I have to put this in the open-as if none of you already know. However I didn't pay DirecTV n they shut it off-but I wanna switch to Charter-if I do that all of my Utah Jazz games that I recorded will be gone-decisions, decisions- I can always watch him on YOUTUBE, but that doesn't really satisfy-It's been 3days! I'm quite honestly having withdrawls. He brought me back into the love of basketball that I lost so long ago-he's exciting and interesting to watch--So here is my confession of love for Deron Williams!!

That's just a few and he's only been in the NBA since 2005 draft pick!!!
Since I always feel like I have to vote for the underdog-In this situation I am, but I'm not-he's proven himself time and time again, however-He can't carry an entire team on his own-but as you can see from some of his highlights above- he's doing the best he can! He has the Will To Win-lol---He'll have his time to shine soon enough-cuz he won't give up until he does.
Did I mention the fact that he runs a non-profit organization called "POINT OF HOPE"
His latest adventure in that was a Harley Run- He's also done a dodge ball game, Celebrity Golf tournament, Charity Basketball games, etc. he schedules something once a month during the season and off season.!
Thank you for letting me vent!! LOL
Did I mention he does tricks too? Seriously, this is him at a benefit golf tournament!*Now would be a good time to mention that I stole most of this from his website www.deronwilliams.com-
