I'm here with my co-host. I am Jimmy Wissman. Thank you for joining us. Thank you so much. Hope you've been enjoying our scumbag of the week lately. Hope Chad Curtis was a blast for you. But this week, we are moving on to a bigger scumbag. Figuratively.

So fun. And literally, because he's enormous. He is giant. We are moving on to Jason Williams. Yes! Let's just get right off the bat. There's like five Jason Williams. This is not the little white Jason Williams that does behind...

No, it is not white chocolate. No, no. Not the guy that does behind the back passes on YouTube all the time. Fuck the Kings. Yeah, not that guy. There's another Jay Williams. Not him either.

It's not him. Strike two. I don't have his social security number. But this is Jason Williams. The biggest scumbag ever named Jay Williams. Born February 22nd 1968. My birthday! There you go. Another Jay

Dub born on February 22nd. A fine man born with you. I'm not as much of a scumbag. I would hope not. Of course. You would be in or recently out of prison if you were.

So this gentleman here. Drinking beer for you tonight, Jason Williams. That's, oh my goodness. So this Jason Williams, here he is. He was a menace,

basically. Jason Williams, like I said, born in 1968. He was born in South Carolina where his family seemed to go

back and forth. Ended up moving, growing up on the lower east side in new york yes uh which is odd this is at a time where like now the lower east side nobody grows up there it's like you know there's some yuppies business and like some wall street guys and like four hipsters that are like really rich and studios and that sort of thing and a lot of chinese right you can't afford to raise kids there now little italy's like half a block now and it is it's like half a block and it's there you know it's ridiculous and there's guys and it's it's probably hipsters trying to sell you linguine with clams it's just awful so and some sort of craft beer jason williams is uh is half black and he's half polish and italian which is the Lower East Side connection.

He hung out when he was a kid, hung out with all the Italians, he said. Italian tough guys, as he put it in his book. We'll be referencing his book, Loose Balls. I wish I had made that title up. He wrote a book. Best title ever. Loose Balls.

Yes. And he is a loose ball. We'll say that much. Loose cannon, loose everything, loose morals. Son of a book. Best title ever. Loose Balls. Yes. And he is a loose ball. Yeah. We'll say that much. Loose cannon, loose everything, loose morals. He is a loose son of a bitch. Loose son of a bitch. So we'll be referencing his book a lot.

It's Loose Balls that came out in 2000. It was like a bestseller too. And it's him just basically saying, check out what a badass I am for like 200 pages. Look at how much of a fuck up I am. So he grows up on the lower east side on the lower east side there he grows large uh to six foot ten yeah about 250 pounds he's a big cat grew up near a nuclear plant yeah big old power forward indian point might have leaked down to him i'm not sure uh he went to saint john's university in new york was a red was one of the red men there in the 80s

and the uh late 80s that That was post-Big East explosion. We had all the Ewing and, oh, at that point, Mourning. This was like Twin Towers, Mourning, Mutombo times and things like that. So interesting time there. Gets drafted in 1990 by the Phoenix Suns. Interesting, right? Doesn't end up going there. Number 21 overall in the first round.

Gets traded to Philly for a pick and, like, three basketballs and a pump. You know, one of those hand pumps. Who else came from Philly in that trade? It was for picks. Really? That's all it was? It was for, like, picks for, like, 93 even. Okay.

I think they might have got, like, you know. Something for later. Yeah, they might have. Phoenix is, they're horrible at drafting. Yeah. Besides Amari Stoudemire. This may have been the best thing that they ever did in their draft, though. It at drafting. Yeah. Besides Amari Stoudemire. This may have been the best thing that they ever did

in their draft though. It's interesting. Just getting them the fuck out. Well, and it's so funny because all they needed was a rebounding big man through the 90s,

the Suns, and they would have been a lot better. But maybe they kept the people on the streets safe by getting them out. That's true. I'm sure the people

at Phoenix were grateful. Maybe they did the public a service. Sending him to the East Coast. He gets traded to Philly, where he settles in there with the Sixers, and he got along with everybody, hung out with Barkley.

He was a Barkley drinking buddy and all that. That makes sense. That's what you want. Yeah. But his early family, he's got some issues here that he's still, his early family, from what we've heard about,

apparently one of his brothers shot one of his other brothers. That's so crazy. There is continuous gunplay that's going to come up with his family, with him. There's just a lot of gunplay going on. If there's anything in constant, it's abandoned children and guns. That's constant. Punching and gunplay. Like, it's just, you're lucky if you got punched by Jason Williams.

So, yeah, his mother apparently shot at his father one time when he when she heard that he was cheating on her uh so you shoot at the person obviously absolutely that's the reaction right he he said in his book that apparently one of his sisters contracted hiv from a transfusion yes and then gave the hiv to his other sister when they shared a needle which i hate that i laugh at that good lord damn funny good god the tragedy i mean this is your sister on accident but still good well i mean yeah they're sharing needles the fact that the two sisters are both using and this is in the early 90s when Easy dies of it. That shit is super aware.

Yeah. And she knows she's got it. And she's just spiking it up. The 90s was just the decade of AIDS. Yeah. I mean, you knew about AIDS. Absolutely. We've all watched the real world.

Sure. We watched Pedro wilt away before our eyes. And we knew AIDS, man. We knew Magic Johnson had AIDS. That kid that had AIDS. And he had it then. He had it then. Yeah. Well we knew AIDS, man. Yeah. We knew Magic Johnson had AIDS. That kid that had AIDS. And he had it then. He had it then. Yeah.

That was when it came out. That's when he actually had it still. That was then. So yeah, an interesting time. His altercations and his run-ins

with the law start early. Yeah. They do start in college actually in 1988. Well, let's go back to his sister contracting HIV and AIDS from her sister. They both die,

and they have children. Yes. And what happens to those children? Jason Williams adopts them in his rookie year. Perfect guy to watch over them. So now they have a role model, at least. That's good. A guy with a career, at least. He's got a career.

At the time, this is a guy, you're like, this is going to be someone that's going to be dependable. He's going to be a rock the time, this is a guy, you're like, this is going to be someone that's going to be dependable. He's going to be a rock if you want this guy to raise your kids. Only a couple, only like a one red flag before that in 88

when he attacked some spectators at a St. John's game with a metal folding chair. I love it. Yes. Yes, that was a good one. Like fucking WWE.

