You can hear the hurt in his tone you dont have to listen to or pay attention to anything but that voice....pain speaks volume

I had the pleasure of meeting and spending some time with Jayson when he was a young player for the 76ers. I was the Dir of Security of the hotel they stayed at during the season and then for the playoffs which gave people in my position more personal time with the players. He was an absolutely wonderful young man. At one point towards the end of the series, he and Andre Turner were in the bar throwing back a pitcher of Milwaukee's finest, when my then "buddy," Charlie Barkley came in from a night out and wanted to see which of his teammates were in the bar. After Barkley put me in a playful headlock and pulled me to the bar to get him a bottle of Miller Lite, Barkley bitched out his young teammates for being out late. Jayson actually quickly invited me up to his room to give me a souvenir. He gave me a very cool practice jersey. Very nice. Ironically, during my time with him he had told me the story about his sisters. Made me want to cry. Really made me respect him immediately and been a fan since. Felt bad during his trial and even worse for not contacting him while he was in prison. Feel worse for the family of the guy he accidentally killed.

That's a man filled with shame and guilt and I hope he heals.

One of the most, if not the most riveting interviews I've ever seen. God has truly smiled on Jason.

One of the very few Vlad interviews were you can genuinely feel the honesty. No fake pride or bravado, this man is real. So much pain yet so strong to face his demons and own his mistakes. Most importantly, you can see how he's moving on and doing good for himself and others. May God bless you Man!

I love how he refers to his niece & nephew has his son & daughter ❤️

Wow what a incredibly harsh life Jason went through. But big salute to him for his perseverance. He lost all his sisters raised their kids. And still got a degree.. You can still see him fighting back tears when talking about his sisters.. Salute this brother..

He’s not making any excuses for his mistakes I pray for my brother that he finds peace everyday 🙏

🥺 "We might be cracked but we not broken ✊" Jayson Williams

Thank u for this interview . If u wondering if anyone was help or moved by this interview I'm letting you know I'm one of those ppl . Thank you Mr Williams and thank u Vlad .

This is one of the most Powerful interviews I’ve ever seen in my life. God Bless this Man with your Mercy, Favor and Strength Abba.

Boy, I remember him during his prime with the NJ Nets! So full of happiness, charisma, and athleticism. Such a shame what happened to him. Love you bro, wish nothing but the best for you 💪🏻

I remember this guy before the accident. He was a larger than life personality and certainly had great promise. It’s sad to see where he is at mentally. I hope he finds healing God bless

The best thing Jason can do is to forgive himself. So he can finish the healing process.

I’m 5 minutes in and why am I laughing? 8 minutes in, I’m crying? Bracing myself for the remaining parts of the interview. My GOD!! Jayson Williams life is just incredible. God bless this man.

This interview is one of the greatest I’ve ever seen. So much to be learned from this brothers story. Praying God redeem the purpose for his life.

He doesn’t realize that he has turned something that was so horrible, unbearable into something so wonderful! He is so hard on himself and doesn’t think he deserves any praise. I think if he did not have Rebound Recovery he would go crazy! The cross you carry is heavy. God bless you Jayson.

This is one of the most honest interviews i have ever seen. full of humility and a pure view of recovery at its purpose of progress not perfection.

He said his kids . Not his niece and nephew. He took responsibility .

I'm so glad I've matured ..none of us can judge. We all have fallen short ..I'm so glad that he is healing and have found his purpose. Wow. His story is so powerful.

this dude is a real man .i hope god will give him some comfort

Hands down the best interview of 2019

I have never watched a full interview, because I am lazy! I couldn’t stop watching this interview! Much respect two both of these men! I learned a lot! Thank you Vlad!

I did time with Jayson. Very humble guy. Very solid celly, and taught many of us how accountability for your own actions, is the biggest step to getting your dignity back, And remorse starts heal you. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🙌🏾

Kind of messed me up a little watching him tear up talking about what happened he is a real man right there

That’s my blood uncle 💪🏾 love you man , you’re always aspiring and motivating

This interview is amazing and I appreciate how humble how honest this man is he loved this. Man has a good heart just hard life like many.

Strong brother there, God gives the hardest battles to his strongest soldiers

His life on the big screen would be a classic. Heartbreak, humor, tragedy, trials and triumphs.

The media portrayed this guy as a reckless gangster and I believed it. I was totally wrong.

The interview was an honest look at untreated trauma. He is not using his trauma as a crutch. He is not blaming anyone for the choices he made. He has been trying to make amends. I hope that he is able to forgive himself.

