Jason Williams, better known for his nickname "White Chocolate", was one of the most innovative, flashiest players in NBA history. While his NBA career was not as great as he hoped, he still brought his own flair into a changing NBA landscape. Hope you enjoy!

Do you think the Kings trading him for Mike Bibby was necessary for them to reach the next level? Also, thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring! The first 1000 people who click the link in the description will get 2 free months of Skillshare Premium: skl.sh/andyhoops5
Can you do a video on how Aron Baynes made it to the Nba and his Journey?
Yes bibby took then to good to great alongside everyone else especially Webber making mutiple deep runs
of course. bibby is like a billups type of player. More of a leader and winner. Remember when bibby was traded to hawks they started to win.
Where he was expected to go if it weren’t for the off court stuff in the draft and basically the best point guard of the 98 was classed for traded for the secound best bibby pick 2 for Williams pick 7
Can you do a how good was Andrei Kirilenko actually
"Pistol Pete was known for flashy passes"
**Shows simple bounce pass highlight**
Facts! Lol Watch the rest of that pistol pete video and heill show you how to do a flashy bounce pass with a simple snap of your wrist.
Wasnt just simple
Yeah Andy always uses that clip for Pete
@@JayMoneyMac Link? Who is the older guy and the other player?
Arthur Rahman the other player is Henry Bibby, and the video is “Pistol Pete Red On Roundball”
Do a How good was Andrei Kirilenko
Dude, back in 2005-07, AK47 was dope
Rusty Buckets has a video on that
AK47 was a dog
There is a video about his epic season
th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
He was good...
I always loved pass first point guards like Jason Williams. I remember seeing a House of Highlights video of him reacting to his career highlights and his work ethic to create those flashy passes was insane. Talking about how he’d spend hours running at a hoop, going for a layup and doing a behind the back pass mid air while aiming at a target his dad painted on his garage door. It’s a great video and I recommend people check it out.
Every player he played with loved him because he would get them easy baskets.
Even he said, I'd rather get 20 assists to 20 points.
That’s all true! He used to mark X on a wall and hit that spot for hours with each hand without shooting one time! He was cool and was friends at one point! He a good dude!!
@@jamaalhorton2343 u were freind with em?…
Damn, i remember when i watching him, im always want to try his signature elbow pass, i do it in a game, then after that i got benched.
I was like that too
I can do it successfully....... to a teammate standing right next to me.
You're all bums
@@thatlsk what?
Its dope you even attempted it fam
How good was Gary Payton an spectacular defender and solid scorer in his prime in the mid 90s and early 2000s.
The only *point* guard to win DPoY
prlysis not true, ever heard of Michael Jordan?
Not gonna speak on his defense, because this is a YT comment section and I don't expect much, but GP was no spectacular scoer. He was above average at best.
@@prlysis *point guard
I had no idea he played for the heat!? Where the fuck was I that year
Seems appropriate now
How good was Stephen Jackson actually
Pretty good for a few years and always a solid role player but not as good as he’d like you to believe. The way dude talks you’d think he was a superstar in the league.
@@jomantis5 He is overconfident but still very good. Especially in Indiana and Golden State. On the Spurs he was a very talented role player but not much more.
2nd best player on the championship Spurs
@@tony123gutierrez tony Parker definitely better
@@adamgilmore4534 Parker was a rookie or sophomore that year and almost cost them the chip he def was not the 2nd best that year
He grew up and shined brilliantly.
Jason’s an awesome champion and we love him.
Jason Williams also played for Orlando Magic Bro.
yea thought that
The DEFINITION of being invited to the cookout
That’s Ernie Johnson’s definition
He's not invited to any cookout I'm having
Hell no
@@thatlsk food probably trash anyway
💯
Ive seen his interviews, he seems like an A guy as well
His interview with House of Highlights is I'd highly recommend.
Dude was definitely an A guy
Not as bad as being an F guy
@Mack Nelly I think he's talking about his personality type
Yeah he seems very humble and down to earth. I’d love to smoke some weed and have a beer with him haha
He could hoop... got a bad wrap for being flashy but I loved how he played, the freedom of expression with amazing skill and love for the game... injuries slowed him down but I enjoyed his game...💯💯💯
He played in the NBA for 12 years and won an NBA Championship Title - that sounds like a successful NBA career to me.
