TheDark144 It’s Jason Williams, Rafer Alston, Tim Hardaway, Nick Van Exel, Rod Strickland, Kenny Anderson, Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, Jamal Crawford, Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry and God Shammgod in the NBA Handles Hall of Fame. Let me know if I left anyone off.
He doesn't get excited he's screaming to distract them, he's a distraction genius, everything he does, from his head movement when he's passing the ball to the random shouts to distract, that just shows most players pay attention to people's faces instead of the ball.
I remember Shaq saying that playing with White Chocolate was amazing. Whenever Shaq lifted his hand up, no effort, there was the ball. We can really see that in this video, he's so fast and accurate, damn. Jason's passes make it look like the ball has a magnet going to the hands of other players.
When the pass is more impressive than any dunk or three you have ever seen. I’ll watch curry montages cause they are amazing. But these passes. Are pure magic. God damn Merlin over here.
Alley Oop ! You’re crazy... Shaq said he was one of the best guards he ever played with. J Will was NOT average. He was phenomenal.... btw he still is.

Got to meet the legend at work yesterday.. he came and found me about 30 mins later so I could take a picture w him. Humble as hell and had a smile on his face the whole time
Jason Williams was a phenom. The NBA was so much fun to watch back then. He was truly underrated as a PG. You want to talk about court vision...He was light years ahead of 80% of the players during his time. I can only think of 2 players who could succeed him, 3...Magic Johnson, John Stockton, and Steve Nash..And he could light you up from beyond the arch. So glad he won a ring as the starting PG in Miami along side Shaq and D. Wade.
Sniff No, he was actually underrated for when he played in the early 2000's. Go ask all his teammates he's ever played with, they will tell you the same thing. Even many players that he played against will tell you the same. Jason Williams could drop dimes like the best of them. He was one of the best at dropping dimes that ever played the game. He's in the top 100 (83rd) of all time for a reason. Also, just image if he played today, he would be even better, because players today look to score first, he could dish the rock to even more of his teammates, and not just a few of them. #FACTS!
The best court vision belonged to jason kidd. Jason williams was underrated a bit, but was a liability when it came to defense and his shooting was meh. Also he was always trying to go out of his way to do highlight reel plays.
Loved this era. Almost every team had a different style. Payton and Kemp, stockton and Malone, hardaway and shaq, Williams and webber, jordan and pippen, carter and mcgrady, robinson and duncan, I could keep going but if you grew up with this era then you know.
Happy for him that he won a championship in 2006 with Miami,he really deserved it along with other greats like A.Mourning , Shaq, D.Wade, G.Peyton etc.
Most unselfish player ever. Would rather make a good pass than score a bucket. Dude was so underrated. Incredible ball handler and amazing court awareness. May be unrivaled.
I think you are right in your praise of him, but let's be candid, he howled after a few passes that he knew put points on the board. I am not taking anything away from him, but "Unselfish" might not be correct. He let us know that he put the points on the board.
@carsonhagler4341 Are you high? Wasn't that good??? He played in the fkn NBA for like 12 years and started for 10 of those seasons... TF are you smoking over there???
His shot selection was not the best. He sometimes took some really bad shots. You dont see that in those highlights. He could have been a better point guard with better decision making.
Everyones’ goal is always to be the best miderange shooter, best free thrower, best 3 point shooter….. so on. But this guy just wanted to be the best passer and give everyone else a chance to shine. An absolute legend 😅
Its the points job to carry and feed. He wants to score lay ups or close the driving lane. Which freezes the defense and opens the passing lanes . Curry is a shooting guard playing point.
My boy had J-Will on his team at a YMCA game here in Orlando. He said he threw him a pass so crisp between defenders that it slipped through his hands out of bounds. This man's court vision is unreal.
@@AyushSingh-ky8ix I dont think the Hall of Fame should necessarily be reserved for freaky stats. Its the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Statistics. I was playing youth ball when this guy was around, damn near every kid who was PG was trying to be like this dude. He kinda transcended the sport.
