MINNEAPOLIS -- It's all happening quickly for Kings point guard Jason Williams. It's not like when he was playing Little League baseball in Belle, W.Va., against rookie All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss.

Or when they formed an awesome pass-catching duo in junior high school. Or when they played hoops together at DuPont High School.

As Kings player personnel director Jerry Reynolds says, "They ought to bottle that water in Belle, West Virginia, and make a whole lot of money."

Wearing Williams' No. 55 Kings jersey, Moss came to watch his former schoolmate perform at the Target Center against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.

Moss sat inconspicuously in the handicapped seating area between the lower and upper section about 30 rows up in the stands.

Williams, in turn, sported Moss' No. 84 Minnesota Vikings jersey when the two were interviewed by Turner Sports Network for a feature scheduled to run next week.

"It was good seeing him," said Williams, who went to Moss' house Saturday night. "I hadn't seen him since just before the (1998) NBA draft and we were working out at the same place in Florida."

Williams said he played the point man on a three-quarters-court press that featured Moss in the middle.

"With him in the middle," Williams said of Moss, "it was like we didn't even need the two wings. He could get over to the other side of the court and then get back before you knew it. He's just a great athlete. He can do everything. It was always fun playing with him or against him.

"It's so exciting to watch him do anything, whether it'd be basketball or ping-pong. He jumps out of the gym."

Williams and Moss experienced a lot of success playing for DuPont High but lost in the state championship game.

"We played together for two years," Williams said. "He was one year behind me, and we got all the way to the finals and got beaten in the championship game by Martinsburg. It was at the Charleston Civic Center. I only got to play there once and we lost. I was crushed."

Overall, however, Williams said playing with Moss was a blast.

"Our coach really didn't stress running the offense or playing real sound defense," Williams said. "He wanted us to gamble. He wanted us to throw lobs and run because that was what we could do best. You can imagine what Randy was like in that type of game."

Williams says he doesn't talk a lot during games now, but he did in high school.

"I think we kind of intimidated people. We came out and talked a little bit of trash, but then again, we were a lot better than everybody else, too."

That makes sense considering the small town had a high school basketball team starring two of the world's best athletes.
