Jay Williams (basketball)
Jason David Williams (born September 10, 1981 in Plainfield, New Jersey), professionally known as Jay Williams, is an American former professional basketball player who played for the NBA's Chicago Bulls. He last signed with the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League, but was waived by the Toros on December 30, 2006 to rehabilitate a nagging injury. Even though his first name is actually Jason, he asked to be known as Jay upon joining the National Basketball Association in 2002. This was to avoid confusion with then-active NBA player Jason Williams, and retired NBA player Jayson Williams.

Famous quotes containing the words jay and/or williams:
“What, is the jay more precious than the lark
Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is the adder better than the eel
Because his painted skin contents the eye?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

there they come and talk to me, just the same.
They come to bother us. Why? I said I don’t
know. Perhaps to find out what we are doing.
Jealous, do you think? I don’t know.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
