Jayson Williams: I’ve caused a lot of pain in my life. I accidentally, recklessly, took a man's life. I went to prison for being a coward. And I just… We called the police in 11 seconds, 911, to help him, but I went to prison not for the accident, but for the cover up. There's no feeling in this world, Jim, like taking something that a man ever going to have, what he has, taking him away from anything that… a future. So, what makes me happy is something that when people go through ‘Rebound’ and I see the light go on and they're working on their addiction or when they go through ‘Rebound on the Road’ right here with all these trucks and they come out of re-entry and they coming back into society from being homeless or needing another chance. Cuz if I told you I needed a second chance from you, Jim, I don't need a second chance. I need another chance because I'd be a hypocrite. I've been through my second chances. I need another chance. And we don't ever know when that light's going on.