Christopher Burns That’s really how it is tho...players know what to look out for certain players. Same way role players will space the floor as soon as Kobe, Harden, etc get the ball
I got to meet Scott Pollard just by chance when I was living in Sacramento ( He played Center for the Kings - he's in some of these clips) and I asked him how do you know when to be ready for Jason Williams' passes. He said something along the lines of "you better not be sleepin' or he'll wake you up." I took that as "always be ready."
You I guess you learn to be ready for the call quick. Everyone loves someone who gets them easy buckets so if all you have to do is keep your hands up and watch it’s a more than fair trade
I bet his teammates learned to stay ready for a pass at all times when he had the ball. Even if it looked like he was going up for a layup the ball could come back to you without Jason even looking back. His awareness and perception is off the charts!
Shaq and Webber both said that when you were playing with J Will...you had to be ready for the ball at anytime...even when you think he couldn't possibly pass it to you.

Man Webber was like on Jay’s exact same wavelength. Some of the other guys act surprised or hesitate when they get the ball, but Webber just grabs it and does his thing, perfectly in sync. Incredibly underrated duo, and one of the most fun to watch!
I saw so many of these passes live as the game was happening. I idolized this guy for YEARS!!! such an amazing creative player, he will always be my favorite!!!
Dominichii7 I still remember the first game they ever played each other .. Stockton was one of my favorite players at the time .. but then Jason Williams came in the league and I jumped ship .. Stockton was older at the time .. and I wanted to see j will do all those moves and tear up Stockton .. damn Stockton destroyed him that day .. made white chocolate look like a scrub .. it was pretty cool for old Stockton to show him whats up ..
Look, I know this is supposed to be all about J Will, and we all know he was an amazing passer, but whenever I watch these kinds of passes, I think to myself...I'm just as amazed that the other guy caught the pass! I mean, how do they know it's coming to them? They catch it like they knew the whole time it was coming and where it would be. I find that equally as amazing.
I'm sure they got those kinds of passes all the time during practice. Like Shaq said, when J will has the ball you always gotta be ready for it, even if it seems impossible for him to pass it to you. But yeah you're right, its pretty incredible
He’s the basketball player that all other basketball player’s wish they could play like. When you think about it from that perspective that’s a greater accomplishment than making the HOF or winning an NBA championship(which he has).
i think its a signal for the guy near the rim to be ready to receive his pass and shoot so that the receiver will not be surprised and fumble. But for the other team it means that they fuqed up and get ready to get an earfull on their coach on the next timeout
Not taking nothing away form Jason Williams but he was seen as a great passer because he was palabale. Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Rod Strickland, and Kenny Anderson could have done the same sh$t. They where just aware of the optics. At the end of the day the NBA is a business stay in your lane.
Curry? He’s a shoot first guard, J.Will was a Pure pass first PG. not dissing curry but he couldn’t touch J.Will in passing and I don’t care about stats…Watch his highlights.
@@donkee011 that wasn’t the 7th game. However it was vital to One of Horry’s 7 rings. With a name like big shot Bob. There’s no luck. Now Kobe shoots it, shaq REBOUNDS IT, puts up another shot. 0/2 from both shaq and Kobe. Then the greatest assist of all time from Vlade (former Laker)…to the greatest moment in sports history!
I first saw him when he was young in his career, in a documentary. He practiced in a gym at al hours, and dribbled with gloves on so he couldn't feel the ball as well, but just needed to do it anyway. He took shot after shot at points on the gym wall for hours. Crazy relentless practice hours and work ethic and creativity. I couldn't help but admire the heck out of that story of working so damn hard. And to think that ... it actually paid off! He's such a small guy, and wound up in the NBA competing at top levels! I love the guys for his hard-work ethic, and also for his huge court sense, like Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky, et al. Guys like this FORCE you to play better, or the ball will just pass by you while the whole nation and your mom are wondering WTF is wrong with you.
