He played 12 NBA seasons with the Kings, Grizzlies, Heat, and Magic, during which time his creative court vision and dazzling passes earned him a reputation as one of the league's most electrifying players. Early on in his career, his style of play also earned him the nickname White Chocolate, which became the centerpiece of a persona that propelled him to immense popularity with NBA fans. In 2005-2006, Williams was the third-leading scorer on the Miami Heat team that won the NBA title. Williams is also a one-time All-Star, and he made the most of his 1998 selection with a behind-the-back elbow pass that still makes highlight reels more than 20 years later. He retired in 2011.
