With his fancy game of breath-taking court-to-court passes and incredible playmaking abilities, Jason Williams will be best remembered as one of the most colorful point guards in NBA history. Williams, who is popularly known as the “White Chocolate”, was part of the showtime era with the Sacramento Kings together with Chris Webber from 1998 to 2001. The 6-1, former University of Florida star, who was the 7th pick over-all of the Kings in the 1998 draft, compiled career averages of 10.5 ppg, 5.9 apg and 2.3 rpg in 788 total games with the Kings, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies (twice). He was a member of the 2006 Heat championship squad. Williams has finally called it a day after playing 27 games this season with the Magic and The Grizzlies, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
“Point guard Jason Williams announced his retirement Monday, ending his 12-year NBA career and a brief reunion with the Grizzlies this season.
“Williams, 35, signed with Memphis as a free agent on Feb. 7 but missed the team's final 17 regular-season games with a sore lower back. In addition to two stints with the Griz, Williams played for the Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. The 6-1 guard won the 2006 NBA Championship with Miami.”