0:16 "If you don't like that, you don't like NBA basketball!" 0:50 "Off the showtime pass by Jason Williams" 3:51 "You don't do it any better than that" 7:43 "OH WHATA BACK! OUT OF BACKCOURT!" 9:39 "This guy is amazing. I knew he was gonna be good but he's better than I thought" 9:51 "Oh boy what a pass by Jason Williams" 11:10 "Oh fancy pass" 12:27 "To Weber! Ohhhh boy!"
Delaysss he wasn’t. Look him up on wiki, zero all star appearances. I’m not saying he wasn’t at the all star skill level, but he was never actually an all star
The years he was with the Heat he had the best assist to turnover ratio in the league as well. He could absolutely crush it with fundamentals when called upon.
Was looking for this comment - the real credit goes to them - Jasons genius is obvious. At half the frame rate I still couldn't see how he threaded some of those passes!
Like Maravich, he had to be a good shooter as well, and as you can see his defenders never ignored that. I remember a game in which he was one-on-one in the perimeter against Gary Payton, an outstanding defensive player. Some quick jukes and Jayson was on his way to an easy layup. Payton was left absolutely glued flatfooted to the floor!
I miss this guy so much. The man, the myth, the legend, Jason Williams.... Receiving oohs and aahs and ovations even from visiting fans during timeouts.. Winking to the broadcasters courtside during a no look pass, smiling to the crowd, yelling out before a pass. Not just a great basketball player, or pro athlete, but a great Entertainer. He had the bounce pass,no look, alley-oop,shovel , behind the head, standard , and of course his signature around the back bullet passes right on target.... Brought back great memories.Thank you for posting..
When I was a child I always wondering why everytime I watch his video with only 10mins or more made me felt that I watch it like half of an hour. Now I realized that I always rewind every pass he made.
@@cbradquillen you're clueless. You want a cold blooded assassin taking the final clutch shot,it was Kobe Bryant who was the Greatest of Alltime,NOT Jordan. You need to go back to 1989 & 1990 and watch how Jordan FAILED against the bad boy pistons. In 1990,there was NO EXCUSE,Jordan had pippen by his side and they STILL got beaten and thats because the Pistons were already old and way past their prime. The bad boy Pistons,Larry's Celtics,Magics Lakers all SHOWED the world how you beat Jordan and BACKED IT UP by sending him home in the playoffs!! You see kid,when GREAT,ELITE teams existed,jordan couldn't beat ANY of them!! It took all those teams to get old and breakup that FINALLY jordan started to beat a bunch of SOFT,WEAK,SISSY teams in the 90s for those rings,and don't forget that when jordan KNEW he would lose to Hakeems rockets in 94 & 95,he ran away scared to play baseball!! A cowardice act!! Thats My opinion,deal with it kid.
I was in my early 20's watching this guy. It was fun to watch and at times just mesmerizing how crisp and on point all of his passes were! They literally defied laws of physics.... loved watching this guy
u dont actually need too much strength when doing behind the back passes .. it's like a catapult effect .. the only thing u have to practice is the accuracy
I wish there were more players that enjoyed passing more than scoring. Just having one of those talented passers on the court makes the game 100 times more fun to watch

I saw so many of these passes live as the game was happening. I idolized this guy for YEARS!!! such an amazing creative player, he will always be my favorite!!!
The best players aren’t always the ones who score the most points.
lars bevers amen
DAT PART
Was Jason ever the best player on his teams though?
@Kristopher Bailey I guess the original comment is pretty POINTless here then. Eh?
@Illuminati Sheep He did not say that the best players are never the ones who score the most points.
Most assists All time: John Stockton.
Most unique assists All time: White Chocolate.
Dominichii7 I still remember the first game they ever played each other .. Stockton was one of my favorite players at the time .. but then Jason Williams came in the league and I jumped ship .. Stockton was older at the time .. and I wanted to see j will do all those moves and tear up Stockton .. damn Stockton destroyed him that day .. made white chocolate look like a scrub .. it was pretty cool for old Stockton to show him whats up ..