As a basketball fan, I saw Jayson Williams as being braggadocious, immature and out of control. The accidental shooting fit my image of him. But after watching this, I have developed much respect for him. He is obviously in a great amount of pain and is using that pain to help others where he can and as long as he can.

Bro lived a crazy life. Glad he’s staying strong. RIP to Vlads daddy

one of my favorite interviews, genuine man right there

The best interview I’ve seen in over 30 years!

He spared the life of the man who killed his sister and took another mans life by accident. Do you know how deep that is emotionally and mentally to deal with bruh

This was a really powerful interview. The amount of detail Jayson describes his traumatic experiences in makes it hit that much more.

Excellent interview one of the best with genuine sincerity. Didn't know he went through that much!!!!

When Jayson Williams impersonates his father, he sounds like Richard Pryor..

Powerful story man.. Dude has been thru so much, did his time and has come out a better man trying to help others!

Crazy story, you get jealous of people in their winning season but you don’t know what they lost in their losing season.

Wow … this interview is amazing. Hats off to you vlad once again

Jayson Williams is a great brother who has been through some amazing traumatic experiences. On March 08, 2010 I was indicted for official misconduct and sentenced to five years in prison in Flemington , Superior Court . I was stripped of my pinstriped suit given an orange jumpsuit and slippers - no undershorts or socks. They took me across the street to Hunterdon County jail . There I met Jason and he saw that I was going through it. He said hello and gave me a pair of socks and a book entitled " The Purpose Driven Life " . I read that book twice and it helped me survive. Then Jayson was gone . I asked where he was taken. He was taken to Central Intake then to Mid-State Correctional Facility in Wrightstown , NJ . After 5 months I went to Central Intake and was assigned to Mid-State Corr. facility and re-united with Jayson. He was well known at the prison. But everybody gave him big respect , not because he was a professional ballplayer - that meant something but he was humble and truly remorseful for why he was in prison. We attended church , we talked in the Yard . I have been home now for 6 years and life is still a struggle . My family relations are strained , I can't get an executive job although I made over $ 130,000. a year . I also taught at the college level . I can see from this interview that Jayson is real , and he is still hurting. I know the feeling. Jayson , if by chance you see this call me - 201 551-0897 . I love you and you stay strong my brother - you paid your debt to society . Keep doing those great things down in Florida. If we don't meet here on Earth , we will see each other again in heaven- God loves you and me so I know we gone be alright. Your lifelong friend Mike Steele

I respect a man who owns up to his mistakes. I hope I have the strength to do the same.

Daaaamn, i forgot all about him! Thought he was still locked up. Good to know he's in a good place now.

You have too give him a lot of credit for owning up too his mistakes. You can tell he is hurting for his mistakes. He honestly is so humble. I hope he will learn too forgive himself.

I remember this case. Sad story, condolences to both families. GOD gives us all chance after chance after chance. Keep your head up Jayson. You're doing a great thing. God bless you.

Major interview. Thanks 2 both of u all 4 the interview.

After listening to Jayson Williams. I realized how bless I'm am.

One of the best interviews I have ever seen!!! You can tell Jesus has been working on Jayson's heart. This came from this man's heart and was truly genuine. May God continue to bless big Jay Williams!!

I couldn't wait to see the whole video this is a pretty deep story and it shows money doesn't solve everything

Awesome Interview!!!!! Really, Really Powerful and Touching!

Best Vlad interview all 2019 BY FAR! Way to cap the year off‼️

Sorry For Your Loss Vlad!! My Deepest Condolences! And Good Seeing Jayson Still Going Strong! He Is A True Inspiration and Strong Willed Man!! Poor Guy Has Been Through a LOT! But He Keeps That Head On Strong!

THIS MADE ME CRY My prayers go out to his sister

Wonderfully done. Great interview.

Damn sorry to hear about your sisters though :(

I'm proud of Jayson and his attitude on helping others. He made a mistake and now he's using that to fuel the best version of himself Kudos!

So many life lessons learned in this interview. Appreciate the wisdom, J will!

This is a really great interview it just really touched me, kind of puts things in perspective in a way that it’s hard to explain but just a very intriguing interview

This should be at a million views best interview ever 💯💯🔥🔥

I have an enormous amount of respect for Jason after watching this interview. We all make mistakes and God forgive us all. I wish him the best going forward 🙏🏿

I loved him as a player but damn mad respect to him as a man!!! The pain in his eyes you can feel and bless him for owning his mistakes!

