Martin Alphonzo Wood, A high school PARADE and MCDONALD'S All-American of the best players in America in 1977. Played under the late iconic UNC coach-Dean Smith, was instrumental in the successes of the Tarheel basketball program. Played with UNC/ACC greats- Sam Perkins, Jimmy Black and James Worthy. Drafted number four overall in the 1981 NBA draft, he played for four NBA teams (Atlanta, Seattle, San Diego & Dallas) but his story is more vast and amazing through his trails and tribulation with alcoholism and the lifestyle of the NBA and his trials with his own personal challenges.
