Jason Williams Highlights

In the NBA All-Star in 2000, during the Rookie Challenge, Jason Williams made one of the most exciting moves in basketball history. In the counter-attack of his team, Jason Williams decided to pass a ball to his teammate Raef LaFrentz with his elbow, something that was not seen before in any basketball game.

When he arrived in Oakland in 2000 at the Rookie Challenge, Jason Williams was already known for spectacular assists that were often not following the laws of geometry.

In his team’s counter-attack, Jason showed his incredible creativity when he moved the ball to one of his teammates with his left hand behind his back, and then with his right elbow changed the direction and sent it to the opposite side, right into the hands of Raef LaFrentz. In the first moments, even after several replays, from several angles, it was difficult to figure out what actually happened and how the ball was sent in one and ended in the other direction. At that moment when everyone realized what Jason Williams actually did, fans were thrilled that they just saw one of the “craziest” moves ever. It remains only unfortunate that the play didn’t finish with a spectacular slam dunk of Raef LaFrentz because James Posey decided to foul him and stop phenomenal team play by Jason Williams.

Although the move is made in  All-Star game, this does not diminish the genius move of Jason “White Chocolate” Williams.

“You saw this move, and don’t just ask me to repeat it. I won’t know”
