Jason Williams turned heads the moment he hit the league as a rookie. His handles were so quick that defenders never got their feet set, and his passing went places nobody expected the ball to travel.
Thread a bounce pass through a gap the size of a shoelace? He did it. Fire a no-look bullet behind his back to a teammate camped in the corner? That came out of the same possession. Nobody in the league had built a dribble package like his, and for a while it looked like nobody ever would.
SLAM 35 dropped near the end of that rookie season, right in the middle of one of the tightest Rookie of the Year races the league has seen. Williams, Vince Carter and Paul Pierce kept trading big nights. One would knock down a game winner, another would finish something ridiculous at the rim, and the debate would start over again.
That issue gave us our first triple cover ever. Each of the three rookies fronted his own version, and all three were part of one story inside, a debate between three SLAM writers that ended with the editor-in-chief picking a winner. Our digital archive still has it.
Williams never took home the award. He did land in hoops legend anyway, thanks to a highlight reel people still watch by the millions and an elbow pass so famous it got its own name. That pass showed up exactly once in the league. It's still the benchmark for passing showmanship.
