Bulls' Williams May Be Facing End of Career After Crash
By IRA BERKOW
HICAGO, June 23 - Lying in his bed in the intensive care unit at the
Illinois Masonic Hospital, Jay Williams looked up at Bill Cartwright,
his coach with the Chicago Bulls, and John Paxson, the team's general
manager. This was Friday, a day after Williams, a swift 6-foot-2 guard
and one of the young bright hopes of an up-and-coming team, crashed
his new motorcycle into a pole on a North Side street. The accident
resulted in injuries so serious that the amputation of one of his legs
was considered after an ambulance rushed him to the hospital. 
Surgery was performed on his pelvis and left knee, which sustained
serious ligament damage. While he appears to be out of a
life-threatening predicament, the 21-year-old Williams may be facing
the end of his potentially wondrous basketball career.
[...]
Off the court, he also apparently took risks. He was not wearing a
helmet when the accident occurred, and he was driving without a
license. Williams has been given tickets at least three times since
January 2001 for speeding, reckless driving and unsafe operation of a
motor vehicle, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Sarà che odio le moto, sarà che sei sei segnato ti fai male anche
mangiando due patatine sul divano di casa tua, però se non metti il
casco (poi ti fai male ad una gamba, ok) sei senza patente (non
capisco se mancava solo del documento o proprio mai fatto l'esame) e
non sei nuovo a effrazioni varie ...
Mah ...

Copio&Incollo dal sito dei Bulls:
"Paxson's opening statement on Williams' status:
"It's still far too early in the process for us to give you anything out of
respect for the family, the doctors and the issues of privacy. What I can
tell you in terms of Jay's health is that he does have a pelvic fracture and
the he has ligament injuries to his left knee. But that is as far as I will
go and I will not be answering anything else along the lines of his
injuries.
His family has been unbelievable in terms of their strength and support of
their son. Jay is a strong young man himself. It's been difficult around
here and we've obviously put our minds toward Jay and we know what he is
going through. But I'm very confident that if there is anyone who can battle
through this, it's Jay Williams. When we think about him, we think about him
in terms of being this young man who is 21 that made a mistake in terms of
judgment, but that's not the issue. The issue is him getting better and that
's all we're focusing on as an organization. We're focused on Jay getting
better and we know he's getting great care where he's at.
With the support of his family and friends, he is going to be just fine. We'
re just really concerned about him. I know that you probably have a lot of
questions in terms of what this does for us as an organization, but those
are questions for down the road and not today. We're still just a weekend
through this process and it's far too early to say anything else about that.
I had the opportunity on Friday, along with Bill Cartwright and Fred
Tedeschi, to go down and visit with Jay briefly. The first thing that he
said to me was, 'I'm sorry.' I told him not to worry about it. He's a
conscientious young guy. His spirits were pretty good that day and they've
gotten better each day since.
I had an opportunity to talk to him on the phone briefly both Saturday and
Sunday. On Saturday, he actually picked up the phone himself and talked to
me and he was feeling better. But as you can imagine, he's groggy and he's
sleeping a lot with the pain medication that he's on. It's something that
you guys are probably aware of, but he's drifting in and out quite a bit.
Again, we respect the privacy issues of his family and the doctors, so that
is really all I can tell you about Jay's situation right now."
