Mavericks' Deron Williams leads Grannies With Attitude to dodgeball glory

FRISCO, Texas -- Deron Williams wanted his charity event to be different. Mission accomplished for the Dallas Mavericks' point guard.

Williams loves golf, as many NBA players do, but there are dozens of charity golf tournaments every offseason. He preferred to pick a less traditional sport in hosting a charity event, so he decided to go with dodgeball.

Uniforms were mandatory for the teams entered in Saturday's Deron Williams Celebrity Dodge Barrage. And Williams picked the uniforms for his team, which returning Mavs knew was potential trouble.
