While playing for Florida, he had 17 assists in one game, setting a school record

While playing for the Gray During his time with the Bears, coach Hubie Brown once teased that Jason could go back to Florida to teach Basketball 102 because the only subject he passed in school was Basketball 101.

Participated in the 2000 All-Star Weekend "Rookie Competition"

Selected to the NBA "All Rookie Team" in the 1998-99 season, averaging 6.0 assists per game, first in the Kings and third in the NBA 17th; made 100 three-pointers, ranked first among rookies; averaged 1.90 steals per game, ranked first among rookies; ranked second among rookies in assists; scored 12.8, ranked fourth among rookies; scored 5 "two-pointers" Double", ranked 5th among rookies; three-point shooting percentage 0.310, ranked 8th among rookies; free throw percentage 0.752, ranked 9th among rookies

On February 5, 1999, participated in the NBA game for the first time , against the San Antonio Spurs, scored the team's highest score of 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists

After graduating from high school, Jason initially played for Providence, where there was a good coach, Rick Barnes. When Barnes left school and came to Clemson, Jason also left Providence.

Came to Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia, a school that focuses on improving the academic performance of young players with outstanding skills in order to enter the college league. But in a test, Jason, who wrote 300 words on the test paper, could no longer stand this strict teaching method.

At this time, Jason's father helped him find a Division-II Marshall University in West Virginia. There, Jason met Billy Donovan. This is a young and open-minded coach who appreciates Jason's basketball talent very much. After Jason spent the 1994-95 redshirt year uneasily, he gave Jason the opportunity to continue playing for the team. In the 1995-96 season, Jason averaged 13.4 points and 6.4 assists per game.

Later, Billy Donovan took a job at the University of Florida, and Jason, who was grateful to him, decided to follow his mentor. Jason, who felt that the opportunity was hard-won, underwent a huge transformation during the 1996-97 season: he would actively participate in every team training; he devoted unprecedented effort to his homework. It's just that as the saying goes, "One's country is easy to change, one's nature is hard to change." The boring book life made Jason hate him again, and he returned to West Virginia again. This is Jason's father Terry's intervention again, convincing his son that he must face reality, learn his lessons well, and work hard to enter college basketball. This is the way out for Jason's life.

After changing his mind, Jason returned to Florida and performed brilliantly in the 1997-98 season, averaging 17.1 points and 6.7 assists per game in the nation's top college league.

His rapid fast-break march on the court, dazzling turnaround layups, unstoppable breakthrough penetration, incredible behind-the-back passing, incredible outside shooting and innate dazzle The style of play made the audience jump out of their seats time and time again, shouting for him so wildly that sometimes you couldn't even tell whether it was a home or away game, and whether the people cheering for him were the home team fans.

Many people compare his dazzling playing style and pleasant appearance to the legendary NBA superstar Pete Maravich. In college basketball at the time, Jason was the most exciting and eye-catching player. However, what is depressing is that when his marijuana scandal was exposed, Jason, who led the team for 20 games, was expelled from the team.

The door to college basketball is no longer open to Jason. As a basketball player, he couldn't stay in school and pretend to be educated. The excruciating boredom caught up with him. Finally, in the spring of 1998, Jason, who was less than 23 years old, declared for the NBA draft.

Many NBA teams do not recognize Jason because of his height, his style of play, his scandals and even his physique. However, the Sacramento Kings, who lacked passionate players at the time and were struggling to find a suitable point guard, did not care about Jason's past. They took Jason with the seventh overall pick in the first round.

·Sacramento Kings—Crazy SHOWTIME

Jason had a difficult rookie season under Rick Adelman, who is known for his training. Born in West Virginia, he suffered from homesickness and showed some discomfort with Adelman's strict military management. Sometimes, he feels that this is not the life he wants, which may prove the old saying to greet rookies: "Welcome to pro sports."