That's awesome. I don't know if it was like if he just picked one up off the bench and ran into the stands. He saw a lot of Bobby Knight. He's like, this is the best weapon here. Maybe.

Or if it was afterwards, they were heckling him and he picked up a medal. I don't know where he got a medal chair from. It's a cactus jack. He's just carrying one around. What the hell's going on here? But yeah, he spent the night in the can apparently. And then the charges dropped. So no big deal.

I mean, he was a big superstar at St. John's. They were whatever. They'll figure it out. So things are quiet for a little while. He's a pretty non-factor as a rookie, honestly. His first couple seasons. His numbers were terrible. Really, his first couple seasons, he was just a non-factor.

He's 6'10". He's averaging less than three rebounds a game. I mean, you know, four points a game. He's just hovering. His free throw percentage was the worst his entire career. Yeah, he's never a good, never a good, not Shaq level, not like Wilt Chamberlain, but 60%. Right.

You know, come on. I mean. A couple seasons in the 50s, but. Yeah, I mean, Tim Duncan's not a great free throw shooter, but Tim Duncan averages 22 points a game. So we'll let that go. Who gives a shit? Yeah, he's actually scoring also.

So Jason Williams was doing nothing, basically. In 1992, January of 92, they're in Chicago hanging out with his buddy, the Chuckster. Yes. Mr. Barkley,

as we know to get in a brawl or two. Apparently, there was some sort of altercation. There was an argument and he smashed a beer mug atop a fellow patron's head. That was that. No charges came of it.

I don't know. This guy was a good... He said he had a knife, apparently. All right. A bunch of people heard the guy say he had a knife. So, hey, Jason Williams saves the day. I'm coming through with the... You do the beer mug.

Right. You're having fun with Charles Barkley. Sometimes a beer mug goes over something. In my head, I'm picturing it being like at the Yard House, like one of those tourist beers, like the three foot beer. I want him to like

swing that like a Louisville against a dude's head. I'm picturing it like a saloon style. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something thick. Something meaty. Yeah, something really meaty.

Something that'll crack a skull. That was not the first, that's only the first time in 92 that trouble happens here. I'll bet that knife never materialized either.

I doubt it. The guy was probably, honestly, scared shitless of an enormous Jason Williams. Yeah, wielding a fucking beer mug. Holding anything. And Charles Barkley's not a small guy either. No, no, no, no. And he's as wide as a house. So, I mean, these two together, he was probably scared.

He was probably like, hey, man, I got a knife. Like, trying to get it. And the guy was like, oh, yeah? That's a a good point and then smash over the head with a beer mug you end up so that's possible uh then six months later the pattern starts to emerge a little more um he beats up two men in a bar um i think i'm not sure if this is the one he owned or not but uh he asked these two gentlemen to leave the bar correct if it wasn't his establishment i don't know what the hell place he has doing it right i'm the biggest guy here leave right this is my place yes i play for the sixers i'm gonna dare you to tell me it's not yeah i don't get it so

um anyway these two guys uh they he says they challenge him to a fight they go outside um now he's enormous first of all he maces them first just to even the score even the score mace him up and then beats the shit out of him afterwards which is a good progression i think you know if you're gonna it's a good way to start it he softened him up a little bit hey guys hey and then just started attacking them i like you see me yeah it's harder to see a man that's that big with mace in your eyes i I would say so. While he's raining giant blows upon you. I wish I could have seen that fight, though. That sounds awesome.

So this fight, actually, there is charges are later dropped, but there is a lawsuit. One man sues him for millions. Sues him for like $3 million, I believe, or something in that neighborhood. It was multiple million dollars. Settled for $30,000. This guy settled for like a3 million, I believe, or something in that neighborhood. It was multiple million dollars. Settled for $30,000. This guy settled for like a new Corolla. Back then, that was probably, you know,

that's like a Jeep Cherokee in 90s. So this guy settles for a new car for a mid-sized SUV. And Jason Williams apparently thrilled with the outcome. He tells Sports Illustrated later that, quote, it was the best $30,000 I ever spent. I beat his fat ass. If I've got a bunch of millions of dollars

and somebody picks a fight with me and I'm his size, I may say that exact same quote. It's pretty funny. And that's another thing that keeps coming up is until the actual, the incident that we're all going to get into here, he owns a lot of shit before that. Like in his book, his whole book is about, I beat this guy's ass, I almost shot this guy in the face.

The whole book's like that. So he owns a lot. So now he gets traded to the Nets in 92. This is when the career takes a big uptick. Well, not yet. I mean, being that he gets to New Jersey, who was he playing with there? Was it Nelson? Was it Don Nelson, the coach there?

I don't think so. I don't remember who the coach was in New Jersey. I don't know. We're talking. But whoever the coach was in his first couple of years there... Early 90s. Yeah, it was pretty brutal. It was bleak.

But once they started getting like kittles... Yeah, things started coming along. Derek Coleman came in. Right, Derek Coleman. That whole crew started coming together and the Nets became a force. So during this time of the building of the Nets in 1994, after a game, he was in the parking lot

with some other players hanging out, apparently showing off his handgun. Crazy. Another pattern that will emerge. Crazy that the man has a gun on him. It's a.40 cal. He's got a.40 caliber handgun. He fires it over the heads of his teammates

for some reason. I don't know why. Hey, y'all, watch this. Gets taken in. The most hillbilly fucking thing in the world shooting guns in a parking lot but in a metropolitan place like new jersey that's fucking absurd the meadowlands parking lot i mean yeah the nets didn't draw that well but there were some cars there and people someone could have got shot i mean good god it wasn't that much of a ghost town uh he denies firing the gun. I had it.

I was waving it around. I gave it to, you know, I gave it to Benoit Benjamin and he started shooting it off. I don't know. Like, what the fuck is going on? Nice reference. I like that.

