Damn, it takes a real man to admit he was a coward. You can tell he's still struggling with his demons. Hope he finds peace.

Jayson Williams has PTSD, I pray that God's will provides peace to his mind.

Everytime he talks about it you can tell he's genuinely disturbed and sorry about the incident.

I take my hat off to this man for taking accountability for he's actions. It takes a real man to admit his mistakes and feel remorseful for it. Shout-out to Mr. Williams.

Forgive yourself brother, God has you....

alcoholism in the Black community is not a subject we address... largely ignored.... sad...

Dang he broke down early... He still hadn't forgiven himself and it's evident. I pray for his peace, let his heart be released of this pain.

He took a life due to his addiction. And now he is out saving lives .So many people needed to hear this. I hope that God continues to make him a blessing to others.

"A disease that tells me I don't have a disease..." Deep

This is one of the most HONEST apologies/explanation. I pray he can forgive himself and move forward. God be with the family of the deceased.

That man had me in TEARS with his sincerity!.. 😭😭 i cannot watch a guy get emotional, i breakdown immediately!.. 😭😭😭.. 👏👏👏👏 #ImProud..

People will forsake you ,but Jesus will never leave you or forsake you.

I Salute Jayson Williams for being so Transparent & Honest about alcohol & Drug Addiction his interview will help someone out there that needs the help #Blessings

He recognizes his mistakes and in return now he is saving lives

This is real and this is what being a man is about. Accepting your responsibilities, asking for forgiveness from God, the family, and you must forgive yourself. Let your tears out Mr. Williams and begin to move on.

J.Williams is a good dude. He was very transparent, and that can help others. Thanks for this interview.

"I KNEW I needed my Dad. I wasn't going to leave my Dad. I KNEW I had issues and needed that structure!" Slamn. Such humility he had at a young age ... late teens - early 20s to recognize and confess then and now that he needed his dad. WOW #my2cents

Phenomenal interview, I'm 19, I didn't know about him before this, but I'm glad I learned about him! 👏

I always thought he was so handsome. He's even more attractive now. I ❤️ a man that can own up to his mistakes and try to make it right.

God bless this brother. I hope he continues to recover.

One their best interviews! Alcohol is number 1 worse drug, becuz people believe its not a drug

I pray for his healing. I pray that he forgives himself.

took alot of courage to do this

I’ve never seen a man who really feels bad about what they’ve done and public about it to this level, he is really hurting and doing his best to kick the worst habit, alcoholism, real brotha right here, and may Jah bless his efforts

This guy strikes me as a good man who made a mistake! Wish him the best.

He OWNS it...to the core...the transparency. No excuses...

Damn, Jayson Williams kicked so much game in this interview...James Dolan, Armon Gilliam, Charles Barkley and the NBA All-Star game. Wow. Great Interview.

He breaks down because he’s a genuinely good dude. He hurts because he took someone’s life. He was raised right. These kids out here could care less who’s life they have taken.

This was the most humble Breakfast Club interview I’ve seen yet! I can tell he truly wants forgiveness for his past! Hopefully he finds his peace!

God Bless The Limo Driver Family as Well As Mr. Williams!...Great Interview!!

Breakfast club is really becoming bigger than music

Jayson Williams low key threw shade at the breakfast club 😂😂 talking about " nah if I had gotten 35 million I would be right here with ya"

Bless his heart. I can tell he has ptsd and is trying to work through it all. It takes a man to admit all this and face it too.

I fuks with Jayson Williams.....real nigga right here.

I wish Jayson Williams so much peace and love. I really loved how he owned being a coward and how regretful he was. Admitting your mistakes is huge and he's going the work to be better. Loved the interview. It was honest, sincere and was needed.

I really hope charlemange gets to read this. You need sensitivity training. You shouldn't bombard suicidal people with suicide questions. Often its best for them not to think about suicide even in peaceful and happy times because hard times will always come back.

He EASILY had the best house on MTV Cribs.

Everybody deserves #a2ndchance, even Jayson Williams!

Great interview! Rehabilitation is real people!

You can tell this man has a genuine and good heart. I love the way he lights up when he talks about his rehab center.

I love his openness and honesty....I pray he find healing and peace! I feel his pain....my heart goes out to him!!!!!! Man...my God...he's a inspiration...we don't know why things happen and why things the way it is......May God bless this man of God....my brother in Christ 🛐😓

Dope interview. I know it's not easy to tell a real story like this

Respect for dude

You can hear him trying to hold back tears I pray for you 🙏

Breakfast Club always delivers, I was just Googling this guy a few days ago to see what he was up to because he was one of my favorite role player big man in the NBA coming up as a kid.

I lived right next to Jayson when he played for Philadelphia and the guy was the man. He took me to a pizza shop in his Lamborghini Diablo. Can’t tell you how cool I felt as a 10 year old.

I just wanna give him a hug. His heart is heavy and he has to relive this everyday.

