Ellington, the Most Outstanding Player at the 2009 Final Four, has had to live with more than the normal ups and downs of a pro athlete. In 2014, his father was shot to death while sitting in his car in Philadelphia. Ellington channeled his grief into several anti-gun violence programs. (Chapelboro.com)