Video request:
Suns 7 sec offense
Best 60th pick
How good was ak47 (edit: andy done it)
How good was mark price
Hall of very good part 2 (i think there are a lot of players not hof worthy but had long successful career they should get some love)
Fun fact about ak-47: he was addicted to world of war craft
defensive specialist and underrated passer
@@lindenmcdiarmid2009 and he looks like one of the character in that game
And Mehmet Okur!
Kings trading Jason Williams for Mike Bibby is like Denver trading Iverson for Billups. Trade resulted in reaching the WCF only to lose to the Lakers. 🤧
Billups playoff record against the lakers 1-1 beat them in "04" and loss to them in "09"
Kings beat lakers, everyone knows that.
@Young King cheatin ass refs 😂
2002 WCF Game 6
we all know that the lakers' real mvp that season was tim donaghy.
The way he played in Miami was great. Just imagine if he played that way his whole career. The Kings would have a championship or two.
Definitely not 1 or 2 but be a good team in the playoffs
They were a good team in the play offs...and became serious contenders with Bibby
he needed a great coach....he was reckless without one
@@razkable He had one in Rich Adelman.
Hubie Brown changed him. I remember JWill giving the credit to H. Brown in one of his interviews when he was already in the playoffs with the Heat.
Great content as usual, but did you make a whole J Will vid and didn't show a clip of the elbow pass? #cmoson
It's a SHAME
sounds like he didnt like him smh.. jwill was the dude.
Perfect timing wow, cause I was just scrolling through facebook when this popped up. Time to sit back and enjoy 💙🤘🏻
Andy been watching you for years love your channel. You really inspire me
A very imaginative point, has tons of potential but plays recklessly and tries to do too much. If he came in the league with the mindset he had when he was with the Heat, he might have been an Allstar.
His mind changed in Memphis under Hubie Brown
i wish some players were not in bad situations....jason williams is one of those guys in his prime same for antoine walker that i wish had a franchise like the heat for stability instead of the trash celtics and kings at the time
I mean Steph Curry plays with that recklessness too. He just has a lot of talent/skill to make up for it
@@MarcusHansen276 but steph is the best shooter in nba history.thats the difference..
@@carloconopio5994 yes I literally said he has the skill to makeup for the recklessness Idk what your point is
Do a “how good was Shawn Kemp”
Dean Schroeder yes
I want to see this
Yes please
Really good
definitely
I was afraid you would miss what happened in Memphis I lived there and watched Hubie Brown teach him the right way to play and get him from the worst assist turnover ratio in the league to the best
Finally you've made a video about J.Will, I've been waiting for this for long time
Jayson Williams went 10-11 from the field in game 6 of the 2006 east finals against Detroit that year. That was major in helping the heat reach the finals
Dude was amazing. Ask any point guard from that era and they all respected him. The Sac chapter ended with beef with the coaching staff because they wouldn’t let him get past his last mistakes. I remember by the end, they were playing him in just the 1st and 3rd quarters. It was crazy. He could play lights out in the 1st quarter and then be pulled NO MATTER WHAT. No one can play like that. And he had shown vast improvement in his shot selection and decision making. No one could talk down on his talents. Then he adjusted his game to play with any system. Dude was a team player and everyone loved playing with him. Coming from where he came from, dude is a true Hall of Famer for real fans. And his skills were undeniable.
1) He is a career below 40% shooter. Hes a bad shooter and a bad 3 point shooter.
2) He consistently made bad plays his whole career. He started every game for each game he played with the Kings.
3) He was super erratic. He'd .ake a flashy play then make 3 bad basic plays.
There is a reason the team got better once he was gone and they got a more consistent PG.
And the Kings themselves got better as his play time decreased.
Negusis 85 Wrong. He actually LED the mba in assist to turnover ration in Memphis. He won a TITLE with Miami as a VERY dependable point guard who kept defenses honest with his ability to attack in transition, deep range on his jump shot, & passing ability. He was in no way, “erratic throughout his career”. Do your research more thoroughly before u write statements, buddy.
I also never said he didn’t start for the Kings. He started everywhere he went as to be a starting point guard on nba rosters for over 10 years PROVES that a person is elite. He was erratic his second year as the year went on. His third year he was playing behind the eight ball with coach Adelman as he would play the 1st and third quarters no matter how good or bad he was doing. Bobby Jackson would play the second and fourth quarters. That was on the coach. Jason changed his game by that point and just wanted a fair chance to play. He could play perfect and still not see any time but these pre-allotted minutes. It was beyond frustrating. Hence the trade. U could’ve put the same Jason williams with the mike Bibby minutes and opportunity to play through mistakes & the team record would’ve been the same.
