Surprised I had not heard more about this on the boards/DBR.

I know that the Knicks are going hard after Sessions and Duhon maybe out of the door soon, but it would be great to see Jason lace them up for a comeback. Definitly one of my favorite Dukies of all-time.

You haven't heard more about it because the Jason Williams the Knicks signed is a white guy who went to Florida.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe the Jason Williams they are talking about is white who went to college at Florida. He was on the Miami Heat's championship team a couple years back.

Poor Jason (our Jason).

As, as Brill points out also, the Florida Jason Williams is not the worst Jason (Jayson) Williams to get mixed up with.

I guess the J-Will thing should have thrown up a flag

Remember also that our Jason is legally named Jay Williams now. I will enjoy watching Jay on ESPN as much as I enjoyed watching him in a Duke uniform.

That's not exactly the story behind the whole Jason to Jay thing. When our Jason Williams was being drafted, I think his advisers, the media, or a combination of the two started referring to him as "Jay". There was never any legal name change.

I think there was an interview somewhat recently that went over this, but I can't find it.

As much as I love Jay as player, he is not much of a TV guy. I hate to admit it but so often Hubert had to carry the segments they did together.