You know, what the hell's going on here? So he's charged. There were 19 people that listened to this that know who the fuck Benoit Benjamin is. Good,

because he's going to come up again later, actually. Benoit Benjamin does come up again later. He gets charged with reckless endangerment. Let's see, what was it? Reckless endangerment, unlawful possession of a firearm. Charges were dropped when Jason agreed to do a series of lectures for the kids.

And he put a big ad in the paper also. And the ad in the paper is amazing. Shoot for the top. Shoot for the future. baskets not guns or limo drivers what the fuck he did did he put limo drivers he did not that would have been amazing foresight foreshadowing like a motherfucker he's not psychic this was 94 and if he already knew that that was a that was something like shoot for the stars shoot for the moon shoot shoot for your future uh-huh shoot baskets not guns not guns jackass not a lincoln town car in the parking lot of the meadowlands what a complete idiot so he's just a complete jackass so then you know three years later like 97 or so three teens say that him and der and Derek Coleman assaulted them outside of a nightclub, which, good Lord, can you imagine him and Derek Coleman coming at you?

Unbelievable. Derek Coleman is a head and that's it. The man, he's a giant, just a round. Yeah. His eyes are like swollen shut because he's so big. If you don't know who he is, Derek Coleman is like 6'11", and he looks like late career George Foreman

who just made him 6'11". That's what he looks like. He has a bald head, giant face. He's enormous. He's a giant. And he looks like

if you pulled his arms like he would be like that stretch, stretch arm strong. Yeah. He would just keep moving in any direction. I don't know.

I don't know if this actually happened and no charges were filed, but that seems like to be another thing here. It's probably legit. Continues to be crazy, like Rick Barry at one point, who's an NBA legend and a Hall of Famer. If you don't know who he is, he's the guy that came up with shooting the free throws underhand, and he was a good free throw, he was like a 90% free throw shooter like that.

But called Jason Williams a part-time player player full-time party animal in an article that should be on his fucking tombstone it really should and it probably will be and that's his rodney dangerfield there goes the neighborhood that's so beautiful there was no twitter to like go back at him at him at that point so instead he just waited until they played brent Brent Barry in a game, Rick's son, and he just roughed him up for the entire 48 minutes. Just beat the shit out of poor skinny Brent Barry. Brent Barry thought he was

going to have a great career after that dunk contest, but now he's getting his ass creamed up and down the court by a lunatic. So things change in 1996. He's playing for the Nets. He has a talk with Chris Mullen.

Chris Mullen's another St. John's alum. And Chris Mullen apparently probably looked up to him. Mullen was an NBA superstar and all-star. Going back to last week's Chad Curtis, you trust a man with a crew cut. Yeah, you do. And Chris Mullen, you trust a man who can snap threes like that. If you played NBA basketball Sega games in the 90s, you knew that Golden State team, Tim Hardaway, Latrell Sprewell,

Chris Mullen at the small forward, Billy Owens, and Chris Weber. That was the squad. That's your shit. You kick it out to Mullen, and that thing is money. So he had played this game, apparently, and trusted Chris Mullen. Mullen explained to him how he was a big partier, a big drinker. Then he did some math, and he said, hey, if I stop partying and drinking, at least for my career, it's probably a $30 million difference in terms of how much better I play.

Stop kicking people's asses and losing $30 grand in a clip. Lawsuits, arrests, just general reputation, and just partying too i mean if you go home at the end of the night you're gonna save rather than going to strip clubs and all that kind of thing so he actually jason williams actually for the first time stopped partying he stopped drinking he embraced sobriety he would go home at night like he no alcohol he was doing a grand it showed on the court i mean apparently chris mullen lost his number or some shit. That's later. I don't know if he retired.

But, I mean, for a couple years there, he put it together on the court, too. I mean, in 97, 96-97 season, he averaged 13.4 points a game, which, you know, whatever. That's decent. 13.5 rebounds. Rebounds. So, I mean, that's. Crushing it. 13 and 13, we'll take that. You're averaging a double-double. As a big man. That's decent 13.5 rebound rebound so i mean that's rushing it 13 and 13 we'll take that

averaging a double man that's pretty good i mean the 30 you want a little more points but not at 13.5 rebounds is getting into rarefied air that's a really good average whether or not he makes the bucket coming up next if somebody else makes it that's a great it's not it's not dennis rodman no but i mean that's like saying oh well it well, it's not Babe Ruth or whatever. Rodman also put some points on the board. He was worse than this points in the game. Yeah, Rodman was

a terrible scorer. I figured it was 16. No, he loved, we'll get into Rodman in a little time, I'm sure, actually, on this show. Rodman will come up later.

But 97-98, he averages 12.9 points a game, 13.6 rebounds. So I mean, he's holding steady. He's going up a little bit. He's probably in better shape. He's not game. 13.6 rebounds. So, I mean, he's holding steady. He's going up a little bit. He's probably in better shape.

He's not drinking. Feeling like maybe there's a Hall of Fame career going to end up out of this. He's pulling it together. So much so that the Nets decide to entrust him with $90 million. Oh, Jesus. A six-year, $90 million contract on the table for Jason Williams. And that spells the end for that man. You don't give $90 million contract on the table for Jason Williams. And that spells the end for that man. You don't give $90 million to a man.

Yeah, I mean, next season he comes out, $98 million. He's psyched. I mean, I got six years, $90 million. I'm going to play until Stefan Marbury gets in my way and I trip over him and snap my leg in half. And he does suffer a career

ending leg injury on April 1st. April Fool's. Ha-ha. Your leg's broken. That makes exact sense. In a collision with Marbury. They were playing the Hawks. They put a plate and five screws in his leg.

And that was pretty much that. He waited a year to retire, but it was over at that point. That's the equivalent of a 90-year-old lady breaking a hip. That's just the end. He had a quick wedding and divorce at that point, too. It was just a 90 year old lady breaking a hip. That's just the end. He had a quick wedding and divorce at that point too. Just a quick, quickie little thing like that. Announced his retirement in 2000. Became an

analyst for NBC. Right. They were trying to get like personalities in there and make it like TNT and you know, Jason throw a couple of road sodas in this guy and he's going to be fun. He'll mace Charles Barkley and then beat up Kenny Smith. Kick the shit out kenny smith and so at this point he releases the aforementioned loose balls yeah best book title ever we're 12 years old by the way we're every time the words loose

balls are mentioned that's so good break into laughter like jackasses quality i mean loose balls this is like i said memoirs of him acting like a fucking lunatic from top to bottom um they taught he talks about in high school like he knocked a guy out and tried to push him out of a four-story window and uh you know that's that's a it's a red flag i would say at that point um apparently his father shot a kid in the ass who was fucking with Jason Williams. I don't know if this was an older kid or whatever, but his father shot a guy in the ass.

