Jay Williams wasn't in an NBA uniform for long, but he was in one long enough to see some pretty jaw-dropping wagers.
Less than a decade removed from the Tim Donaghy betting scandal, the NBA is probably more than just a little sensitive when it comes to stories about gambling and its employees. So you have to imagine commissioner Adam Silver & Co. were less than thrilled to see what former Duke star and lottery pick Jay Williams had to say on “The Brilliant Idiots” podcast on Monday.
Talking about his brief run with the Chicago Bulls, Williams opened up on the lifestyle of -- and pitfalls facing -- an NBA player … especially a young one.
