Does anyone remember the strike shortened 99 season. The Kings were coming off another tough yr,, but had made some moves in the off season and picked up a pg from Fl in the draft. All of a sudden, Webber and the Kings were on fire and were the talk of the league. But wait, was it webber and the Kings or was it Jason Williams and the Kings. Now- i never got the chance to see Pistol Pete play, but that year, bar none, Jwill was the most exciting player i had ever seen. He would shoot 3s 5 ft behind the line, he crossed over Gpayton, and made countless other dazzling moves. He helped lead the Kings into the playoffs against the favorites that year- the Utah Jazz. They took the Jazz to 5 games- they could won if divac had hit a hook with seconds left. Then he disappeared. JWill was never the same after that year. RIP JASON WILLIAMS. <font color=""Red""> Thread title changed because it was very misleading. -Swish15</font>
Thread title was extremely misleading. You should change it to "RIP White Chocolate". It's still kinda misleading, but it refers more to his playing style dying. I actually thought that one of the many Jason Williams had died before I opened this thread. He was an exciting player, but he was reckless. Making Sportscenter should never be a player's top priority. He committed too many turnovers, took too many pull up threes, and overused the crossover. He was amazing to watch, but he's matured now and is a better player. Still, I do miss White Chocolate.

His assist/turnover ratio actually improved dramatically within the few seasons he was in Memphis, but his shot selection, like the three pointers from five feet behind the line, is still horrible. He'll always have a little flare in his game. If you watch enough games, you'll see Jason Williams throw the occassional behind the back pass or cross someone over. Selfishly, I wish he was still a little reckless though. His style was in many ways counterproductive, but it was fun as hell to watch.
