It's Point GUARDS, Not Guns!!
Timberwolves Den —
Starting PG for your Los Angeles Clippers? That's Baron "Ghetto as fuck" Davis Your newly signed backup? White Chocolate. I...I...there aren't enough words... P.S. I found this vid from what appears to be the Rookie/Sophomores game from that time period. First off, the announcers are a clown. But more importantly, notice some of the names. LaFrentz, Ratliff, Odom, Griffin. A lot of winners in that group.
White Chocolate Is A Clipper
The Howeva Files —
Want to feel old? Remember when Jason Williams was the cool new rookie in the league, dazzling NBA audiences with no-look passes and an invisible third eye for pinpoint alley-oop passes? That was 10 years ago. Cut to the present day: Jason Williams is a veteran, completely devoid of his fun antics (thanks a LOT, Hubie Brown), has a championship ring, and no longer has that funny parted haircut. He also is the latest person to be brought to the new-look Clippers, a team whose roster already everyone has lost track of. Ah well, we can always look back, can't we? Jason Williams tops my list of "players who I totally ...

Clippers Take On One Year of “White Chocolate”
SportsHubLA —
[image] It may take Clippers fans half of the 2008-09 season to get familiar with all the new faces on the roster. First, it was Eric Gordon. Then Baron Davis. Then Marcus Camby. Next came Ricky Davis, followed by… retreads Jason Hart and Brian Skinner… today, Steve Novak… and just when I thought I could catch my breath… The team inked former Heat, Grizzlies and Kings guard Jason Williams to a one-year contract ...
Farewell, Oh White Chocolatey One
Upside and Motor —
Jason Williams, despite signing a contract with the Clippers earlier this summer, is retiring. Williams has always been an incredibly interesting player to me, and the transformation that took place over his career was truly amazing. Still, most of us have seen this coming ever since 2006, as' White Chocolate' never returned to his former self after a series of injury concerns. I wish him well, and a thank you, for gems like this: Take it easy, man. A footnote on a footnote: where does this put the Clips' back-up point guard situation? Baron will obviously be on the floor more ...
150 Reasons to love the game of basketball
Peter Robert Casey - The interplay of basketball, social media, and marketing —
In spirit of my 150th blog entry, I decided to canvass the Twittersphere and probe my Facebook friends list to come up with "150 reasons to love the game of basketball." For those of you who share in my addiction of Dr. Naismith's creation, the aggregated and alphabetized list ...
My Dream: Jason Williams in a Sixers Uniform
The House That Glanville Built —
So you know how the Sixers are in need of a veteran point guard to mentor Jrue Holiday? Andre Miller seems all but gone, and none of the names out there really jump out at you. Sure, Jamaal Tinsley can ball, but the Pacers distance themselves from him for a reason. Bobby Jackson is intriguing, especially to mentor the defensive-minded Holiday, but injuries have ravaged him a lot in his career. ...
The anti-Weis
The Stankoniforous Files —
You all know Mr. Weis right. You may not know the name but you know the frame. Real quick, Vince Carter, 2000 Olys. Weis was the guy whom Vince jumped over . Now you know who it is don'tcha. Mr. Weis was drafted by the Knicks but never left Europe to come to this side of the pond. That was the same worry the T-Wolves had about Ricky Rubio until now ...
'Net reaction: Orlando signs 'White Chocolate'
Ball Don't Lie —
The Magic have signed free agent guard Jason Williams. GM Otis Smith says "White Chocolate" will provide depth and leadership to the team's backcourt. But here's what they're saying out in the ether about the move ... Tania Ganguli, Orlando Sentinel: "[Stan Van Guny] said Williams and Anthony Johnson(notes) will battle in camp for the minutes. So don't be so sure Johnson is definitely this team's No. 2. 'I think there's some real similarities between he and Rafer in that I think you have guys that are in their 30s, veteran guys who are a little bit older, but have ...
The top 10 finest All-Star moments of the last decade
Ball Don't Lie —
OK, we know the first decade of the 21st century doesn't
really end until 2011. We think. But we also know there have been 10 full NBA
seasons played since the phrase "Y2K" was on all of our lips
(1999-2000), and here at Ball Don't Lie we've decided to use this as an
offseason excuse to rank some of the best and not-so-brightest of the 10
campaigns in question. The result? Why, top 10 lists!
It's
a huge heap of nonsense. You have to sit through tired musical acts, lots of
silly intros, tons of gushing commentary, and you might not ever get a payoff.
The players could be hungover, the dunks can bounce off the back iron. The ...
