Marvin Williams keeps it low-key despite high profile
Posted Aug 1, 2005
Sure, Marvin Williams could start spending some of the nearly $19 million the Hawks will pay him over the next five years. But it's just not his nature. "Basketball is what I care about, what I love," said the 19-year-old Williams, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NBA draft. "I'm not worried about anything else but basketball right now." Clearly. Williams has no car, a limited wardrobe that consists mostly of Hawks attire, and no real desire to splurge on the things a young millionaire could if so inclined.
