Swoosh!! Spotlight Of the Day Goes 2........

 Z'yaire "Krash" Williams an Upcoming Basketball Star in his own right, I Had the opportunity to sit down & phone chat with the Soon 2 be Euro- Italy Bball Star...He began His Journey as a tiny tot with adult aspirations at the tender age of 5 krash( which he is so affectionately known as) was given a basketball  by his father and was told 2 make big things happen it was on from then. through out elementary & part of high School krash was a bit shorter than most of the kids his age according to him"I was always a shorty (he playfully giggled) I grew around 10th grade i was about 6"1 that gave me the height 2 do what I loved" our conversation pressed on as he reminisced over his high school years "It was cool I wasn't a perfect student who is! but basketball was where i felt my priorities lyed" We spoke of how things became a lil' different  when he began to excel on the Christopher Columbus Varsity basketball team and how he dealt with the Groupie love lol..."Girls where cool with me before ball but when I became what they called a "jock" it was like damn bitties from left and right, I never paid mind 2 it though because I knew what they saw wasn't me they saw my basketball and that wasn't what I wanted" Graduating in 2005 From C.C. High school He began to get offers from different HB Colleges and Universities The one that stuck out the most was Syracuse but Due to an Injury during recruitment they became UN-interested that didn't stop Krash from grabbing his dream and Taking that rebound He did a short stint at Saint Joseph College But graduated with his Bachelor's in Child Physcology From the University of Memphis in early 2010 receiving the John May Smith Award for Achievement and Leaving U.M. with a 4.0 GPA . Through out his time in College He made time during his breaks while visiting family to lend his talents to a street ball team "  The Bingo All Stars" he soon became a fan fav his only complaint was the lack of orientation he explained " I was used to coaches grooming us as a family I soon realized we were not playing against another team we were competing against each other for floor spots &coach favorite's. I wasn't with that There's no I in team but On our team It was a Bunch of I's an no team Coaches Were grooming us 2 play like them an not bettering our skills there was no unison and I didn't like It coaches are supposed 2 enhance your game not change it 2 fit them ". Earlier this Year He linked up with Super Star Rapper Jada Kiss and was selected out of thousands to play for his Street Team914 2010-2011 has been great for him. Not too long ago he received news that Europe was looking at him for recruitment. Of all the teams he could've selected he chose Italy or rather Italy chose him  ( Can we Say amazing) so we asked him how did this happen "Honestly it was God who held me down with this because I wasn't looking to go Euro I was told by my old assistant coach that there were tryouts at Fordham University, so i went not thinking anything of it... little did i know there was a Recruiter from Italy sitting in the bleachers, usually the scouts come out during the second tryout because it's more like a game so they can see u play a full game but luckily for me it didn't work out that way (he snickered) Instead of playing for Fordham I got a call from the scout  via video postcard an it was history from there. Recently asked to speak at his Old Jr. High CS6 (in the Bronx,NY) I asked how does it feel to be in this position what would u tell the children that want to follow in your footsteps " well really whatever you do you must thoroughly enjoy doing it. Because for me basketball was my every breath,I play every game like it's my last! I enforced this to myself  I am the best and it came to pass, That's what you have to do in order to reach your goals. I mean It only goes as far as you take it and it has 2 be in a positive way I always say you can't change the game until you change yourself  and that is what gets me by on the court without ego I'm confident but not arrogant and I tell the kids that come up 2 me 2 follow the same guidelines because this world! can taint your image or change you once you become what people label a "star"  I stay Humble because this life wasn't promised 2 me I could be a Statistic But God had a different plan for me so 2 the kids that want 2 do anything positive and make a success of it Don't let it run you, you run it I never was one to flaunt my own success" All this made us think...Krash is such a busy man what is time well spent for him well we asked and were surprised at the the answer. "I try to make a Minute feel like 2 Hours time is what you make it and since I don't have 2 much to spare I try to make it last for as long as possible til' I'm back on my grind". Now with all this said we know the ladies are probably wondering who a man with this much on his plate gives his attention to? Since we over here at TU are Nosey lmao & that is our brotha from another motha we asked. " well I'm single I decided I wasn't looking for her... The right one will find me".   Since he's single we wondered what he looks for in a woman?Ladies wait no longer we got you. "I'm a family man so I def want 2 be able to bring her around and everyone love her as much as I would! it's simple what I look for.. Cute,Educated,Sense of humor,good personality, acceptance of me and what I do because basketball is not a promised career. Straight teeth and excellent Hygiene lol that's my perfect girl". So you ask What His plans are in the future As a backup career well we have the answers " I love Kids you can learn alot from them Sometimes Their Wiser than Us adults" So I realized  I wanted to be a hands on mentor for kids who do not have that structure, my dad passed away when I was 7 yrs old so I know what it is not to have a male figure and no guidance. "How I dealt with it I really can't describe all I can say is I have my good days&bad ones to, I learned to cope  I took the male role early so I wanted to be that blue print for others like me or even those who do not have stable backgrounds. To me everyone needs some source of support or shoulder 2 lean on". All We can say is that This is an incredible Athlete But an Even more Incredible Man We hope to see alot more from Z'yaire and I know we will keep your eyes out for him people cause he's def runnin' down the court dunkin' on em'.
