Man I used to love watching Jason Williams. Definitely one of the most entertaining players Ive ever seen. Its a shame hes no longer in the league though.

Man, he was entertaining to watch when he was with the Kings. I used to tune in to watch Kings games whenever they were on NBC just to watch him play. Remember how he always used to attempt a pull-up three whenever the Kings had a three-on-one fast break? Unfortunately Hubie and the rest of his coaches put the shackles on his game and made him into another boring, generic NBA PG. Why Hubie, why?

By putting on the shackles, do you mean finally made him an effective NBA player. For the Kings, Williams averaged just over 6 assists while giving up 3 turnovers and shooting 38%. By his second year in Memphis he was getting over 8 assists with 2 turnovers. The Kings also improved by 6 wins after trading Williams for the infinitely less swagged, Mike Bibby. J-will was always exciting, but if anything, I think those lessons he learned from Hubie should have come years earlier.

Ehhh... I've seen Anstey in the street before, and can't say he was giving off much "cred".

Although, he wasn't near a Proton at the time. Maybe that's what give him his powers?

In terms of pure excitement...imagine Jason Williams playing for the Clippers. Oh dear. That team might not ever dominate the league, but JWill to BGriff would dominate ESPN every single day.
