Marvin Williams and the 10-Year Degree
Posted Jan 9, 2017
Marvin Williams was the No. 2 overall selection in the 2005 NBA Draft. Being drafted that high meant that the 19-year-old would bank around $10.5 million. Most people that age would take eight figures’ worth of salary and kiss college goodbye forever. Williams did not. He continued to pursue his degree. “It took me 10 summers,” Williams told Basketball Insiders.
