of the bravest most introspective and heartbreakingly honest interviews I have seen in a while. Man, I have a hard time getting over my defensiveness and passive aggressive behavior in general and this man (I repeat, man) opened up about his present darkness. He needs us and I need him. My hero in this moment. Keep moving, keep fighting and know that despite it all you are doing what you need to do.
it's important to have someone elaborate on their suicidal thoughts. a lot of people deal with it and I am so glad he was so open to share it with the public. God forbid he do something to his self.
He reminds me of my dad who passed away this year and had some of the same issues he had dealing with addiction and guilt of past decisions. I pray he can heal and grow. This is deep and important for us to remember that we are not immune to life happening so we all need to be vigilant to make the best choices possible so that we never live with regret.
Jason William,great interview,I am a recovering addict too who has got 19-1/2 years clean and sober,get a sponsor do the steps then freely give it back that's how it work.
Everything happens for a reasons this maybe his calling ? This is what real remorse looks like and I wish Jayson Williams the best success one day at a time.
whoever booked this interview, thank you. always loved Jayson Williams one of the ppl I looked up to when I played ball as a kid. Easily a top 10 breakfast club iview in my opinion
One of the most important guests ever. No entertainment. Just real life and a man accepting full responsibility for his actions and showing its never too late for change.
My Lord And Savior Frieza Christ let's see someone in your family accidentally kill someone and see how you react. You guys always want to look at one side that supports your point.
Maur Ice owning up to what he did wrong for one, two.. admitting that he has a problem, and working to better himself as well as others. Instead of living in lies and making excuses for himself
The Nets could've gotten a ring if he'd stayed healthy ....they had the squad ...Jason Kidd ,Kenyon Martian ,Richard Jefferson,Kieth Van Horn ,Jayson Williams and Kerri Kittles
Damn it hurt me seeing how hurt he still is over him killing his driver after all these years.... I truly believe it was a accident, he just made some really, really poor decisions
I feel like cta doesn't get enough credit. He's a great interviewer! Every time Jayson almost broke down he really lighten the mood and brought him back up.
I sincerely pray that he eventually finds peace and healing he has started the process it will be hard but I pray he gets through this that is a heavy burden my prayers are with him and his limo drivers family this is heartbreaking and even more to watch I pray all is well Mr Williams! 😊😊
Damn, it takes a real man to admit he was a coward. You can tell he's still struggling with his demons. Hope he finds peace.
I take my hat off to this man for taking accountability for he's actions. It takes a real man to admit his mistakes and feel remorseful for it. Shout-out to Mr. Williams.
Isidro salas and after jail still realise that he needs help and actually got it.
Isidro salas facts this my guy guy
This is one of the most HONEST apologies/explanation. I pray he can forgive himself and move forward. God be with the family of the deceased.
Forgive yourself brother, God has you....
Troy Johnson amen brotha 🙏🏼 god bless you
I agree
He took a life due to his addiction. And now he is out saving lives .So many people needed to hear this. I hope that God continues to make him a blessing to others.
No. The gun went off accidentally. He tried to pay someone to take the blame, hence cover up, that's why he went to prison. Had zero to do with addiction. People in military are killed by accident often.
Jayson Williams has PTSD, I pray that God's will provides peace to his mind.
btw , jason said his gym time , stupid time
4:44 , ... yall missed it haw?
Aww, poor guy. I didn't hear that part but it's sad knowing he said he suffers from PTSD
First time I've heard him admit to the cover up. Because part of his cover up was trying to bribe another man to take the blame.Kudos JWill !
BenGetItIn correct he paid his due lord hear his prayers
alcoholism in the Black community is not a subject we address... largely ignored.... sad...
Mr. Hester true and I'm glad I never picked up alcohol seen the problem from my dad when I was younger told myself never and I stuck to it!!!
Erica M way to add something relevant to the conversation
Big problem and it can hit the most esteemed families...alcoholism doesn't discriminate
Mr. Hester I live it everyday.
