Okay, so I saw this name, Jaylin Williams, pop up a few times in basketball news, and I got curious about his background. I mean, there are two Jaylin Williams playing in the NBA right now! So, I decided to dig a little deeper and see what I could find out about their ethnic backgrounds.
First, I hit up the usual spots, you know, the big sports websites. I figured they’d have some basic info on both players. They had their basic stats and where they played college ball, but nothing really juicy about their backgrounds.
Then I started looking up each player individually. I found out one of the Jaylin Williams plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder. I scrolled through a bunch of articles about him, mostly about his games and how he’s doing in the NBA. But then I found an interview where he talked a bit about his family and his roots. I learned that his dad’s side of the family is Vietnamese.
Trying to find information about the other Jaylin Williams, who is the center in the Arkansas Razorbacks, was a bit harder. I did find a little information that suggest he is African-American.
Here’s What I Found Out:
- Jaylin Williams (Oklahoma City Thunder): He’s got Vietnamese heritage from his dad’s side. He even talked about it in an interview.
- Jaylin Williams (Arkansas Razorbacks): It looks like he is African-American.
So, there you have it. It took a bit of digging, but I finally pieced together some info about these two basketball stars. It’s always interesting to learn a bit more about the players you see on the court!