@@dayra6425 best passer in the nba Jason Williams and Mark Jackson Stockton maybe 3rd
Like I said Jason Williams and Mark Jackson everyone else looking up
THIS KID ALMOST LOOKS LIKE PISTOL MARAVICH VERY GOOD JASON
Most unique assists could go to Magic Johnson as well.
Look, I know this is supposed to be all about J Will, and we all know he was an amazing passer, but whenever I watch these kinds of passes, I think to myself...I'm just as amazed that the other guy caught the pass! I mean, how do they know it's coming to them? They catch it like they knew the whole time it was coming and where it would be. I find that equally as amazing.
I'm sure they got those kinds of passes all the time during practice. Like Shaq said, when J will has the ball you always gotta be ready for it, even if it seems impossible for him to pass it to you. But yeah you're right, its pretty incredible
It’s called practice. You and I will drop those passes because we are not in the NBA 😂
You get hit in the face one time, then you remember "be ready for that guy to dish it"
@@421less1 Correct. Either the pain from the ball or the pain from your teammates telling you to pay fucking attention.
If you pay close attention he gives them a quick look (eye contact) before he passes it
"The dunks are the best part of basketball!"
Jason Willians: "hold my passes"
What you did there,, I see it
@@chrispeterman3675 what he did is pretty evident, I am sure you did not see anything else.
For me are the most boring one.
I talk with my friend about this all the time. He rather be a sick passer than a dunker.
@@elhajjmalikel6266 to be a good passer means you need good teamwork And im a streetballer and in streetball Teamwork is rare here
I had no clue Jason was that good. His ball handling and passing are freaking amazing. Very entertaining.
He’s the basketball player that all other basketball player’s wish they could play like. When you think about it from that perspective that’s a greater accomplishment than making the HOF or winning an NBA championship(which he has).
Well u look like u have no clue 😏
One of the best passers of all time, you never see passes like his anymore, and every pass he did was like this. Inspirational.
This never gets old....
Fuck yesh!!
When he was with the Kings, they were the most exciting NBA team since the 80s Lakers. A the judges took their ring. What a fckn heartbreak.
The point guard was Mike Bibby during the Lakers - Kings series
@@shohamziv6846 They shoulda never trade him... dumbass coach
@@aa.gg.4609 Bibby is the better floor general. JWill is all flash...
@@MozTheBoz Well to be fair, J Will won a ring as a starter playing 30+ min per game for the Heat.
Yes they did, they should have won it all that year
“His court awareness is just mind boggling” - YEP
Yep!!! Caught that as well, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Some of his passes look like NBA game glitches. Like how the hell did he get the ball there?!
Almost every time he passed like that , you always hear a “WOOOO” by Jason knowing it was going to be a bucket
my favorite thing lol
Facts.
i think its a signal for the guy near the rim to be ready to receive his pass and shoot so that the receiver will not be surprised and fumble. But for the other team it means that they fuqed up and get ready to get an earfull on their coach on the next timeout
IceSticks He does it after so it’s not a signal. I think they just get open and know he’ll do it.
@@icestick3 Nah he was just enjoying his skills.
There is no scale large enough to grade how high his court awareness was. Un...real.. one of my favorite players to watch highlights of!
The best passer in NBA History, I’ve never seen a NBA player with passing creativity like white chocolate
What bout magic tho
Agree, Magic is the OG of the pass game, but JW’s creativity is unnamatched
@@ar.theartist if you wanna go even more OG look up "Pistol Pete" my man's was a menace
Most creative that’s for sure
Not taking nothing away form Jason Williams but he was seen as a great passer because he was palabale. Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Rod Strickland, and Kenny Anderson could have done the same sh$t. They where just aware of the optics. At the end of the day the NBA is a business stay in your lane.
he has eyes everyone, he knows where everyone is at, his sense of awareness is amazing
Thinking to myself my god that’s a lot of nice passes then noticing there is still 10 minutes left

By the end of this lonnnggg video you think such passing is the norm. That’s a LOT of magical, no look passing.