Alcohol isn't the problem it's the other stuff that people don't get resolved or know how to coop with. Alcohol is just the key to open the door to problems that need to be resolved from people's past. He gave up alcohol but replaced it with staying busy his problem is still there he just replaced it with something positive but that's still not helping him.
That man had me in TEARS with his sincerity!.. 😭😭 i cannot watch a guy get emotional, i breakdown immediately!.. 😭😭😭.. 👏👏👏👏 #ImProud..
ToshaTheBeautiful you so sweet
How can you KNOW he is sincere?
StayHuman2011 It’s so obvious man did you even watch the video?
J.Williams is a good dude. He was very transparent, and that can help others. Thanks for this interview.
Everytime he talks about it you can tell he's genuinely disturbed and sorry about the incident.
Yeah, he can't forgive himself.
tinamarie2484 omg
Exactly!
tinamarie2484 ... think about the number of people that take lives that aren't remorseful, or are dying inside and masking it.
tinamarie2484 you look like my ex wife, gosh I miss her
Dang he broke down early... He still hadn't forgiven himself and it's evident. I pray for his peace, let his heart be released of this pain.
Yeah he didn't even wait for them to bring it up
@Myke Mynah Amen my brotha, I felt for him for sure
Desmond Yates Thank you for this post. It hurts me when I see so much lack of humanity. Your compassion is beautiful.
Is born February 22nd meaning he's a Pisces/Aquarius cusp. Very sensitive, very prone to addiction and very emotional.
Amen 🙏🏾
Phenomenal interview, I'm 19, I didn't know about him before this, but I'm glad I learned about him! 👏
I'm 30 and I remember watching him. He was real solid. They just couldn't get past AI and the Sixers in the early 2000s
Kenneth Jacobs they lost to the Lakers back to back in the finals
He was actually good too i remember him in them days
I am 41yrs old and he is still my crush.
I Salute Jayson Williams for being so Transparent & Honest about alcohol & Drug Addiction his interview will help someone out there that needs the help #Blessings
"A disease that tells me I don't have a disease..." Deep
People will forsake you ,but Jesus will never leave you or forsake you.
Facts !
Accune Amen
This is real and this is what being a man is about. Accepting your responsibilities, asking for forgiveness from God, the family, and you must forgive yourself. Let your tears out Mr. Williams and begin to move on.
"I KNEW I needed my Dad. I wasn't going to leave my Dad. I KNEW I had issues and needed that structure!" Slamn. Such humility he had at a young age ... late teens - early 20s to recognize and confess then and now that he needed his dad. WOW #my2cents
He recognizes his mistakes and in return now he is saving lives
One their best interviews! Alcohol is number 1 worse drug, becuz people believe its not a drug
Kevin Clark I one hundred percent agree with you
cabebet nigga said copy that 😂
Helluva interview!! Jayson was as forthcoming as anybody can be. CTG and Envy was hitting him with serious questions
took alot of courage to do this
I always thought he was so handsome. He's even more attractive now. I ❤️ a man that can own up to his mistakes and try to make it right.
God bless this brother. I hope he continues to recover.
I’ve never seen a man who really feels bad about what they’ve done and public about it to this level, he is really hurting and doing his best to kick the worst habit, alcoholism, real brotha right here, and may Jah bless his efforts
God Bless The Limo Driver Family as Well As Mr. Williams!...Great Interview!!
This was the most humble Breakfast Club interview I’ve seen yet! I can tell he truly wants forgiveness for his past! Hopefully he finds his peace!
He breaks down because he’s a genuinely good dude. He hurts because he took someone’s life. He was raised right. These kids out here could care less who’s life they have taken.
Jayson Williams low key threw shade at the breakfast club 😂😂 talking about " nah if I had gotten 35 million I would be right here with ya"
I realized that after he said he made 90 million 😭🤣
Ha! Right
Damn, Jayson Williams kicked so much game in this interview...James Dolan, Armon Gilliam, Charles Barkley and the NBA All-Star game. Wow. Great Interview.