Like a child. You don't shoot a child. He didn't shoot a guy. He shot a fucking kid. He shot a child in the ass. With a legit gun. Not a pellet gun. A fucking gun.

A gun. He shot him in the ass. And his father wasn't even the Italian parent. And I can say that because my last name is Patrick Gallo. Fuck off. Recounted multiple stories of gunplay also, which is amazing. Such a theme. He was apparently hanging out with Manute Bull at Manute Bull's house.

If you don't know Manute Bull, basically get some taffy and stretch it as far as it goes. And that's what Manute Bull is like. And stand that shit up and put a basketball in its hands. That's him. A nice man, though. He donated every cent he makes from everything to the Sudan. He's from the Sudan. Good guy.

Anyway, he's 7'7", I believe. 7'6". Look up Manute Bull three-pointer. On YouTube, do yourself a favor. Just look at a 7'6 man. He looks like the guy from Street Fighter that stretches

out. That's Manute Bull. Watch him shoot a three-pointer. That's what you have. He's like a daddy long legs in a basketball. It's amazing. It's hilarious. It's so cool. He's so skinny. He's like a daddy long legs in a basketball it's hilarious it's so cool he's so skinny he's hanging out with Manute Bull

Manute Bull's uncle from the Sudan is there hanging out and he's fucking with Jason Williams and he's saying he's like

I hear you're the gangster man I don't know why I'm doing an accent I don't even know what accent they have in the Sudan but he's like

I hear you're and that probably means something different in the Sudan who knows he said I hear you're the gangster guy you don't look

so tough to me and I guess he showed him like a necklace where he I hear you're the gangster guy. You don't look so tough to me. And I guess he showed him like a necklace where he had like turtle heads on it and shit. I don't know if that was his way of being like, see, I'll rip a turtle head off

and wear it as a necklace. I'm a lunatic. You don't want to fuck with me. So apparently, you know, it was a joke and joke and then he got a little more serious. And apparently,

Jason Williams, recurring theme again, gets a few drinks in him. He's a little loose with the gunplay. Oh boy. And so he goes out to his car and gets a few drinks in him. He's a little loose with the gunplay. Oh, boy. And so he goes out to his car and gets a gun and comes back in and points it at Manu Pol's uncle,

scares the living shit out of him. He's from the Sudan. He's used to gunplay. This guy sees a gun, that's execution time for him. The man's had a gun since he was seven. So, yeah, this guy, probably a little skittish around guns if he's from the Sudan. Freaks him out.

He almost killed New York Jets wide receiver Wayne Kerbet So yeah, this guy, probably a little skittish around guns if he's from the Sudan. Freaks him out. He almost killed New York Jets wide receiver Wayne Corbett at a shooting range. He had a Desert Eagle, which is a cannon that you can hold in your hand. It's like take a Civil War cannon and just pick it up and fire it at someone. That's what it is, basically. I don't picture Wayne Corbett and Jason Williams just being anywhere near each other. Well, they both played in the New York area. Yeah, but I just don't see their personalities meshing well enough to be near each other. It's an odd mix, let's say.

It really is. But hey, guns bring people together, apparently. Alignment from the Jets and the fucking craziest man ever to play for the fucking Nats. Guns bring people together, like they did with Corbett and Mr. Williams, and they were shooting guns at a range. Williams had a Desert Eagle, and apparently Wayne Corbett bent down to pick something up. It's the biggest handgun you can get. It's enormous. You can

mount it on your car, and now it's a tank. It's huge. And apparently he did not see Wayne Corbett and fired off a gun, as Jason Williams put it, so close to his face that the sound knocked him out cold. But I didn't see him. But I didn't see him. I didn't see a 350-pound lineman. No, he's a receiver.

Kerbet's a little guy. Kerbet's a little guy. I'm picturing somebody else. Yeah, Wayne Kerbet is that little over-the-middle, like Wes Welker-type receiver. Little tiny white guy receiver. Is that who it is? Yeah, Wayne Corbett is that little over-the-middle, like, Wes Welker-type receiver. Little tiny white guy receiver. Is that who it is? Yeah, he's a little white wide receiver. Perfect.

I'm talking about sports, and I haven't got a clue who the fuck Wayne Corbett is. That's all right. That's okay. Wayne Corbett, he's got a French name, whatever. That's a nod thing for... How many football players have French names? Maybe you'll be looking...

I was picturing a wide man. I have no idea. No, he's not a wide man. He's a little guy. Not little. I'm sure a regular-sized person. But, you know, he's like a 5'11", 6-footer or whatever. All right.

You know, over the middle. He still is a grown-ass man. He's a slot guy, but you'd still see him. Who's right in front of your pistol. You'd see him when firing off large-caliber weaponry. So that's, you know, loose balls. He's working for NBC at this point. At this point, he has another incident in a bar

with Dikembe Mutombo of all people this time. He apparently wagged his finger one too many times. Another African from the Sudan that he can't deal with.

He's a real problem with Africans, this guy. He's racist. So he slaps a drink out of Mutombo's hand. They have to be separated by security.

How'd you like to get between those two monster people? How big was Mutombo? Seven, five? He's a 7'1 guy. No, he's a 7'1, but he was so thin, too. He was big.

Yeah, but he would block your shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was another lanky. Yeah. You know, his finger was like eight feet long. That guy was a menace in the paint. You couldn't put a shot up near him. His finger basically looked like when Chris Rock played Arsenio on SNL.

He would put those giant, ridiculous fingers. His finger is as long as my arm. Yeah, so he could block your shot. He was nasty. At this point, he buys a lacrosse team like a jackass for some reason that moves to Anaheim the next year. He just had nowhere to piss his money away. Open a restaurant and sell sliders, you fuck.