Best passer/assist NBA history hands down. Curry learned from Jason
lol curry what a joke, curry is not even top 10 passer in NBA right now.
what did curry do to yall
Curry? He’s a shoot first guard, J.Will was a Pure pass first PG. not dissing curry but he couldn’t touch J.Will in passing and I don’t care about stats…Watch his highlights.
@@559jessyr nothing but Curry is barely a true PG. I’m not saying he’s not great, he’s like this new Hybrid position player. 😊

@Anthony Okeiyi Its the great Grant Napear
We never talk about this guy...he was brilliant!
As a lakers fan, I still think this team was incredibly talented. No one has ever passed like Williams since.
For a moment I wondered why you mentioned being a Lakers fan, then I remembered Magic was also a great passer with great court vision.
@@FAlynn92 he mentioned it because the kings were big rivals in this era
That Robert Horry shot in the seventh game, against the Kings, was damn lucky. Still hurts...
@@donkee011 that wasn’t the 7th game. However it was vital to One of Horry’s 7 rings. With a name like big shot Bob. There’s no luck. Now Kobe shoots it, shaq REBOUNDS IT, puts up another shot. 0/2 from both shaq and Kobe. Then the greatest assist of all time from Vlade (former Laker)…to the greatest moment in sports history!
@@GatCat You're right. It was game 4. And good one for the "Divac assisting" :)
love watching him play. that around the back elbow pass will forever be a classic.
I was gonna say, how could you leave out his famous elbow pass?
Literally saved the best for last...
I first saw him when he was young in his career, in a documentary. He practiced in a gym at al hours, and dribbled with gloves on so he couldn't feel the ball as well, but just needed to do it anyway. He took shot after shot at points on the gym wall for hours. Crazy relentless practice hours and work ethic and creativity. I couldn't help but admire the heck out of that story of working so damn hard. And to think that ... it actually paid off! He's such a small guy, and wound up in the NBA competing at top levels! I love the guys for his hard-work ethic, and also for his huge court sense, like Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky, et al. Guys like this FORCE you to play better, or the ball will just pass by you while the whole nation and your mom are wondering WTF is wrong with you.
Great comment on one of the most overlooked ballhandlers in the NBA. Glad he‘s being recognized!
Dude played with randy moss in high school
0:16 "If you don't like that, you don't like NBA basketball!"
0:50 "Off the showtime pass by Jason Williams"
3:51 "You don't do it any better than that"
7:43 "OH WHATA BACK! OUT OF BACKCOURT!"
9:39 "This guy is amazing. I knew he was gonna be good but he's better than I thought"
9:51 "Oh boy what a pass by Jason Williams"
11:10 "Oh fancy pass"
12:27 "To Weber! Ohhhh boy!"
the trust of your teammates to always be expecting a pass is so hard to learn and incredibly helpful to have
These are those passes you'd never do in a REAL game. This guy was special man.
Jwill only NBA player to get elected an all star game and go out there in his pregame interview an say" yeah I might shoot once "
He was never an all star
@@georgeworshington4120 he was. You should watch the highlights
Delaysss he wasn’t. Look him up on wiki, zero all star appearances. I’m not saying he wasn’t at the all star skill level, but he was never actually an all star
@@georgeworshington4120 I stand corrected I think it was the rising stars game he was in tho when he made the elbow pass
Delaysss I mean he was insane and probably should’ve been an all star but never was unfortunately
I can't finish this video because I keep rewatching every play...
Exactly lol
You gotta get to the end the last one is legendary!!
yea, I can’t see the ball’s trajectory in some of the highlights 🤣🤣
We need another Jason Williams in the league today. It would really spice up the NBA

Idk about that dude his plays are flashy but his numbers aren’t
yeap!!
He should be a Hall of Famer! One of the flashiest players ever and won one ring as well. So many fans around the world.
The years he was with the Heat he had the best assist to turnover ratio in the league as well. He could absolutely crush it with fundamentals when called upon.