@@DJRashadHayes okay, I never thought I'd see Jason Williams number 1 fan.
This is a great video. I’ve been wanting this.
I have been waiting ffc or this straight fire Andy Hoops
Do how good was antwan Jamison
Yes been asking for that
Underrated. I wish he finished his career in Washington
Thats crazy i just said that lol
He should be in the Hall, he has over 20k pts.
Anybody know that Williams went to high school with Randy Moss? Watch their high school basketball highlights, they were crazy
at one point there was a commercial showing both in high school and pro to the tune of the old Dukes of Hazard show. Just good ole Boys.
2:34 "He was like Pete Maravich with his flashy passes"... followed by a clip of the literally the tamest passing possible
The JR Smith effect 😂
Talking About Jr I Want a Video about him
Jason was always a showmen, and reckless with the ball 50% of the time, he wasn’t an actual true real pg like Mike Bibby was. Dont get me wrong J-Will was really fun to watch with those behind the back passes, and elbow passes
And that is why Sacramento traded White Chocolate for Bibby
And still won nothing
@@WillsonT011 2002 conference finals, game six, don't even get me started.....
@@WillsonT011 well kings did get played over by a paid ref that has admitted to it
@@JHockeyFan Yeah... Did Bibby get a championship... Ok so that's nonsense.
Like so many other players, he probably never reached his full potential because he was getting high instead of working on his shooting and other aspects of his game. Still, probably the most entertaining passer in NBA history. I put him above some of the guys you mentioned because he won a chip with Miami as a guy who contributed.
How good was Jason Richerson?
Trash, very corny player
This I want to see
You mean Jason Richardson
i think you got it spot on with middle of the pack for his playing days. However, due to his highlights and the top plays he appeared to be better. But he was fun to watch as a neutral supporter. Yet I can only imagine the pain of supporting his team when he did something stupid
I would compare J-Will to one of his contemporaries on the court, Rafer Alston. He had a street ball style but didn't have the talent to take his game to the next level in the NBA. I think middle of the road is the best description for White Chocolate.
Exactly ! Too much hype because of highlights.. but Bibby was a way better player in fact
Was impressive how he was the only and1 player to make NBA
I can’t get behind this comparison because he could have been better if he focused and stayed out of trouble and drugs.
@@modoki666Bibby was better overall but not ‘way’ imo. Williams had the best assist to turnover ratio in the league while at Memphis - and did improve his shot quite a bit the second half of his career.
@@RacksonRacksonRibss Well when you shoot less usually you have a better fg % but still his overall % was near what Bibby for for 3 (38%) He was too inconsistent to be a threat offensively. Kings were better after with Bibby too.
I always think that JW was overrated because of highlights 🤷♂️
I'm glad I grew up in the era I did were some very special guys and often underappreciated I would have love to seen white chocolate in today's nba as wide open as the game is dude was definitely a legend when you can pass the way he can and had a crossover he would definitely be better in today's NBA
Jason "White Chocolate" Williams is extremely underrated & forgotten by today's fans.
Not underrated, he wasnt an all star but was eye catching.
Wtf are you talking about. Thery forgot because he's not all star or boarder line all star. 0 all nba. Actually he's an average player and playmaker. Look at his stats. 6 apg? And u look at him the same level like kidd, nash, marbury, paul in his era.
No, he's *severely overrated* if anything because all the nba shows these days are his highlights.
@@norellmarksalaan9587 He literally said hed rather get more assists than points even his teammates said that they liked him a lot because they would get easy buckets cause of him and yes i am severely late replaying to this comment from 2 years ago which you will probably not see
@@uhckingking6968 check his assist per game bro compare it to jason kidd, payton and Nash.
Do a video on wes unseld since he recently passed
always enjoyed your content.
For me, after all that said and done, he has a ring. Probably it was mainly because of D Wade, still.. He’ll be remembered as one of that one time, 06 Miami.
A magician on the court, White Chocolate, one of the most unique and underrated PG of all time. As he once said, "there's a good passer and there's a willing passer" and I think he's the best willing passer that ever played the game.