He's hanging out. He's got a nice house, which we'll get to in a moment. So we come to the night of England question here, which is January 13th of 2002. February 13th of 2002. Night before Valentine's Day. How romantic. How sweet. How sweet.

Where he gets picked up by a limo driver. A limo driver, he was excited to get the job. Of course. Gus Christoffi. This guy's got $90 million. Gus Christoffi, he's a sports fan too. He knows who Jason Williams is. Plus he knows this guy's like he's a recovering addict.

This was a guy that was in and out of prison until he was 47 and out of jail. Lots of drug problems. And now he was clean for seven, eight years, was in recovery, was a counselor at the Freedom House, which is a drug rehabilitation center or whatever.

So, I mean, he was doing well for himself, really trying hard. Scores a job with a guy with $90 million figures. Guaranteed payday. This guy's got the money. I drive him around

and I've got a good life. Yeah, he apparently was, you know, making like $65 an hour plus tip for this type of thing. Right. He had to go to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to Lehigh University to pick up the Harlem Globetrotters who were playing a charity game there that night. Jason Williams wanted to take him, wanted to take the Globetrotters, and a bunch of his friends out to dinner. So he sends the limo car. I think it was actually a van, though, like a limo van.

Sends them to get the Globetrotters with a few of his friends at Lehigh University. This poor guy, Gus Christoffi. Yeah, he dropped out in the sixth grade, this guy. So I mean, if you drop out in the sixth, this guy didn't have a chance. That's not on the kid. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. That's not on the kid. Yeah, this is a guy down on his luck who didn't, he had no preparation for life.

Your parents have to be on top of you enough at least to make sure that you stay in school beyond sixth grade. Absolutely. You can pass middle school and then you're on your own or whatever, but sixth grade, good God. Driving for Jason Williams is the best job he ever had. He was very addicted by the age of 16. He had huge addiction issues. He sat in and out of jail. Just known as a great guy.

Everybody loved this guy. Known as a super generous guy. Gave you the shirt off his back. Like a counselor. Would bring people presents and candy and things like that. Just beloved. Like a beloved guy in the community. And plus I think people root for an underdog.

And this guy was an underdog. Absolutely. He was making it. You know what I mean? So anyway, they end up going back to pick up the Globetrotters and Benoit Benjamin. This is where Benoit Benjamin comes into play. He was involved in this. And Chris Morris, who was another old teammate.

And then a couple of his friends, a guy named Curly Johnson, a guy named Paul Gaffney. Jason was going to drive his own car he had a couple of his buddies with him that were like old friends a guy named Kent Kaluko who will come in a lot later on he was an ex-New Jersey high school basketball prep star and a John Gordnick

who's a middle school basketball coach which I don't know what the hell he's doing hanging out with this guy but whatever, that's fine he's there so anyway, they drive back to Jason's house which I don't know what the hell he's doing hanging out with this guy, but whatever. That's fine. Strange. He's there. So anyway, they drive back to Jason's house. And the level of mansion cannot be overstated here. It's enormous.

This is ridiculous Beverly Hillbilly shit. It's ridiculous, this house. Carolina Hillbillies. It's silly. It's 130 acres. He's got a billiards room an indoor basketball court 130 130 acres in the new jersey woods wow yeah i mean he and he said he bought that much because he thought that he needs to go wild sometimes and literally he said he wanted to give himself some space area that was a place he could go wild so that the bullets can slow down

and he did because in addition to the billiards room basketball court indoor and an outdoor pool and all this he had two par three golf courses a duck pond the house itself was 31 000 square feet unbelievable 3 000 square feet it's a big house that's a lot 31 000 square feet is a neighborhood yeah it's a neighborhood yeah basically so i mean he could have had like four families living in there he didn't fucking know never see him never would have saw these people he had riding stables riding stables what are you fucking kidding me man can't get on a horse yeah you're six foot ten you gotta be riding horses you gotta buy a giraffe

to ride jesus yeah a little girl is there a pony in there for you jason so anyway he's got he's got a duck pond he's got an atv track he has a pasture this is the most ridiculous this is like wearing your this is wearing like a hubris hat right here this is what this is he had a pasture with a big gate that led to his prized cattle with a a big wrought iron, like it's Texas, with a big J.W. on it. Circle J.W. Think about that. Jesus Christ.

That wasn't just there. He had to call a wrought iron guy. Somebody had to weld that shit. And he was like, I need a big, no, it's got to be fucking big. They came out and measured. He's like, I want the jw not that font that font he thought about this this was a fucking thing that he did it was time spent lunatic yeah so anyway this guy uh they all go back to the house gus like i said gus christoffi the limo driver was a

really likable guy and apparently the globe trotters and the guys in the van took to him and they invited him in the house with them and also also, too, they also invited him out to the dinner they went to before they went to the house and he didn't eat dinner. He sat around drinking coffee off to the side

but they wanted him to come in and not sit in the car and wait. It's February in New Jersey so it's probably cold out there. And apparently,

Jason Williams at that point at dinner started making a couple of snide comments toward him. Humorous type things but it's like

he's going to be our whipping boy for the night because he doesn't fit in with us. We're not the, you know's like he's going to be our whipping boy for the night. Oh, Jesus. Because he doesn't fit in with us. We're not the, you know. So he was fucking with poor Gus. We got $90 million, you guys.

Well, he has $90 million. Let's say. The Globetrotters, I don't think they're making shit. No, no, no. No. So anyway, they invite, so they get back to the house

after all this. After they go to the Mountain View Chalet in Asbury, they go back to Jason's house. They have him come inside. Coluco invites him in, actually. It ended up being Coluco. As they're walking around,

Jason has to show off the house to everybody. Which, why else would you buy this insanity? Because you wanted to show everybody. Well, you need a tour guide. Apparently, the Globetrotters that night didn't want to go back to his house. They were like, no, we're tired. He was like, no, no, no, no.

You're coming with me. I'll get you a ride home. I don't care. I'm showing you my shit. It's insane. You're going to look at my cattle. Somebody's got to see this shit.