This guy strikes me as a good man who made a mistake! Wish him the best.
Bless his heart. I can tell he has ptsd and is trying to work through it all. It takes a man to admit all this and face it too.
experience Uh ok
I pray for his healing. I pray that he forgives himself.
I wish Jayson Williams so much peace and love. I really loved how he owned being a coward and how regretful he was. Admitting your mistakes is huge and he's going the work to be better. Loved the interview. It was honest, sincere and was needed.
Doing* the work..
Dope interview. I know it's not easy to tell a real story like this
Great interview! Rehabilitation is real people!
He OWNS it...to the core...the transparency. No excuses...
I really hope charlemange gets to read this. You need sensitivity training. You shouldn't bombard suicidal people with suicide questions. Often its best for them not to think about suicide even in peaceful and happy times because hard times will always come back.
RealisticNMotion only ppl that been in mr Williams shoes will understand . U can tell his trying his best to keep it together .
I know. And when a grown ass country man gets choked up, you know something is wrong.
CTG just made an observation. He said it seems like hes running from something. He is. If he's suicidal is that CTG's fault? Jayson seems like he might not be all there up top. He might need to be in an institution.

LMAO HE PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM IF I HAD $35,000,000 I'LL BE RIGHT HERE WITH YALL
I noticed that too. I was like ouch
You can tell this man has a genuine and good heart. I love the way he lights up when he talks about his rehab center.
He EASILY had the best house on MTV Cribs.
Redman
BLACK FLAG MAFIA 414 😂😂😂 nah that one dude from jackass, i think party boy. He lived in the illest pick up truck.
jjayphilly facts!
He went straight into his past without them even asking.... super honest interview!
jjayphilly Yoooo thats the first thing I thought of. Hands down, best crib
Jayson spilled his heart and seems very sincere. Good interview and I wish him all the best.
He is very, very, very remorseful. It's been 15 years and he still can barely talk about it.
Great interview. I hope he continues to recover and help as many people as possible ❤
Breakfast club is really becoming bigger than music
Im usually a fan of Charlemagne but after this interview i can honestly see why people call him the drama queen. He seemed so umempathetic i understand we all have certain agendas to forward but come on Cuz.
Kenneth Rose That's his training from his time with Wendy. I guess once you learn it you never lose it.
yeah sometimes that extra shit not necessary...straight up wack...let this man deal with his demons
He calls himself a god. That's all I have to hear to not believe a damn word he says
I felt the same way
@@headphonesz6527 exactly. Calling yourself a God means you ain't one!
Everybody deserves #a2ndchance, even Jayson Williams!
I just wanna give him a hug. His heart is heavy and he has to relive this everyday.
I lived right next to Jayson when he played for Philadelphia and the guy was the man. He took me to a pizza shop in his Lamborghini Diablo. Can’t tell you how cool I felt as a 10 year old.
It's all about forgiveness and sobriety starting over and claiming your now
Dj envy be like "for those who dont know at home what is basketball..."
Trill this is getting old now .....
😂😂😂
Ty Laititi Shit been old for 3 years
+lifestraight But he keeps doing it so it still makes the joke relevant
Ty Laititi nah shits still funny lol
God Bless you J.Williams...
I'm praying for you thru this journey. Claiming victory over your life. Peace and Love to the families of everyone involved.
Awesome interview! Glad to see him putting in that work for people who truly need it.
One of the bravest most introspective and heartbreakingly honest interviews I have seen in a while. Man, I have a hard time getting over my defensiveness and passive aggressive behavior in general and this man (I repeat, man) opened up about his present darkness. He needs us and I need him.

Right, Charlemagne was on that media bullshit, just want to talk about the bad stuff.
it's important to have someone elaborate on their suicidal thoughts. a lot of people deal with it and I am so glad he was so open to share it with the public. God forbid he do something to his self.
All will be ok Mr Williams 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sipthistea Dineva Amen

This is deep and important for us to remember that we are not immune to life happening so we all need to be vigilant to make the best choices possible so that we never live with regret.
