    Willie Green will be the 6th man for the 76ers
    when the 76ers tip off their home opener
    against the Atlanta Hawks, but there was a
    time when Willie Green, was one of Detroit
    Mercy's best players. Now Willie Green,
    with a 5-year, 15 million dollar contract
    is giving back to the community.

    "I wanted to do something for my former Titan teammates to show my appreciation for their friendship and all the good times we shared," Green said. "The University and the Titan basketball program played a key role in my development during my time there and I'm very happy to be able to give back in this way."


    Willie Green averaged a career high 22.6 PPG
    in his final year of college basketball,
    before being selected by Billy King and
    the 76ers VIA Seattle Sonics.

    Overall, I think it's good that Willie Green
    is able to do something like this for the alumni
    and his former team-mates, as well as to show
    his relatives and stuff he cares. I think
    that Willie Green, Andre Iguodala, Kyle Korver
    are the most mature 76ers. It fills me with
    joy to hear these unselfish athletes perform
    greater things then dunks and 3pt shots.

    Good to hear, everyone in the league are doing good things lately.

    BTW, you should really quote that part from the article.
