Former Kings point guard Jason Williams made his NBA debut 20 years ago today in Sacramento.
Williams posted on Instagram how much that day, February 5, 1999, meant to him after a seven-month lockout during his rookie season. He gave some insight into how Kings coach Rick Adelman encouraged his player’s flashy game.
“Felt amazing to put on that number 55 Kings jersey and run out there with my brothers to battle against the Spurs, best team in the league at the time,” Williams wrote. “Before the game started, my coach Rick Adelman pulled me aside and said something I still remember to this day!
