Looks like JWill went off last night in a game at Dyckman Park in NYC. His new nickname... Bourne Supremacy.
He was such an incredible player, it'd be great to see him run and gun again.

Few have had the competitive drive J-Will had on the court. What makes him such a treasure is that he possesses it off the court, as well, and always has. He is driven to succeed, and he will. It's a shame for the sport that we didn't get to see him at full-tilt in the NBA; but we'll all benefit from what J-Will does over the course of his non-playing career, I've no doubt.
Glad he's still takin' it to the competition on the court though, too. :)
Nice article and he's still only 28. I wonder if he will try the NBA one more time...Quote:

when i heard about JW's accident, it tore me up to think about what he had lost ( it still does)
we've all mentioned many time the OTHER things that duke athletes leave with in regard to non-athletic life experiences. I'm loving that JW had a great job, still plays ball, still rules steve gottlieb and seems to have overcome the tragic event that nearly took his life...
i follow JW on twitter and i sure wish he was in the NBA along with many of you...
