In June 2003, just after his rookie season, Jay Williams violated his contract with the Chicago Bulls by riding a motorcycle that he had recently bought.
He crashed the high-speed sport bike into a utility pole in Chicago, severing a main nerve in his foot, fracturing his pelvis, dislocating his knee and causing internal bleeding.
He worked in physical therapy to regain use of his leg but was unsuccessful in his attempts to return to basketball as a player.
He later reinvented himself as an ESPN commentator.
Now, Jay opens up to Oprah about the vision he had at age 17 that presaged the accident.
