Shelden DeMar Williams (born October 21, 1983 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is a former basketball player for the Duke University men's team. His size (6'9", 250 lbs.), aggressive style of play, and shot-blocking ability make it seem as though he "owns the paint," thereby earning him the nickname "The Landlord." He plays power forward and is in his Senior year at Duke. He wears the #23 on his jersey. Williams earned the 2005 National Defensive Player of the Year, becoming only the sixth Duke Blue Devil to obtain that award since 1987. He holds Duke's career blocks record, single-season blocks record, and career rebounding record, while he is 17th in career blocks on the NCAA charts. He is the third player in ACC history to have 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds and 350 blocks (joining Tim Duncan and Ralph Sampson). His 1,217 rebounds and 1,859 career points rank him seventh in ACC history and sixteenth in Duke history, respectively. Williams became only the third Duke basketball player to record a triple-double when Duke defeated Maryland on January 11, 2006, recording 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks. During high school, Williams was a member of the National Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He notes his favorite athletes as Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Garnett. He is majoring in sociology with a markets and management studies certificate.
