Marvin Gets His Travel On
Posted by: Micah Hart on August 17, 2007 at 7:54PM AFT

If you've been reading Sekou Smith's articles in the AJC lately, you know he has been checking in with some of the Hawks during the offseason to see what they have been up to (so far he's interviewed Josh Smith and Josh Childress). It's interesting reading for sure, so make sure to check it out.

Both the Joshes have been busy this summer, but they aren't the only Hawks who've been traveling around. Marvin Williams is currently in Hong Kong as part of NBA Madness, an offshoot of the popular Basketball Without Borders program the NBA does during the summer.

From the press release:

"NBA Madness Hong Kong tipped off today with an opening ceremony took place at Citiplaza in Tai Koo Shing, Hong Kong.

Joined by local celebrities Bosco Wong and Charles Szeto, the opening ceremony started with the energetic dance performance of Silver Dancers from the 2007 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs. The 2 celebrities also had a great time learning some NBA dance steps from the Silver Dancers. Thunder from the Golden State Warriors also staged a dunking show with the two celebrities.

Marvin Williams, a rising star of the Atlanta Hawks, received warm welcome by fans at Citiplaza while he encourages the NBA fans to join him in NBA Madness for the rest of the week. He also shared his experience in the NBA with the fans. DHL once again delivered the Larry O'Brien Trophy to the NBA Madness venue and the trophy was unveiled publicly for the first time in Hong Kong by Marvin. After the ceremony, Marvin played the free throw conga with the two celebrities and a top HKBA player and he knocked them all out!"

Pretty cool stuff for Marvin. Here are a few pics from the event as well.
