"LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jason Williams announced his retirement Friday, ending his 10-year NBA career less than two months after signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Williams, who helped the Miami Heat to the NBA title in 2006, averaged 11.4 points, 6.3 assists and shot 39.6 percent from the floor in 679 games.

The point guard was drafted seventh overall pick in 1998 out of Florida by the Sacramento Kings and averaged 12.8 points and six assists as a rookie.

Williams joined the Memphis Grizzlies three years later, and in 2001-02 averaged 14.8 points and eight assists. In four seasons with the Grizzlies, Williams became the club's career assists leader.

He played for the Heat from 2005-2008, and started all 23 playoff games in Miami's title run. He signed with the Clippers on Aug. 7."

I'm quite surprised by his decision. Jason was a good point guard and his days in Sacramento were great (especially with such great passing skills). Maybe the injuries have taken a toll on his body or he just doesn't have it in him to keep playing bball anymore.

goodbye! white chocolate..thanks for the memories.
 
Yes, i'm surprised too, but he won't be irreplaceable... Especially after in his first seasons, he was known for his passes in the face of his teammates and in the public^^.
 
Thank You J-Will for your years in Sacramento. Williams dazzled Sacramento fans and the NBA for that matter with his natural flare of showmanship.

Williams, Webber and Divac...

What a great Sacramento Kings.
 
Aside from Jordan, it was really J-Will who brought me to addiction level of NBA fandom. i would watch the highlights hoping that i see some J Will sick passes. And of course, this was '99 '00 of course we saw a lot of such (And yes, turnovers as well)

Greatest flashy point guard ever! Glad that he got a ring as well!
