Shammond Williams gives back to community
Posted Jun 27, 2007
On the surface, Shammond Williams is living a charmed life. He's spent most of the past decade playing in the NBA, and his friends and family include teammate Kobe Bryant and cousin Kevin Garnett. But for the 6-foot-1 Los Angeles Lakers reserve point guard, there's a lot more to life than just basketball. "It's not basketball that's important," Williams said. "Developing and helping shape our society, that's what's really important."
