Man, I love these guys. I was so lucky to be attending UF at this time. Jason Williams only played 1/2 year at UF and it happened to be my freshman year. The internet was still in its early years and it was way before social media but I remember this buzz on campus of "You've got to see this guy play". I went to his first game and he lived up to the hype. I remember he did one of his famous "Russian twist" no look passes from the 3 point line to an open guy in the low post. It was awesome. I also played a lot of pick up basketball. Later, I remember being in the Florida gym in February and Jason Williams was there playing with us. I was thinking...doesn't Florida have an away game tonight. It was then we learned he was kicked off the team for testing positive for weed.
I’m a UF grad and lifelong Heat fan. One of my favorite possessions is a poster of Udonis dunking while Joakim Noah (on the Bulls) is in the background. Go gators!
I'm from Michigan so I'll always support the state teams but I messed with Florida hard back then. Teddy Dupay was nice but Brett Nelson was my guy. I was pissed when Billy got Anthony Roberson from Saginaw underneath Tom Izzo nose. Anthony was always the best player in the state for our 2002 graduating class, and we had a few McDonald's All Americans in the state.
I had class with these dudes and the football players. They never disrupted class but they just sat in the back and go to sleep. Mike would walk by Turlington plaza around 10am with some big ass superstar sunglasses. Man I wish I could relive Gainesville back in Fall 98'.
You can tell Donovan is a Rick Pitino prodigy, he talks like him still to this day. I as a UK fan wanted Donovan to come to UK after Pitino left soo bad man. And if Jason Williams would have played for Kentucky he would have fit the mold so well in that blue and white. Kentucky is full of those ol country white boys that can hoop, and ik he was from west Virginia, but he would have fit right in. Fortunately Kentucky got Calipari who ended up going on a run unrivaled by 99 percent of any other coach in the history of the game. Donovan will always be one of the best to ever do though, he has had some really tough Florida squads man
Coach Jones is a lifetime friend of mine and I remember talking to him after the move from Marshall to UF. DJ would excuse me from the phone to watch his office because Jason had just came in…. lol Played with the coaches at MU in the weekly pick up games….
LOL PJ has a net worth of $10,000,000, Spree made $97,000,000 in his career, turned down a $21,000,000 contract, never played again, has a net worth of $150,000. Holla atcha boi. He's in the DAN category. 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Jason Kidd was 2 years ahead of Jason Williams. Kidd got drafted in June 1994 after playing 2 years at Cal, the same month Williams graduated high school. He got that mixed up. Kidd graduated High School in '92... Williams would have only been a Sophomore in high school when Kidd was a senior.
Crazy title
Ong😭
Ong😭
😂😂😂
Outta pocket for real
Super Pause
I love Billy Donovan's laugh, its so communicative
But his players probably don’t 🥲
never met anyone that loved to hoop more than Jason Williams he was on the court every day somewhere, pickup games even on game day
This is so dope!! Especially as a Gators fan.

Loved this episode fellaas, love from 🇦🇺
Such a fun team to watch. I’m not a Gators fan, but I definitely was during that run.
It suckd being an Ohio State fan though. LOL

Great episode
Love these guys that was a good interview

Not mentioning how Coach Meyers was run out of Florida due to having recruited so many players who ended up on police blotters, huh?

Left hand cigarettes 😂
How does this not have more ciews
The channel is fairly new.
Remember Teddy Dupay??? Dude was the truth!
White boy hooper…. He was trouble off the court though.
@@Baloothepibble couldn’t get it together unfortunately
@@Boss3Nate I’m a UK fan so I watched him knock down 3’s too many times. I really liked his game.
For those that don't know
PJ. Carlisimo is the coach my boy Sprewell yoked up
LOL PJ has a net worth of $10,000,000, Spree made $97,000,000 in his career, turned down a $21,000,000 contract, never played again, has a net worth of $150,000. Holla atcha boi. He's in the DAN category. 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
@@jeffinphx517a net worth of 150.000 puts you in the 1 procent richest people in the world
Watching from Nap Town
I've been dreaming for years now that Donovan would return to UF.
Udonis sneakers are crazyyyy
Mike Miller sound so similar to the guy who does the off the porch interviews lol.
Billy looks great in Red… pause Louisvilles next coach!!! 😂
We gotta get him here IMMEDIATELY.
Pause with the caption title lol WTH

Imagine if JWill were never drafted
Y’all crazy for that title and thumbnail. You know damn well what that’s implying.
⏸️ the title😂😂😂
The Jason Kidd and Jason Williams story timeline doesn’t match up at all
J-Will was in 10th Grade when J-Kidd was in 12th. Very possible they were getting recruited at same time
Who gives a shit? Do you remember every single detail of everything you did in life? U bum
Ayoooooo
Top craic
These are great stories, but Williams went to college in '95. Kidd entered the NBA in '94. Donovan's memory is off.
He be getting high with Joakim during the off-season 🤣🤣🤣
It’s called a gap year. He went to ft union and Donovan actually mentioned it in this clip
@jonathancasselman4401 Uh, check your math.
@@jonathancasselman4401 Williams graduated high school in '94🤦🏼
He said “I think” before he said the statement. Relax he been in the game a long time and has to remember every player lol
...pause.
This makes no sense. Jason Kidd was 2 years ahead of Jason Williams.
Pod cool but ud sound an talk just lik miami frm city girls
Gator 4 lyfe
Laugh sus
Worthless story by coach. Spit it out
