California points have a much better record than the vaunted playgound points of New York. So Williams is trying to help the next generation in mentoring high school phenom Brandon Jennings, straight out of Compton, just as Jason Kidd is mentoring him.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kidd Karma)</div><div class='quotemain'>6-1 lefty point guard, slick handles, similar to Kenny Anderson.</div> i recently read a slam article on kenny anderson. very interesting. </p> "when i was young and too stupid to know better, i played a pick-up game with Anderson....he would have been 14, already revered...... at one point i was guarding him on a switch. he dribbled toward the elbow and at the moment when i was expecting him to make a move, he flipped the ball up with his left hand from about 12 feet away and it went in. i said to my boy, Ra, "Damn! i didn't know he could shoot so well lefty." Ra looked at me funnny and said, "but he's left-handed. he's been playing this whole game shooting and passing with his right hand." Remeber: 14 years old."</p> - Dave Zirin</p>reading that left me in awe.
