Eye Candy of the Week: Comeback King Jay Williams

We love former Chicago Bulls point guard Jay Williams for his perfect lean muscles, impeccable style, sexy bald head and, most of all, for his resilience. The 28-year-old former basketball star's life was forever changed when a motorcycle accident caused him to leave the game he always loved. He turned his injury into opportunity to explore other ventures, fostering a career as a sports analyst and an entrepreneur. We talk to him about life off the court and what it takes to win the heart of this self-professed "old soul." Here's what you had to say: Donna commented: "I love Jay. I think he is a real Black man. I love the way he is and I loved him at Duke University." Sand wrote: "I have one word for this young man -- Sexy!"