All will be ok Mr Williams 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

LMAO HE PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM IF I HAD $35,000,000 I'LL BE RIGHT HERE WITH YALL

It's all about forgiveness and sobriety starting over and claiming your now

I too suffer from alcoholism serious disease two years & counting

Dmx needs to go to jaysons rebound center.

Jayson spilled his heart and seems very sincere. Good interview and I wish him all the best.

Wow you never know what somebody is going through.

He was holding back tears.

"Motivation again was supplying me is no longer providing me, Jayson Williams something killed whatever was driving me..."(Joey-Black Cloud)

This man is the true definition of there being light, at the end of dark tunnel.

He is very, very, very remorseful. It's been 15 years and he still can barely talk about it.

One of the most important guests ever. No entertainment. Just real life and a man accepting full responsibility for his actions and showing its never too late for change.

Im usually a fan of Charlemagne but after this interview i can honestly see why people call him the drama queen. He seemed so umempathetic i understand we all have certain agendas to forward but come on Cuz.

Damn ctg stuck on his suicidal thoughts bruh ease up fam

Yo this dude is the best storyteller

God Bless you J.Williams... I'm praying for you thru this journey. Claiming victory over your life. Peace and Love to the families of everyone involved.

Y'all need to chill. He didn't kill him maliciously

Great interview. I hope he continues to recover and help as many people as possible ❤

Dj envy be like "for those who dont know at home what is basketball..."

He reminds me of my dad who passed away this year and had some of the same issues he had dealing with addiction and guilt of past decisions. I pray he can heal and grow. This is deep and important for us to remember that we are not immune to life happening so we all need to be vigilant to make the best choices possible so that we never live with regret.

He's very nervous but stay strong bro and hope you get rid of your demons and be healthy

I am only 6 minutes into this interview and my heart is swelling listening to his grief. I remember when this happened.

Yes he killed someone, he says it in the interview 🙄🙄🙄 Watch the shit before commenting.

Much respect to the Breakfast Club and Jayson Williams for this excellent interview.

So he's a recovering addict... I recognize the lingo! 1 is too many and 100p isn't enough! Prayers for the still suffering addict!

Everything happens for a reasons this maybe his calling ? This is what real remorse looks like and I wish Jayson Williams the best success one day at a time.

"He who is without sin"! "Cast the first stone"!

I feel like cta doesn't get enough credit. He's a great interviewer! Every time Jayson almost broke down he really lighten the mood and brought him back up.

One of the bravest most introspective and heartbreakingly honest interviews I have seen in a while. Man, I have a hard time getting over my defensiveness and passive aggressive behavior in general and this man (I repeat, man) opened up about his present darkness. He needs us and I need him. My hero in this moment. Keep moving, keep fighting and know that despite it all you are doing what you need to do.

Awesome interview! Glad to see him putting in that work for people who truly need it.

The Nets could've gotten a ring if he'd stayed healthy ....they had the squad ...Jason Kidd ,Kenyon Martian ,Richard Jefferson,Kieth Van Horn ,Jayson Williams and Kerri Kittles

Jason William,great interview,I am a recovering addict too who has got 19-1/2 years clean and sober,get a sponsor do the steps then freely give it back that's how it work.

That was a great interview . Poor dude is going through a lot . Happy he continues to help others good job j Williams

He still hurtin

He's speaking for alot of people. Alcoholism is very difficult to admit to

whoever booked this interview, thank you. always loved Jayson Williams one of the ppl I looked up to when I played ball as a kid. Easily a top 10 breakfast club iview in my opinion

I hope he's able to finally make peace with his mistakes. No one's perfect. May God bless him. ❤️

People now THIS is how you OWN YOUR SHIT! Good dude!

Mad Love n Respect to this brother!!!!!!.... he a Real dude!... Life is hard but fair...

He still fine

Salute.. definitely gotta tip my hat to him

Saw the flex interview..this nigga hilarious lmao!

I sincerely pray that he eventually finds peace and healing he has started the process it will be hard but I pray he gets through this that is a heavy burden my prayers are with him and his limo drivers family this is heartbreaking and even more to watch I pray all is well Mr Williams! 😊😊

BRAVE BRAVE MAN....that's what manhood is taking accountability, accepting responsibility, and sharing your story to help others

Char just gon keep bringing up only negative stuff😂😂😂

the fear and hurt can be heard in his voice. if you are a close friend or family embrace Ahki. Literally hearing a cry for help. tormenting.

J.Wiilliams....St. John's finest...a real working NBA dude....glad to see he is doing well now...

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Helping people truly helps him. Real man to admit fear, it's tough. Keep it going.

Finally a decent interview

"For those who don't know, tell us what rehab is.."-envy

man he seems like a really amazing dude, may god bless his soul and grant him healing

This has to be one of the best Breakfast Club interviews I've seen yet. This man has truly never really forgiven himself, he's taking responsibility for his actions, and he seems like a genuinely great guy who made one bad mistake

He still has a good sense of humor lol. Them damn nuts!! Lmbao
