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:
“Ask every person if he’s heard the story,
And tell it strong and clear if he has not,
That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory
Called Camelot ...
Don’t let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known
As Camelot.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one—and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
