Marvin Williams finds himself starting

Posted Oct 13, 2005

It had been a long time since Marvin Williams had heard his name called for the starting lineup. So long, in fact, he almost forgot to go out on the floor. "It's been since high school," Williams said. "I almost didn't know what to do. I have to admit, I was excited." While Williams never started a game in North Carolina's championship run a year ago, that may not be the case this year with the Hawks. (Birmingham News)
