Jay (I still think of him as Jayson) was elected to the college basketball Hall of Fame.

Couple other guys in the class that I think I've heard of: Tim Duncan, John Stockton, Bo Ryan.

How would Jay have compared to Kyrie but for the motorcycle accident?

Jayson Williams did not play for Duke but he did shoot his limo driver:

It's always an honor for another member of the Duke basketball family to be enshrined in the HOF. Congrats to Jay.

(Minor nitpick, his first name is spelled Jason, with no Y)

The funny thing about Jayson Williams is that he isn't Jayson Williams. It's Jason Williams. And to avoid confusion with Jason or Jayson Williams, he changed it to Jay. So we can call him Jay or Jason. But Jayson Williams is not on the table (and I'd like to separate Jay from a murdered but don't have issues comparing him to White Chocolate).

In terms of Jay vs Kyrie, I think Jay would be a better distributor and defender (the latter of which isn't hard to believe) but little chance he could have the scoring prowess of Kyrie. I think Jay could have been an All-Star, but there isn't one part of his game in the NBA that screamed, "Holy crap this dude is great".

Congrats to Jason! He deserves it for the win over MD, if nothing else (and there's plenty else, but that was so memorable).

So what WV high school team beats a team that has White Chocolate Jason Williams and Randy Moss on it?

Martinsburg HS from the Eastern Panhandle beat White Chocolate and Randy Moss's team. And this was when the WV refs always discriminated against the Eastern Panhandle teams because they didn't get to see them play during the season. Moss was the bball mvp in WV that year.