Someone's going to look at my fucking cattle. I need you guys to stalk the fucking barn. Who wants to ride an ATV? Somebody throw some hay. Jesus Christ. Anybody know anything

about barns? I got a shitload of bales of hay. Somebody's got to feed these fucking bulls. So apparently they're walking around. He's showing them the tour. Guys start breaking off here and there. There's people hanging

out in different rooms. The place is enormous. Yeah, you're going to lose some people. Tour continues into the bedroom. Gus is there. Of course, a limo driver. Three of the Globetrotters. And Kaluk goes in the doorway also, watching this apparently jason opens up a gun case oh big giant gun case oh that's where the trouble starts opens up the

gun case now it's known gus is known to all his friends to hate guns also too he's very uncomfortable didn't want like when he was a kid his father tried to take him hunting and he wasn't interested he has a sixth grade education he can't operate a gun a gun. He's just, he's a little skittish around the guns. Sure. Just like Manupal's uncle, but he's not from the Sudan. He's from Patterson, New Jersey,

but that's okay. So anyway, Jason opens up the gun case. He takes out a 12-gauge Browning, probably an expensive shotgun, I assume, from Jason Williams. Probably $4,500.

So he opens it up. Doesn't check the cartridge too well, apparently. Doesn't have any sort of safety on or anything. Flips it back closed. When he flips it back closed, it goes off into Mr. Christoffi's chest. Rips him apart, obviously. It's a close range shotgun.

The 12-gauge shot from 10 feet away, minimum. He goes down, bleeds out pretty much immediately. Of course, right now. I mean, there's no he's done he's done um now at this point what do you do call the police you shoot a limo driver you have a dead guy bleeding out in your bedroom yeah you call the fucking cops now and you go holy shit yeah um i'm whoops a day around whoops a days he shot a guy now i don't know if maybe it's his history of gunplay and violence where he went oh fuck what do i do or if it's like i said this giant hubris cowboy hat that

he's wearing where he's like instead of doing that he says let's pretend it's a suicide because that's what limo drivers do they come over to your house and they blow their fucking brains out metal art come in here we gotta this. He didn't even get paid yet. I mean, he's not shooting himself. So anyway, this guy. Holy shit. I mean, they wiped the gun down for Prince. Unbelievable.

They wiped the gun down for Prince. They put the gun into Gus Christophi's hand. They put it in his hand. They put his finger around it. Tried to get fingerprints on it. I mean, they're like, how do you? It's spray. Obviously. How do you get it's spray, obviously.

How do you get that shot into your chest, though, with that kind of shotgun? He's never seen an episode of anything. He's never seen CSI. No, he knows nothing. Clearly doesn't watch Dateline.

He knows nothing about just calling the police and say, whoops-a-daisy. Yeah, what's the worst that could happen, honestly? Negligible, whatever. You do some probation,

you pay a big fine, you're going to have to pay this guy's family. For this guy, I mean, I don't know. You got some probation, you pay a big fine, you're going to have to pay this guy's family. For this guy, I mean, I don't know. You got $90 million. You can afford it. Sell a couple of bulls. So apparently this is Coluco and Jason Williams

conferring and deciding that this is the right thing to do, make it look like a suicide. Coluco tells all the others, the Globetrotters and whoever else was around, it woke up Jason Williams' half-brother who was living there. Oh, yeah. I don't know if he was the one who shot the other one when he was a kid or what the fuck happened there.

It woke him up who was staying at his house. I guess everyone was told to lie. 30,000 square feet doesn't dissipate a 12-gauge shotgun shell. Everybody's going to hear it. Everyone hears that shit. Yeah, it's going to be loud. Because something tells me that place is echoey. Very echoey.

Something tells me it gets louder as it goes down the hall. He's 6'10". echoey high ceilings it gets louder as it goes down the hall he's 6 10 dude has high ceilings like so anyway uh they tell uh he gives his clothes to gordonick the middle school basketball coach tells him destroy this shit before the cops get here uh because he has to he was going to call the police and say he wasn't going to like hide the body in the woods he was going to say the guy shot himself sure so then he goes and jumps in the pool to wipe off any possible blood he'll do it or i guess yeah chlorine will do it i don't know if that'll get the uh you know powder off your hands too but gunshot residue can't fucking hurt i assume chlorine so he uh he goes

in the pool he's really you know trying to get out of this uh cops come they arrest him obviously because they can tell the guy didn't shoot himself. Sure. And why else would you stage a suicide unless you fucking killed the guy? That's insane. Only a stupid, crazy person would do that. And here we are with Jason Williams, who's apparently both of those things.

Whoops-a-daisy. So they charge him with seven things, which these guys, Lawrence Phillips, seven-seven. This guy's seven. Apparently you get an athlete, you charge him with 7 things, including the most... 7's your lucky number.

7's your lucky number, pal. You wore 55, but we're going with 7. Apparently, though, the most egregious of these violations was the aggravated manslaughter that carried 10 to 30 years of a charge with it, which is quite the charge. Shocking that that's all that carries. Yeah, well, it's an aggravated manslaughter.

It's not murder. Aggravated usually stacks up. Well, I think that's because he was drunk and careless. And I think, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. But just that word when it's in a charge, it usually stacks the time. And I figure 30, I guess 30 years is quite a bit of time.

That's a lot. That makes sense. That's a lot. 10 to 30 makes sense. That makes sense. Depending on the person, you figure there's some's some whatever so this goes to trial in 2004 the trial's a fucking circus obviously yeah um they're trying he tried to say that he tried to say a lot of things he was just playing around yeah he was doing this he was doing that and they brought up they kept bringing

up the insults to gus because when they were at the house he kept shooting more carbs at him horrible things so you know they kept bringing that up and saying basically they were saying like you were messing with him you were trying to scare him that sort of thing which even by the end the prosecutor just says it was an accident but the cover-up is the main we'll never we'll never know how that happened we'll never know was bullied him all night and then shot him we never know if he was if he was bullying him at the time or if he was just messing around like snapping it shut to scare him

and it went off. Anyway, he gets found not guilty of the aggravated manslaughter and an assault charge. Gets convicted of four charges related to the cover-up later on.

