Video: Deron Williams Scores 50 Points in Turkey


50 points (on 17/23 shooting, including 7 from deep) in an 104-95 victory for Besiktas over Gottingen. Let’s just say that things are working out OK for DWill in Turkey.

(H/T: NBA Offseason)

    dwill avg 10+ asst with the NETSSSS…… how is he not the bet pg in the lg…… he may not be as flashy as cp3, drose, etccc but he will get the job done and break your ankles ….. cmon ppl open your eyes lol

  • Jason Heartly

    1:15 WEIGHT ROOM. Strong core. Thats what that does for you.

    Considering Chris Paul plays for a similarly talented team in New Orleans (less Talented imo) and has no problems with the team, or coaches, and still wins, I don’t think Williams stats with the Nets vault him to the top or anything. Especially considering he shot like 38%

    pump fake- let the defender sail past you- rise up and drain the 3 koofies is impressive in any country.. one assits, not so much.

  • GC6

    How are people saying D will sucks just because he cant stay with Rose Id say hes the third best PG in the leage after Paul then rose

    WHEEL-YUMS!

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Whoever said CP3 is a better shooter than D-Will needs to re-check allot of things they hold as truth in their life. Just not true.

    darksaber might be the only one here that knows what the euro lesgue actually is

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    ^It’s a basketball league right? Me and Darksaber know what the Euro League is.

  • http://shinefluid@aol.com yada

    this look too easy. he is clearly far and away the best player out there. he looks faster and stronger than everyone else

  • blakos

    Damn, he just torched that team.

  • @DEKNOWZ

    A man among boys.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Funny thing is he isn’t a crazy athlete or anything. He is just out playing everyone with his skills. I wouldn’t be surprised to see LeBron or Dwight or Blake Griffin dominate over there, but to see a dude who doesn’t have any more natural gifts then anyone else go out there and school cats like that is just fun to watch.

  • http://nbaplaybook.com/2011/10/31/how-top-point-guards-in-the-pick-and-roll-are-defended-and-why/#more-16776 nbk

    He’s a 6’4″ 220lb Point Guard. Who is also just as quick or moreso Than everyone else in the whole league he’s playing in. It’s safe to say his natural gifts are an advantage in every game.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Nope. It’s not a natural gift to weigh 220 pounds. It’s not unnatural to grow to 6’4″. He is average athlete at best. Purely he has just developed SKILLS that others do not have and will not have.

  • bigmike100

    Cp3? nah im goin wit rose, rondo, dwill, nd russ. chris paul aint really dat cold no mo afta he came bck frm injury

  • http://www.optimabbc.be Max

    I still think CP3 is the best PG, but I’m biased torwards him.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    ^No your not. Cause i’m not. He’s the best. It’s not by a wide margin that he is better than D-Will and D-rose though.

  • http://nbaplaybook.com/2011/10/31/how-top-point-guards-in-the-pick-and-roll-are-defended-and-why/#more-16776 nbk

    He has PG quickness and unmatched power. To go with his bigger size. Natural gifts.

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    Look how strong he is driving the lane. He’s the best PG at using his body to shield defenders and clear space–and he throws in a little elbow (kinda cheap, but effective) that the refs don’t really see. He went straight through every defender. Like, not around, but straight through.

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    And he looks SO fast out there. He definitely made the right decision–at least someone is playing real ball with real team defense.

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    @ Lake Show: Look at the combination of speed, size, and strength he possesses. Those aren’t natural gifts? The only thing he doesn’t have really are otherworldly hops, but he can still get up when he needs to.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    nbk, D-Will is essentially Kirk Hinrich with an extra 20 pounds of muscle and fat. His skills are what make him so good. His height and weight help, but he is not greatly gifted because of those things. Why didn’t Marko Jaric dominate the L… D-Will is one of the most skilled basketball players today. Not one of the supreme athletes at all though.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    He is not as fast as most PG’s. He is quick, but not fast. Jimmer is just as fast and is he a great athlete?

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    No offense, but are you really trying to argue that strength is not, to an extent, a natural gift? If you don’t have the genes, it doesn’t matter how much iron you pump.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    I’m not offended by that bro. Yes I would argue that strength is not a natural gift. It can be, but any man can become strong. You and I will have to disagree because yes I believe anyone can get bigger and stronger. Not only do I believe that, but it is a fact. No offense.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    LaKeshia, he is not playing against NBA players. Or guys comparable. He is as quick as every PG in that league, and bigger.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    LaKeshow, he is not playing against NBA players. Or guys comparable. He is as quick as every PG in that league, and bigger. Plus he’s a much better athlete than Kirk Hinrich. That is stupidly wrong. I’m out you obviously don’t watch much Deron Williams.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    Click my name before you say something else ignorant.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Oh never mind everything I said. Just found out D-Will can dunk…