Despite the difficulties in adapting to the NBA, But in the shortened season of 1998-99, Jason still led the team with 299 assists. At the end of the regular season, the Kings achieved a satisfactory record of 27 wins and 23 losses.

However, in the first round of the playoffs against the Utah Jazz, they lost the deciding game 92-99 and were eliminated in despair.

Although the team's record was mediocre, Jason, with his gorgeous playing style, immediately became a major figure in the league's promotion market. Every night, the gorgeous offensive combinations he made have become good materials carefully processed by the league to attract fans. And his nickname White Chocolate has become one of the most widely circulated words in the league. His jerseys were snapped up by fans, and his iconic back-pass inspired teenagers around the world to imitate him. In a league filled with "THE AIR II" Vince Carter's dream dunks, Jason's dazzling, exciting and incredible performance flashed across the fans' eyes. Do you still remember that elbow pass in the All-Star Rookie Game? Remember that drive against Seattle that left Gary Payton stunned?

During Jason's several seasons with the Kings, the team developed a unique offensive system: Jason served as the ball handler, and Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, and Vlade Divac became direct beneficiaries. who. Every night, Sacramento's smooth fast breaks and gorgeous rotations became one of the most talked about scenes among fans, and Sacramento quickly became the darling of broadcasters. In the 14 years before the 1999-00 season, the National Television broadcast truck made only one courtesy visit to Sacramento each year. In the 1999-00 season, the Kings appeared on TV 20 times. In the 1999-00 season, Sacramento won 44 games in the regular season, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the eventual league champions: the Los Angeles Lakers, who were building their dynasty.

In the 2000-01 season, Sacramento surprisingly won 55 games. Doug Christie, who newly joined the team, became the core of perimeter defense that the team relied heavily on. Scot Pollard and Bobby Jackson can come off the bench at any time and provide the team with much-needed rebounds and points. Jason's average statistics this season are 9.4 points and 5.4 assists per game, which is remarkable. However, due to his personal style of play, the stability of his performance has been questioned, and at critical moments, he who is good at performing cannot become an important support for the team.

Sacramento is eager to win a championship, but the presence of main point guard Jason has kept the Kings out of a strong contender for the championship. Jason, whose performance on the field gradually declined, encountered trouble in the 2000-01 season: He was suspended for 5 games by the league due to a marijuana scandal; he made obscene gestures and disrespectful insults to fans, and made inappropriate comments about Asians and homosexuals. He was fined $25,000 by the league. While losing playing time, his career in Sacramento also came to an end. In the summer of 2001, the Kings used him as a bargaining chip to acquire Arizona's top student Mike Bibby from the Grizzlies.

·Memphis Grizzlies - Ice Age

After three seasons of training, Jason is no longer the guy who relies on back passes and long three-pointers to win the house but lose the game. I was stunned. Due to their overall strength, the Grizzlies' record has been ups and downs, but Jason did play a good game under Sidney Lowe.

In the 01-02 season, Jason averaged a career-high 14.8 points and 8 assists per game. In a game against the Houston Rockets earlier this season, Jason scored a career-high 38 points.

In the middle of the 02-03 season, Hubie Brown became the team's head coach. Hubie Brown, a former television commentator, has criticized Jason's playing style more than once for being too flashy and not practical enough. Although their relationship later improved, potential dangers gradually emerged as time went by.

While Hubie Brown put an invisible chain on Jason's style of play, his son Brendan Brown, the team's assistant coach at the time, often had unpleasant encounters with Jason.

In the 03-04 season, this player who entered the NBA with a lottery ticket in 1998 actually sat on the bench for a time. During a live game, Jason even exchanged nasty words with Brendan Brown. The then Grizzlies GM Jerry West realized that it was time to change Jason's club.

In the 2004-05 season, due to physical reasons, Hubie Brown left the Grizzlies before Jason. He was replaced by Mike Fratello, whose relationship with Jason was also not very harmonious. During one conversation, Jason had an unpleasant encounter with a Grizzlies columnist, and the video was recorded. Finally, Jason's time with the Grizzlies has come to an end.