And average 6 apg? Lol
Nah your on drugs
He is the reason why im a Kings fan till today. Thats why i love and hate him as well 🤣 greetings from 🇧🇷!!
I'm still mad that we didn't witness the best assist in basketball.
The elbow pass? That wasn’t an assist, dude missed the shot.
LaFrentz missed the layup
James Yeah, which is why we didn’t witness it...
@@Jamzkee84 That's the point. Can't have an assist if the man doesn't make the shot.
Well put 👍
I love how play for the heat and the magic, he need more experience to be a point guard of a contenden team and he proved that
I’ve actually tried the elbow pass on a fast break. And it hit my brother’s face
Andy, you should do a video of Red Auerbach legacy in Boston. He literally defined how a team and a franchise should be if they want to win and even become a dynasty. It could be an interesting and deep video, like all of the moves that Red did to made Boston contenders and champs again and again.
Andy Hoops main music is what I come for every video.
Perfect timing for this video.
I feel like he was the rondo of the early 2000s
The wish version
@@badunderwear6662 you mean Rondo is the Wish version, right?
guillemdc nah he means j-will, rondo had a way better prime and was a way better defender and rebounder as well, and offensively they were both inefficient pass first point guards, but rondo was still a better passer than j will
WMS jake nah J will was by far the better passer
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar he may were the better passer, but Rondo was by far the player with higher IQ on the court. Decision making plays a big factor regarding playmaking ability
Love the video. You should do Jason Richardson next.
If teams got points for flash, then Williams could have been a legit HOFer, but they don't and overall he was an average point guard at best. Don't get me wrong, there is value in exciting fans but it doesn't win games. I loved Williams growing up as he completely dominated ESPN's "Top 10 Plays of the Week" on a regular basis, but that often doesn't translate to wins in the end. He still deserves credit for being one of the most entertaining point guards of his generation and had a long career. His dribbling and passing (aside from the turnovers) is borderline legendary.
Good one Andy the JR Smith effect 😂😂😂👍.
Great video. You were absolutely correct and on point about "white chocolate"
That pass he made to raef when he failed to dunk it holy shit
Goat nba youtuber
One of my favorite players of all-time, him Larry Legend and Pistol Pete are the best none black players in NBA history to me. Definitely most entertaining!!!
Damn never knew he was so inefficient... I guess when your a lil kid all u seen was the tremendous highlights.
@@313drepeso313 Dirk, yao ming, Jokic
Legend.
You hit the nail on the head.
It's hard to describe how much fun Jason Williams was to watch. I don't think he was overrated at the time--we all kind of knew what he was--but it was still incredible to watch.
Well said
Longtime Grizzlies fan here: I remember when he was traded here. People want to act like it was an unfair trade which it was but Bibby basically refused to play for us. Anyway I remember the word on street was he was talented but undisciplined and wildly inconsistent. The person that turned his career around was Hubie Brown- the Grizzlies coach basically became a father figure for him. He took him under his wing. If it wasn’t for Hubie, he would’ve been in even more trouble and/or been out of the league much sooner.
I have a video suggestion:
What draft pick has produced more stars? Many may think is the number 1 pick but we see many number 1 pick that don’t become star. Their has to be a pick that has produce the best players in the NBA.
I’d say the #3 pick
You need to make more videos like this and the fall of teams
I dont think this kid ever really understood how good he was himself. He was never forced to maximize his ability. Coaches appeared to settle for his passing ability; never really relinquishing green light to William's. So his game was hornaced by coaches with a short leash. They lacked confidence in his thinking ability. I believe he had the potential to go to the HOF. Tremendous passer.
I mean Jason Williams was really just a solid to above average starter during his prime, he wasn’t an all star caliber player or anything, but he was a good passer and one of the most innovative and flashy passers of his era
I Love J will, I think I played with him at the local park the other day too. Great guy!
