If it wasn’t for a tragic motorcycle accident it be a very likely scenario Jay Williams would still be playing in the NBA.
Current ESPN college basketball analyst Williams reminisced about his NBA days and had some very interesting tales as a Chicago Bull.
In a recent interview with Brilliant Idiots podcast hosts Charlamagne the God and Andrew Schultz, Williams talked about some of the more outrageous gambling situations he witnessed.
Now Williams was the second pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, being selected only after former NBA superstar Yao Ming. In his three years with the Bulls, Williams watched teammates bet on dice games to $20,000 games on rock, paper, scissors.
Williams explains these money games were a common NBA experience and seen players withdraw large sums of money up to a $100,000 in duffle bags. The former Duke star declined to say how much he lost, saving it for his new upcoming book.
