It is the unspoken duty of sports leagues around the world to keep their fans entertained during quarantine. Treading a similar path, the NBA recently posted a crazy highlight reel of Jason Williams aka ‘White Chocolate.’ The fans loved the video and registered their loving comments for Williams. Furthermore, LeBron James was totally hyped after watching the video and shared it on his Instagram account as well.

The ‘White Chocolate’ pulled together his teammates with his crazy set of passes. Coming into the NBA as a first-round pick, he managed to impress everyone with his talent. Though his numbers were not always mind boggling, his presence on the court certainly dizzied the defenders. He had a flair for passing and often sent defenders the wrong way with his unpredictability. 

His best-ever season came when he joined the Miami Heat for the 2005-06 season. ‘White Chocolate’ averaged only 12.3 points per game in the season, but started all of Miami’s playoff games. Upon winning his first career title with the Heat, the team bestowed him with great honor. In 2007, the Miami Heat named Williams as one of their top 25 players of all time.
