Marvin Williams dedicates himself to getting college degree

Posted Feb 16, 2012
Marvin Williams may have only played one year of college basketball but he is not your typical one-and-done. After scoring the winning basket in the Tar Heels' 75-70 2005 National Championship Game, he declared for the NBA Draft and left Chapel Hill. While he was done with college basketball, he was not done with college. He still isn't. He wants to graduate and is determined to do so. (NBA.com)