That's the thing. The big deal is though the jury is deadlocked on reckless manslaughter. That's a big prison charge. And the jury's deadlocked. Hung jurylaughter that's a big prison charge and the jury's deadlocked hung jury on that supposed to have a retrial in the march of the next year but it gets postponed he's appealing all these decisions while that's going on the appeals process happens a big thing

comes up where one of the investigators it gets found out by by one of the prosecutors that one of the investigators used a racial slur to describe Jason Williams during the investigation. So he, knowing this information, had to bring it out so he didn't end up with a Mark Furman moment

of getting surprised at trial with it. So they drop that charge. No, they don't drop it, but it's getting really difficult. Jason Williams is saying he's going to take it

to the Supreme Court and his wife is talking all sorts of shit. He had gotten remarried, by the way. Yeah, there was three of those. He's married to a woman named Tanya at this point. Is that the one he proposed to at a halftime basketball game? No, no, no. That was in 96.

They never got married, those two. Okay, good. No, no. He proposed at halftime. Fucking cheesy douche. He's a douchebag for that. So this happens. So Jason Williams, they're trying to get the retrial going

for the main charge. He's got these other charges hanging over him. He's going to do time eventually. He's delaying it as long as humanly possible. Like a normal man would. He also ends up

paying a large chunk of money to Gus Kasafi's family. I believe $3 million I think he ended up paying them. Which they deserved it for Christ's sake. He shot them.

He's always said he's sorry for doing it he's always said how since but i'm sure now he has later you lose three million dollars you're pretty sorry yeah that was a i think they settled for three million so i think it was just like i'll just give you three million let's not get into this anymore uh so yeah this was this was all too there was a change of jurisdiction to the area of the shooting. There was a lot of different things going on here with the court process to kick it along. In 2005, after this was going on, he says, well, things are going so well for me.

I'm going to go to prison at some point for these four charges related to covering up manslaughter. Drank it up. So why don't I go play in the CBA? And this isn't the Canadian Basketball Association, which would probably even sound better, like the CFL. This is the Continental Basketball Association. He plays for the Idaho Stampede,

storied franchise. Jesus Christ. This is the level of the CBA, if I could give you some of the teams that were active in 2005. The Albany Patroons. I don't know what the fuck a patroon is. What's a patroon? Sounds like a cookie.

It's like a macaroon sort of thing, maybe with a cherry in it in the middle. I don't fucking know. It's got a Hershey kiss on it. Butte Daredevils. Oh, those guys are bad as fuck. The Gary Steelheads. Gary, Indiana. Steelheads.

Yeah, aforementioned. Idaho. The Michigan Mayhem, which sounds like an MLS soccer team. It Steelheads. Gary, Indiana. Steelheads. Yeah, aforementioned. That's a fish. Idaho. The Michigan Mayhem, which sounds like an MLS soccer team. It's a good name, though. It's not bad.

Sounds like something you'd name like a created franchise in Madden. Called the Michigan Mayhem. Sounds like something that is created in Michigan. Yes.

The Rockford Lightning. Yeah. That's fine. Sioux Falls Sky Force. Jesus. The Great Lakes Storm. And my favorite, I gotta get a jersey of the Yakima Sun Kings.

The Yakima Sun Kings. The Yakima, so that's the level of basketball. That doesn't last long. What was the other one? What, the Butte Daredevils? Right after that sounded like they fucking went to an elementary school and were like, name this team. And a fucking

kid that doesn't even get boners yet picked it. That's enough time to spend on the CBA because no one's... Anyway, most of these teams, including the Idaho Stampede, ended up folding into the NBA D League, the developmental league now. So that's like a minor league franchise. I don't know what the hell Jason Williams is buying. He's got

$90 million, minus three. He's got, you know... Minus whatever it takes to buy a fucking small city in Delaware. Yeah, he's got you know minus whatever it takes to buy a fucking he's got small city in delaware yeah he's got a handful of screws and a plate in his leg what's he doing out there so apparently the atv track didn't hold the same appeal it did before 2009 comes around he gets divorced from his wife tanya there and at the same time this is 2009 things start going haywire sure he gets divorced from his wife his father dies

who he's very close to because Thomas is close the guy's shooting people in the ass who mess with him he gets called police get called in April of 2009

yeah police get called to a Manhattan hotel room for a drunk and suicidal Jason Williams and he's so drunk and so suicidal and out of control, they have to tase him.

Oh, boy. So this big, giant load goes down. I imagine it took more than one. Probably. He's a big guy, and we all know he gets a little crazy when he's drunk. Suicide notes all over the room.

Multiple drafts. In case they don't find this one. Multiple drafts. In case they don't find that one. He made it rain with suicide notes, which is not something you want to do. Not normal for the average WBA player. He's like you right now, throwing these cue cards all over the room.

Or David Letterman after a fucking... Amazing. Jesus Christ. So, I mean, a month goes by. So he's down in Raleigh, North Carolina for some reason. He gets in a bar fight with somebody. Knocks the shit out of some poor bastard. He's drunk again.

Charges later get dropped on that. Lucky for him. It's time to suck him down when life goes sour it's been december his lawyers drop him they withdraw from his case yeah because they're like this guy's a loon apparently he had an opportunity for a decent plea before that and he rejected it so they were like you know what what are we doing with this asshole uh besides running up the large he's gonna shoot us yeah if we have we give if we bill him anymore he's gonna shoot us. Yeah. If we bill him anymore, he's going to shoot us. We come to January 5th of 2010.

This here is the year of J.W. right here. Oh, boy. This is the year of J.W. at this point. He crashes his SUV in a tree in Manhattan, refuses the breathalyzer. No, don't take it. Don't want no breathalyzer here. That's not how he talks, by the way, either. He's arrested for DUI, of course, or DWI.

It's New York. He is charged $16,643 for the tree. For the tree. For the tree. I'd like to see what kind of fucking tree that is. He is sentenced to a year. He's sentenced to a year in jail for this DUI. He's sentenced to a year in jail for this DUI that will be served after the sentence that he pleads for in his shooting trial.

Jesus Christ. According to Jason Williams at this point, he's just tired of it. Yeah. He's had a rough time. His dad's dead. His wife left him. He's DUI and he's trying to kill himself. He's writing suicide notes. Dead limo drivers in my bedroom.

