Congrats Jarvis on scoring 50 points in a professional game. You have been a scorer all your life. How special was this?

I would say for the most part I think if I go back to college I think it was seen and my time at Minnesota State it was shown more in my first year of pro ball and it was definitely my role then taking a step back in the D league to play a role but after that besides my small time in G league my role has been to score and I’m blessed to score in many ways as you can see

How aware are you that scoring 50 points at any level isn´t easy?

I’m very very aware it isn’t easy. So many things have to go right and to score it effectively is more harder but for me I was surrounded around a group who knew I could do it and they see my work daily and most importantly they wanted me to go get it.

This was the title on eurobasket.com. Jarvis Williams was the best scorer of the day in the world yesterday with the 50 points he had in Amicale. What goes through your mind when you realize that nobody scored more points than you do in the world?

Honestly it’s an unbelievable feeling and it’s still a shock for me that I did it and when it says the World it hit me differently because there are so many other leagues around. But like I say and can’t say enough this was done by my team and coach. They put me in position to score and most of all they kept believing in me.

5 years ago you scored 49 points in a pro game. Did that result annoy you a bit the last years? Being so close to 50 but not achieving it?

Honestly No that was a rememberable game though was game 1 of the playoffs. I was at the time with Sparta had zero points in first quarter and just went from there. I felt I didn’t deserve 50 that night and we lost too.

How rapidly into the game did you know that you might have a really good game?

I would say during the game I kind of felt I’ll have a good game I was aggressive things were going my way but 50 I didn’t see that I’ll say that honestly.

Did you even know you hit 50 points yourself or did a teammate tell you?

I’ll give a shout out a few people Alex Noah and Amazing Bobby. I know for sure Alex and Noah kept telling me the closer I got and Bobby kept feeding me the ball. I can say this what makes this 50 point game that special when you got teammates that are happily cheering for you to score that many points. Jonas Scott Ely Tom Sean Basil Neal Bob Jule all these guys were just genuinely happy and supporting me and just happy for me in getting this amazing accomplishment. I got to give a S/O to our Fans they showed Love and was cheering the closer I got to 50 as well. When I got 40 that was a milestone and of course 50 as well

Does the 50 points motivate you even more to get more points in a future game? Is possibly 60 points realistic? What was your favorite bucket from yourself in the game?

Honestly I never go into a game like that I take it game by game possession by possession and if stuff get to falling my way I’m sure my team will let me know quick fast and in a hurry lol. Of course I’ll love to score 81 like my favorite player Kobe Bryant but you know I’m just thankful for my 50 points in definitely with me for life

Did veteran Billy Mcdaniel have any nice words for you at the end? He himself is a walking bucket and legend in Luxemburg basketball.

Billy is like a big brother to me. I think he was more disappointed they were losing and I happen to have 50 points on them but he did say why you still in game and I have the upmost respect for him we had almost the same journey in Luxembourg. He definitely is a GOAT In this Country.

Do you have to buy the team dinner after a performance like that or how does that work with your team?

I’m sure I’ll owe the team Beer or something for sure they will let me know for sure.

Thanks Jarvis for the chat.