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    Yup that’s all that video is, Deron Williams doing simple fast break dunk. Barely getting by his man. Like Kirk Hinrich. Your an idiot.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Have a good Thanksgiving man.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    …and Kirk is not an idiot. He’s a smart guy.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    I know, Kirk Hinrich would never say he’s as good of an athlete as Deron Williams.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    There are at least 20 PG’s in the L who are faster than Williams. If you need me to name them I will. There are PG’s his size and bigger that don’t use their body as well as him. That’s a skill not a natural gift. He’s a solid athlete. What i’m saying is he is in no way reliant on his athleticism to do the things he does. His jump shot, his dribbling, and the way he uses his body are all the reasons why D-Will is great. Not his speed or natural athletic ability.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    He isn’t playing he NBA. He isn’t even playing in the Euro League. He is the biggest, most Physically gifted PG in that league. Period

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Yes your most likely correct with that statement. Doesn’t change the fact that he is a 2nd tier athlete in the NBA, but still capable of doing what we saw from him in this clip any night. Dude is all skills. His body is a semi-natural gift, but he is going to be able to do this for another decade because of his skills. D-Rose i’m not so sure that style of play translates into your 30′s all that well. So he’s going to have to start working on some skills that he can use when his athleticism fades.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    He is still just pushing these guys out of his way. He doesn’t get layups that easily in the NBA. He scored 50 because he’s better than his competition in every way. Not just because he has superior skills. That’s what I’m saying. Your original statement, LakeShow Posted: Nov.23 at 3:45 pm
    “Funny thing is he isn’t a crazy athlete or anything. He is just out playing everyone with his skills. I wouldn’t be surprised to see LeBron or Dwight or Blake Griffin dominate over there, but to see a dude who doesn’t have any more natural gifts then anyone else go out there and school cats like that is just fun to watch.”
    Is completely false.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    Other than it being fun to watch.

  • http://SLAMONLINE.COM LakeShow

    Lol. Might have gone a little over the top saying that he doesn’t have “any more natural gifts.” He does get layups similar to that in the real L though. He is one of a few superstars that doesn’t have supreme athleticism in the L. Meaning it comes from mostly his high basketball skills. He is a good athlete. Not a great one.

  • http://shinefluid@aol.com yada

    dude im a bulls fan ive watched kirk since he came into the league. kirk cant hold dwill jockstrap. and i luv kirk but its true. as far as best pg. ofcourse its d.rose

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    He is a bulldozer though. That is a natural gift. There is maybe 5 PG’s in the NBA right now that have or had as much or more of his combination of size speed and strength. Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis is all I can think of right now.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTRLlwO8dRI&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL datkid

    what’s cool about deron williams tho? he can play virtually any game. You want him to just pass? cool. You want him just to score, come off screens like a 2, create his own shot? cool. you want him to run constantly? cool. he’s athletic enough for that. You want him to play a slow, grind it out offense? cool. He can even defend some 2′s. Deron Williams could literally fit any system in the L. I doubt anybody( *hint hint nbk lol) could name a system he would have trouble fitting into and making an impact.

  • http://www.facebook.com/#!/joe.l.brewer3 BlackPhantom

    Man, D-Will is easily a top-3 PG in the NBA today.

  • mugiwara

    Derons all star game a couple years ago where amazing,for a point guard very athletic dunks. he has just found a more effective way of beating opponents, probably have a longer career because of it.

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    @ Lake Show: “You and I will have to disagree because yes I believe anyone can get bigger and stronger. Not only do I believe that, but it is a fact. No offense.”
    So Kevin Durant could be as strong as Dwight Howard or LeBron James if he wanted.
    Body builds are definitely genetic. Anyone can improve their strength exponentially through workouts, but your genes/”natural gifts” encompass your peak or ceiling.
    Which is why you won’t see Rajon Rondo out-muscling Deron Williams. Ever.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvarpXfSoGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player nbk

    Datkid no there isn’t. I mean there are systems where he wouldn’t be “ideal” but I think he would be very good to great everywhere.

  • meloman2.0

    I watched this thinking it would be an easy 50… but the defence was actually really good… this was impressive. My fav pg

  • http://cnbc.com JTaylor21

    DWill’s a great athlete to me. How many people are that big and still are able to change directions on a dime? Few. He’s not in the same class as Rose/Westbrook in terms of rare athletes but he’s still a world-class athlete.
    nbk, DWill’s a big dude but 220 might be stretching it (DWade’s 220+). He’s around 212-215.

    Heres a guy who loves to ball.