Yeah I played with obama and Michael Jordan at the park as well oh and I forgot to mention lebron was there watching
I actually loved to see White Chocolate play. I am also happy that he got a ring & that is something that many great players cannot say ✌🏾👊🏾
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's jr smith effect thing, really open my eyes. It's like he was the opposite of khris middleton and tim duncan. Never flashy but thats make them underrated. Good video 👍
Half of that 04 draft suffered from that effect. Jr Smith, josh smith, Emeka Okafor, iggy, al Jefferson, Devin harris, Ben Gordon, Anderson varejo, Shaun Livingston. Lol
Do a "how good was Detlef Schrempf"
lol
The early 2000s was all about what "highlight players" where doing during the games. Guys like vince carter, tmac, steve francis, jwill, cwebb or kobe made all those signature moves that change the way that nba's game was played and we all remembered to the point that all of us tried to emulated them off the court and also inspired the best NBA PG'snowadays. Thats where jwill leaves his mark in the nba regarless of his 3pt % or any other stats
Idgaf, J-Will is 1 of my top 5 favorite players ever. He & A.I. were my two favorite players when I started watching basketball
never came to your video that early
Ok you can question J Will's commitment to winning early in his career, you can question his shot selection, you can question his defense but gawd damn you can not question his skills! Jason Williams was one of the more gifted basketball players skills wise i have ever seen. So for this guy to say J-Will didn't have the skills just blows my mind!
Good vid, I know Shaq always praises JWill, but didn't realized he had such a renasaince season that Championship yr in Miami. Prob his best season when it counted most. Good for him!
But yeah I'm from Vancouver when we had the Grizzlies. Was always happy we had Bibby instead of JWill, even though JWill was getting way more press being an exciting player on a better team.
Remember when i always want to do his passes but i like the game of his.
He seems like a family man and a decent guy, so I’m glad he got paid.
Underrated
Andy,I would like you to do a video about Sasa Pavlovic, who was playing with LeBron in Cavs.Please
Love the video you should do a gheorghe muresan video
Also I’d like to see a Stephen Jackson or Toni Kukoc video, please. They had solid careers but I also feel like they could have had better careers. Also I think both have interesting off court stories and seem like good people too!
Can you do how good was Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, or Rashard Lewis, I want to know more about those magic teams. Thanks.
Especially Rashard Lewis he got paid for some reason
Make a vid about the 2006 Heat. Touched on it in the video. A whole video about it would be interesting
Andy, when you mentioned that Webber was traded from the Bullets, they were already the Wizards by the time he was traded to Sacramento. Anyways, nice video on J-Will.
4:05 LOL The Great and legendary BIMBO COLES
I didn't get hip to J-will until he played for the Heat, I've never been aware of the Pete Maravich comparisons, but now having heard that I can totally understand it. I'm going to be 40 this August, so I grew up in watching Jordan in his prime and when Miami won the title in 2006 it was like Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan and John paxson all has new names: Pat Riley, Dwyane Wade and Jason Williams.
Andy at the end of the video, all those great guards you mentioned! That's true J will was never on they level, or the other point guard you forgot to mention: Chauncey Billups!!! 5 x all star/Nba Champ/went back to back in nba finals/ 6 straight conference with Pistons/ turned the denver nuggets into legit contenders💯 so that's 7 straight conference finals.... Put some respect on that man👌
i know you see the kirilenko comments andy, lol make it happen
he made it happen 😎
How good was Andy Hoops
You should do one of these for Joe Johnson, Deron Williams and Chris Bosh
7:55 Marion's face...and Timmy Don in the background
My mom actually was in college with Jason Williams when they were at Marshall
I like his ball handling. It is very fun to watch
Andy And His Intro Beats. 😂😂😂😂
These videos are the best
DONT ARGUE WITH ME
He was fun to watch for sure.
Dope!
It was 1991 or 92 I believe... I was in Beckley WV watching Dupont Play Beckley (High School BBall) This skinny kid (Jason Williams) throws a pass off the back board... then this tall lanky player comes from nowhere catches, double clutches, dunks it 2 handed... Turns out that was (Randy Moss)... I had not a clue he played football and thought for sure he would end up in the NBA! ... Very Nice Memory one I wont soon forget, especially now!
He is the one of entertainer of nba... 😁
It’s crazy I never thought about this but Jason Williams is a man
Stop Being So Thirsty wtf
So this is where they got Kuroko? They copied Jayson Williams
Nah...... I believe kuroko more likely towards to john stockton. Cause he also a great stealer. Oh yeah, john stockton also usually get SHADOW by karl malone. And john stockton didnt like too much attentiom from media.
@@edwardtimothy3581 kuroko is unique he most likely is a rajon rondo or a manu gino.
well the elbow pass by Akashi was taken from Jason Williams. He did it on All Star game.
A good ass anime