·Miami Heat - Road to Championship

At this time, Jason no longer cares about becoming a league superstar. He is now surrounded by all the frustrations and troubles he has caused. At some point during the season, he heard rumors that he would be traded to the Celtics, which made him depressed to the extreme: Will I become a person who relies on fancy moves to entertain the audience in a team facing reconstruction? A mascot? This inevitable ending with the circus clown made Jason quite pessimistic about his future. But from another perspective, this mentality is an important propellant for him to mature.

Things are turning, and when news comes about the Heat, Jason's prospects take a 180-degree turn: to a team with the most dominant player in history, Shaquille O'Neal, and a Going to the team of explosive guard Dwyane Wade, who is on the rise, and playing a supporting role for the two superstars seems to be the perfect plan for Jason's future career.

Interestingly, Shaq already wanted Jason to play on the same team as him. After meeting for the first time in the 1998 draft, the two became friends and neighbors in Orlando. That year, in a street game, Jason blasted Penny Hardaway in front of a group of crazy fans. From then on, Shaq remembered this little man. He would even compare it to Brent Barry winning the slam dunk contest. Jason. When Shaq was playing in Los Angeles, he pestered the then team GM, the great Jerry West, to lure Jason from the Kings. Now with the Heat, Shaq is still pestering Pat Riley to "get" Jason over.

Finally, on August 2, 2005, in a big deal involving five teams and 11 players, Jason and James Posey came to Miami. For Jason, this is a new opportunity and a fresh start for his entire career. He is determined to stay out of the center of the spotlight and make open jump shots, timely passes and perimeter defense for the team. Most importantly, he was determined to stay out of trouble, stay away from marijuana, and work with Gary Payton, another former top point guard on the team, to pass the ball for Shaq and Wade.

During this "corner time", Jason averaged 12.3 points and 4.9 assists per game.

After missing the last eight games of the regular season due to a right knee injury, Jason successfully entered the playoff roster. Coach Riley needs Jason's experience in the playoffs, and Jason's performance on the court really pleased Miami fans. During Miami's championship run, Jason averaged 9.3 points and 3.9 assists per game.

He performed competently in the first round against the Chicago Bulls, the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New Jersey Nets, the Eastern Conference finals against the Detroit Pistons and the Finals against the Dallas Mavericks.

From being in trouble last year and becoming the target of the team's purge, to becoming an important part of the championship team this year, Jason has experienced such lows and highs until now and truly understands the true meaning of "basketball". Being able to work with the team's two "notorious" veteran players, Gary Payton and Antoine Walker, to jointly move towards the championship trophy is a great test for Jason.

Since joining the NBA, Jason's style of play has been evolving towards the "simple and efficient" route that people remember. Today's Jason has already learned how to hand the ball to Shaq or Wade who has an offensive opportunity in the shortest time and the simplest action. This may be the shortcut to winning the championship.

In fact, it is inappropriate to say that Jason has completely changed his style of play. Deep in his suppressed heart, there is still Jason who is the number one performer. However, his composure on the court can sometimes make people forget the once gorgeous and dazzling showman. Jason is now able to hit key free throws and sometimes hit game-changing long shots from very long distances. Moreover, he is also a very sharp scorer.

In terms of defense, Jason's speed and anticipation can make up for his lack of height and weight to a certain extent.

Jason has always had this question: If I have enough space to make a 360-degree turn and point east and west to detonate the court, then why does the coach insist on me doing a normal pass? Ordinary passing the ball with both hands in front of the chest in exchange for continuous yawns on the sidelines?

His gorgeous playing style, dazzling moves, pleasant appearance, and advanced concepts earned him the nickname White Chocolate. It's just that he is drifting away from victory... All this changed after he came to the Miami Heat.

Gorgeous or basic? Dazzling or plain? The question that had been plaguing Jason was finally answered the moment he held the NBA championship trophy in his arms in the summer of 2006.
