"It seems another J Williams is making a run to return to the NBA. Jayson Williams, the former Nets star and rebounding guru who was forced to retire in 1997 with a bad back and consequently found himself in calamitous legal trouble involving the shooting of his limo driver, was seen scrimmaging with Clippers star Elton Brand and two other players at Basketball City the other night.

Between scrimmages, Williams kept active by running wind sprints. Screenwriter Penny Marshall stopped by after watching a match at the U.S. Open to see them play. "He's trying to get back in shape for a comeback," said our source. Williams and Brand were back the next day to continue the workout."

Ummm. Didn't he shoot someone? I mean I was all sympathetic of his plight, but he shot someone and tried to cover it up. I mean these are facts right? I've always related to Jayson because we went to the same college and had the same birthday and similar personalities, but I mean he did shoot someone, RIGHT? Didn't he shoot a dog too?

I guess Elton Brand is a gangsta. I saw him do an interview of Llyod Banks. Booyaka booyaka.

yes.. he did shoot his dog on purpose and also shot a person, but that was on accident. Geeze, people are sensitive.

Think maybe he just needs the $$$ ?

Yeah I think the 12 million a year sitting and not playing was not quite enough. I think he wants people to remember him for his rebounding, and not for his shooting his driver in the chest and trying to get Benoit Benjamin to cover it up.

Isn't he collecting tens of millions of dollars on his contract from the Nets insurance company for suffering a career ending injury? If he comes back, won't the insurance company complain just a little bit and try to get back their money?
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System