You're right. My condolences. 🙏🏽
You can hear him trying to hold back tears I pray for you 🙏
"Motivation again was supplying me is no longer providing me, Jayson Williams something killed whatever was driving me..."(Joey-Black Cloud)
Yes he killed someone, he says it in the interview 🙄🙄🙄 Watch the shit before commenting.
That was a great interview . Poor dude is going through a lot . Happy he continues to help others good job j Williams
Wow you never know what somebody is going through.
Much respect to the Breakfast Club and Jayson Williams for this excellent interview.

whoever booked this interview, thank you. always loved Jayson Williams one of the ppl I looked up to when I played ball as a kid. Easily a top 10 breakfast club iview in my opinion
I am only 6 minutes into this interview and my heart is swelling listening to his grief. I remember when this happened.
One of the most important guests ever. No entertainment. Just real life and a man accepting full responsibility for his actions and showing its never too late for change.
This man is the true definition of there being light, at the end of dark tunnel.
Yo this dude is the best storyteller
Y'all need to chill. He didn't kill him maliciously
My Lord And Savior Frieza Christ let's see someone in your family accidentally kill someone and see how you react. You guys always want to look at one side that supports your point.
Young Poppy this pic on ig dumb as I never had a MySpace

Jordan Odom For what exactly?
Maur Ice owning up to what he did wrong for one, two.. admitting that he has a problem, and working to better himself as well as others. Instead of living in lies and making excuses for himself
He was holding back tears.
I'm glad Angela Yee isn't there with her stories, Angela Yee, "My Aunt in Jersey has shot gun.....
Lol
LOL
😆😆😆😩!!!!Facts!
😝
Char just gon keep bringing up only negative stuff😂😂😂
Malik Stephens Thinking it has to do with the 12 steps
🤣🤣,it's trippin to watch like "maybe the next thing he says wont be negative ",but low behold 🤣
Great interview! He’s a honest, humble man. Keep him in Prayer🙏🏾He’s a working progress.
The Nets could've gotten a ring if he'd stayed healthy ....they had the squad ...Jason Kidd ,Kenyon Martian ,Richard Jefferson,Kieth Van Horn ,Jayson Williams and Kerri Kittles
Squad!!!!
BrickCity101 yeah they had squad
Great Interview!!! Definitely appreciate how open and upfront Jayson was 👌🏾
He still hurtin
Damn it hurt me seeing how hurt he still is over him killing his driver after all these years.... I truly believe it was a accident, he just made some really, really poor decisions
People now THIS is how you OWN YOUR SHIT! Good dude!
I hope he's able to finally make peace with his mistakes. No one's perfect. May God bless him. ❤️
So he's a recovering addict... I recognize the lingo! 1 is too many and 100p isn't enough! Prayers for the still suffering addict!
His honesty and heart was refreshing! Enjoyed it immensely!
He's speaking for alot of people. Alcoholism is very difficult to admit to
most sincere interview i ever watched..I pray god continues to walk with this man and heal his demons
He's definitely one of the realest,I've read both his books I highly recommend them.
I feel like cta doesn't get enough credit. He's a great interviewer! Every time Jayson almost broke down he really lighten the mood and brought him back up.
Charlemagne always keep going back to the negative. Nigga always on joke time. Sad
Donovan Williams He needs to mature! I'm so sick of him being apathetic to people. He's too much!!!!
Facts.. he always overdoes it when a topic is a serious
That's thing I loved about Jason Williams he loves to talk and will give a detailed story!
the fear and hurt can be heard in his voice. if you are a close friend or family embrace Ahki. Literally hearing a cry for help. tormenting.
I sincerely pray that he eventually finds peace and healing he has started the process it will be hard but I pray he gets through this that is a heavy burden my prayers are with him and his limo drivers family this is heartbreaking and even more to watch I pray all is well Mr Williams! 😊😊
This is an excellent interview.
BRAVE BRAVE MAN....that's what manhood is taking accountability, accepting responsibility, and sharing your story to help others
