Deron Williams biography — NBA career story, legacy, championships, awards and personal background.
Career timeline, milestones, and place among all-time greats.
A game-tying three and a go-ahead overtime shot in the 2005 NCAA Regional Final are still remembered as two of the biggest moments in Illinois basketball history — the kind of poise that made Deron Williams an early favorite in a stacked draft class that also included Chris Paul. Born June 26, 1984, in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Height 6 ft 3 in (191 cm).
He played at Illinois (2002–2005), reaching the national championship game. Drafted 3rd overall by the Utah Jazz in 2005, he spent six seasons running the Jazz's pick-and-roll offense before a 2011 trade to the New Jersey Nets, where he continued his career as the team relocated to Brooklyn. He later played for the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers.
A three-time NBA All-Star (2010–2012), Williams made the All-NBA Second Team twice (2008, 2010) and scored a career-high 57 points in a single game in 2012.
Career totals: 13,804 points (16.3 ppg), 6,819 assists (8.1 apg), 2,619 rebounds (3.1 rpg) over 845 games and 12 seasons.
He won an Olympic gold medal with Team USA in 2008.