I've faced an enormous amount of trauma so I relate to him especially the look in his eyes, however I would never wish to go through his experiences... KING❤🙌

Jayson Williams is honestly one of the funniest guys I’ve ever heard! Also, one of the most humble honest ppl I’ve ever seen. Never made excuses, and owned his mistakes & tried to make amends. In addition he is very BRAVE. I find myself wanting to protect him 😢

This is tragic. One lost their life and the other spends his life in pain regretting it.

Much Respect from a fellow recovering person. You are doing it bro, keep it up

you can hear the pain in his voice ,accidents happen and i hear the remorse ! he is being very truthful ! much love from another jerseyian

As a pastor, I feel its people like him pain that should be leading the Black Church instead of the narcissists. I'd not only endorse, counsel, and ordain him, Id follow him. His struggle and redemption grounds his humility to focus on helping humanity sincerely.

Extremely sad interview and person. JW is a sad person and I cried with him. Powerful interview and very motivational. But extremely sad.

It is refreshing to hear a person be 100% accountable. Very rare, particularly for a celebrity.

He could make a lot of money traveling, telling his story and how to help others. Motivational speaker

Great interview. Jay I hope everything works out for you. You sound good. Very sincere.

Mannn, he's so tormented. U can c the trauma, it's all around him. Life can be so damn tragic sometimes. That being said, hands down the best interview I've heard from Vlad.👏

Excellent interview..Keep HEALING Jayson

Great interview 🔥🔥🔥

Holy shit. This guy has been through somethings. Should be a movie. Wild.

Great interview 💪🏾💪🏾

Really Great Interview, you all do a great job

Damn this was a truly sad life of Jayson Williams. His story brought me to tears , but also showed me his unbelievable strength in taking all of that pain and rebuilding his life and carrying on. I would love to shake his hand and look him in the eye and just say thank you for giving ME a purpose to put all of my negatives behind me and strive to be more positive in life. Vlad , this is the best interview so far!

Best interview on Vlad yet. Holy shit this mans been thru hell N back.

This interview is amazing. I am watching a man disassemble himself and attempt to reassemble himself in order to live. Heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time!

Awesome interview. I am much older than Jayson Williams and coming from Brooklyn, NY known about him since his high school days and appreciate what he is doing with his life now. Again Great interview.

WOW the best interview on this channel!

Great interview. I really enjoyed his honesty about everything.

He’s a good dude who’s still emotional of what shaped his life. He’s motivating to listen to

Amazing interview

50:22 son!!!! I was rolling for like 10 mins when he said this part. His nuts flapping after getting tased was hilarious to me. It came after such a serious moment and it caught me off guard. I haven’t laughed that hard in years.

This man is truly remorseful. This is a good man! I pray he can find forgiveness for himself. He is humble and human. I hope he can heal.

Met him on a couple occasions, nice dude, big laugh is what I remember the most. I knew things about him, but his story is sad and riveting. I wish him peace and God willing to laugh big,like I saw him do back in the day.

Dang I’m going down a 🐇 🕳. First KID interview, now this, next stop Big U. Glad I found this channel. New subscriber

Now that is a GREAT INTERVIEW! Gd luck Mr Williams 👍🏽

He’s a good brother. GOD bless him and make him overcome all his struggles🙏🙏

Top interview I've seen Vlad do. J Williams SALUTE and Sorry for everything you have been through. Do you think if all of these tragic things didn't happen, would you be where you are today? I have found that when tragic things happen in my life I tend to work harder and focus more to succeed.

I respect and love this man for coming to terms and speaking on things that happened God bless him

One of the greatest interviews that I have seen in a long timemr. Williams have come a long ways and it is really wonderful to see him working with other people but your interview with him was so great and I can sorta I is an OG Queen even that is abusive physically I could rush in and try to help him but abusive on until God humbles him I will not come to his aid I'm very fortunate God has put me in Guadalajara where's peaceful also wasn't us merchant Marine your interview was right on I want to thank and good luck to mr. Williams

Man... I really feel touch by this man being brutally honest when he broke his voice telling his feelings in minute 51:00. You feel his pain, and the admission of his mistake and how badly he'd like to go back in time and stop that from happening... and learn. Maybe that's why I would never gonna have a gun, I just no envision myself killing someone even by accident and live with that kind of pain for the rest of my life. I have so much respect for him for being humble enough to speech over it even though his pain, man... God bless him and help him to health and forgive himself for that mistake

+ His whole story is so sad.

Powerful interview

Good interview!!I was wondering what happened to him. HR was one of my favorites back in thevday!
