Marvin Williams took advantage of the NBA's All-Star break to come home to Bremerton, where he received a bit of a hero's welcome at his alma mater.
The Knights retired Williams' No. 24 jersey at halftime of the Knights' 51-48 loss to Port Townsend. Williams, 22, is the first former Bremerton High player to be so honored.
"I'm speechless," Williams told the Kitsap Sun. "It's such an honor for my high school to do this. For my city to come out and support me. I've always represented where I was from."
Williams, a 2004 Bremerton graduate who helped North Carolina win a national championship in his only season with the Tar Heels, has a brother, J'Tonn Dale, and a cousin, Andre Coleman, on the current Bremerton team.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft, the 6-foot-9, 240-pound Williams is averaging 13.9 points and 6.5 rebounds in his fourth season with the Hawks.
He scored a career-high 33 points at KeyArena on Jan. 25, 2008, in the Hawks' 99-90 victory over the ill-fated SuperSonics.