I suggest that all his fans in the world go to the league to petition and let him enter the Hall of Fame! He is definitely worth having this title!!

"Get some space and do your job. I will get the ball to you."
"How?"
"You'll see."
Kuroko no basket
His chemistry with Webber was really uncanny. As long as Webber was cutting the lane or running with him, Williams would know where to find him.
Always stay ready.
No, sometimes they wouldn't see!
Jason Williams have a good vision inside the court I think? he's like amm tetsuya HAHAHAHA
Can we give props to his teammates who were able to catch all these passes without dropping or not catching it
Was looking for this comment - the real credit goes to them - Jasons genius is obvious. At half the frame rate I still couldn't see how he threaded some of those passes!
Like Maravich, he had to be a good shooter as well, and as you can see his defenders never ignored that. I remember a game in which he was one-on-one in the perimeter against Gary Payton, an outstanding defensive player. Some quick jukes and Jayson was on his way to an easy layup. Payton was left absolutely glued flatfooted to the floor!
White chocolate is underrated fr 💯 unselfish, team player !
His shot selection is what kept him from being a legend.
These are highlights they don’t tell you anything about a player
He's very selfish because he'd rather pass than shoot
İts not about being unselfish he liked passing more than scorring and in some situations that makes him selfish
He just really wanted to contribute to a winning team, he seems pretty humble as well. 🤷🏽♂️
Jason Williams never look his wife in her eyes.
lmfao
🤣 No look proposal
😂😂😂
Lmao thanks for that one!
Still hits the right spot!!
I miss this guy so much. The man, the myth, the legend, Jason Williams....
Receiving oohs and aahs and ovations even from visiting fans during timeouts..
Winking to the broadcasters courtside during a no look pass, smiling to the crowd, yelling out before a pass. Not just a great basketball player, or pro athlete, but a great Entertainer.
He had the bounce pass,no look, alley-oop,shovel , behind the head, standard , and of course his signature around the back bullet passes right on target....
Brought back great memories.Thank you for posting..
Just amazing, this seems to be a guy who loves the game and is such an enabler for his team
not sure if you would watch an NBA or a streetball tournament game when this dude played
simply amazing and tremendously fun 🔥
Jason was fun to watch, the league needs more showboating no-look passers, the fans want entertainment, not boring 3 point shooting.
Exactly
You can fancy pass all you want but those 3 points are what wins games
xero 9ravity fax
He actually shot allot of terrible 3s with the kings
Hasn't been anyone like that since prime Rondo around 8 years ago
When I was a child I always wondering why everytime I watch his video with only 10mins or more made me felt that I watch it like half of an hour. Now I realized that I always rewind every pass he made.
Jason Williams was the best passer in NBA history. Period.
"William's to Webber"

Underrated duo.
Jason Williams was an artist on the court. He was a special player; a joy to watch, teammates loved him, and great for the league.

@@cbradquillen you're clueless. You want a cold blooded assassin taking the final clutch shot,it was Kobe Bryant who was the Greatest of Alltime,NOT Jordan. You need to go back to 1989 & 1990 and watch how Jordan FAILED against the bad boy pistons. In 1990,there was NO EXCUSE,Jordan had pippen by his side and they STILL got beaten and thats because the Pistons were already old and way past their prime. The bad boy Pistons,Larry's Celtics,Magics Lakers all SHOWED the world how you beat Jordan and BACKED IT UP by sending him home in the playoffs!! You see kid,when GREAT,ELITE teams existed,jordan couldn't beat ANY of them!! It took all those teams to get old and breakup that FINALLY jordan started to beat a bunch of SOFT,WEAK,SISSY teams in the 90s for those rings,and don't forget that when jordan KNEW he would lose to Hakeems rockets in 94 & 95,he ran away scared to play baseball!! A cowardice act!! Thats My opinion,deal with it kid.
I was in my early 20's watching this guy. It was fun to watch and at times just mesmerizing how crisp and on point all of his passes were! They literally defied laws of physics.... loved watching this guy
