White Chocolate is a nickname for NBA basketball player Jason Williams. He has a flashy style of play. The somewhat racist origin of the nickname is, of course, the fact that he is white, but plays basketball well. One could say that his style of play is more similar to prominent, African-American players than prominent, white basketball players; i.e. John Stockton.

Though he made a name for himself playing for the Sacramento Kings (drafted by them in 1998), he was recently (June 28, 2001) traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies for Mike Bibby.