I've got a shit life now. He's got problems. He says he wants to get it over with. Of course. He's writing suicide notes. Dead limo drivers in my bedroom. I've got a shit life now. He's got problems. He says he wants to get it over with. Of course. And he just pleads. I think he just didn't want to go to jail for 30 years. Right. So he's like, I am going to plead because I look like an asshole at this point.

And the judge is not going to be kind during sentencing. Not at all. So he makes a plea on the day after his birthday in 2010, February 23rd. Guilty plea. Sentenced to five years. Eligible. That's fucking hard to say. in 2010, February 23rd. Guilty plea, sentenced to five years, eligible, eligible, that's fucking hard to say.

How drunk would he have been on his birthday? I'll bet he fucking drank him down. He stunk like a fucking brewery when he came in the next day. I'm sure he slurred whatever that plea was. Yeah, guilty, guilty.

Oh, flying go. So he's eligible for parole in 18 months, and then plus they tack on the extra year for the DUI. Pleads guilty to aggravated assault. I guess that's a compromise on reckless manslaughter. It was $2 million he paid in 03 for the wrongful death suit, which he had no fucking prayer of winning,

so he just paid up. He goes to prison. In prison, I mean, the prisoners in there seem to like him. A lot of people like him. He's a likable guy when he's not shit-faced he seems like he's the type of guy where he can't drink no he's a lunatic you can't let this guy drink when he starts going back when he's on the rails and on a path he seems to have his life under control absolutely and people in prison liked him i guess he worked the suicide prevention hotline for a little while people seem to like him and everything like that uh he's released in uh april of 2012 right uh he gets out and he

starts doing interviews and uh he says the hardest part of prison was claustrophobia well no shit you're huge you're huge you don't fit in anything and you live in in disneyland basically so yeah um you go from 30 000 square feet to fucking 60 he complained to 60 if you're lucky this is what he said he said here's something he goes man they just locked the door behind you man you'd hear it slam and it's just be all barred up and full of grime talking about rikers Island. Yeah. Yeah. That's fucking jail. I've never been.

That's exactly how I fucking pictured it. That's how I pictured it. He said the wall sweat. You had to poop in front of other gentlemen. Like, what the fuck are you talking about?

How was the food, Jason? I imagine it was shit. How was the prize winning cattle there? Did they have an ATV course? Yeah, where was it? How were their fucking gates?

Oh my God. Jesus Christ. So then he's feeling sorry. Now he's really feeling sorry. If you listen to him now, he's just a good guy. He's just, he's insane. He's lost his fucking mind. He gets released.

He said, I never imagined, I never imagined, I never, what is it? I'm sorry. Never thought it would be as difficult as it is Jesus start over okay I never imagined I'd make it more difficult

than it has to be but at certain times trying to save the world some days I just save the community some days I just have to wake up and save myself

sometimes I just save this cell block. Jesus Christ. This is after he's out. Yeah. You're not fucking Batman, bro. Chill out.

You're not saving shit. You're not even Daredevil. Relax. Just stop drinking and punching and shooting people. And stop running over trees and shit.

That's all we ask. We don't even want you to dunk anymore. No. Just don't shoot anybody for a minute. That's it. Don't buy a gun.

He said the hardest thing was trying to find a place to live. His quote was that these people in these high rises here, he's pointing to Manhattan and Jersey in this

interview, he said these people used to pay big money to watch me play, now they don't want me living next door. Yes, because you fucking shoot people.

You shoot your drivers, bro. You punch people. Yeah. And shoot people. And mace people. And act like a complete asshole all

the time. And by the way, they paid to see Kerry mace people. And act like a complete asshole all the time. And by the way, they paid to see Kerry Kittles. Nobody ever bought a ticket because Jason Williams was on the team. You just happened to be a piece that was helping him win. Good God. Yeah, he wasn't. So he's so, you know, humble at this point that he writes a book called Humbled. It came out last year.

Is it about your driver, bro? Because that's who got humbled. Jesus Christ. I would say it's called Humbled. Letters from Prison. It's on Amazon and paperback and Kindle. And I would have loved more than anything to read this book for you guys and to, you know, reiterate his insanity.

But I'm not giving him eight fucking dollars. Which is what the Kindle costs. He's just going to spend it on a six-pack anyway. I'm not giving him a fucking dime, and I don't care what he has to say. There's a four-minute trailer for it on YouTube that is amazing. I can't wait to watch that.

Jason Williams humbled. It's awesome. It's basically just like music in the background and how he's a good guy. Amazing shit. So he apparently is so humble, and he's doing so well for himself that a month ago...

Time to celebrate. Time to celebrate. Let's get shit-faced and drive around upstate New York. So, January 26, 2016, he is arrested for DUI in upstate New York. Just a month ago. A month ago. He crashes into a telephone call. If it's standing still, he will fucking hit it he'll

hit it he'll shoot it i assume a guy he may was probably in a wheelchair still or held by another man if you are around jason williams for pete's sake fucking move just keep moving just keep moving he might be a bad shot go to the left go to the right just move around that's how wayne corett survived. He's quick. He's good out of the slot. Zigzag. Fucking zigzag. Do a slap post. Run a fly pattern slap post. That's it. Yes. That's the one.

You got it. So they take him in. So he's a mess. He crashes his car. He's all cut up and scratched. They take him to the hospital. Draws blood. Guess what? Intoxicated. He's drunk cut up and scratched. They take him to the hospital, draw his blood. Guess what? Intoxicated. He's drunk.

Big shocker there. Luckily, he didn't have any guns on him, for the love of Christ. So he's arrested for DUI again, and now that's pending, and so there's going to be more on Jason Williams, and we will update you on Jason Williams as it comes through and as it comes out. Do yourself a favor

and Google what Jason Williams looked like in 1993, and then find the mugshot of Jason Williams from 2016. He looks like every guy that changes your trash can liner in your fucking cubicle. He looks like a Puerto Rican janitor. He doesn't even look like Jason Williams. He doesn't. He looks terrible. He looks fucking great. We will post those pictures, by the way, together when we release the episode.

So fucking good. We'll post those because you're going to want to see this shit. We'll post a picture of him playing and then post a picture of his mugshot.

It's really going to be fun to pick out.
