The Washington Huskies men's basketball team will have another legendary player's jersey joining the rafters this weekend.

Weeks after retiring the No. 11 belong to his former teammate, Christian Welp, the Huskies will hang Detlef Schrempf's No. 22 up in the rafters Feb. 28 at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle. The jersey retirement ceremony will coincide with UW's game against Wisconsin, which begins at 1 p.m. PT at Alaska Airlines Arena.

Schrempf, a German native, moved to Centralia, Wash., for high school, where he won a state basketball championship.

Schrempf stayed in the Pacific Northwest and was a four-year player with the Huskies, where he ramped up several individual accomplishments while helping to lead the program to more general success.

Schrempf played for Washington from 1981-85, where he earned two first-team All-Pac-10 selections from '84-85. He was named third-team All-American in '85.

During his time with the Huskies, he helped lead the team to two NCAA Tournament appearances ('84-85). UW made the Sweet Sixteen in '84. He was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 1995.

Schrempf parlayed his collegiate success into a notable professional career. He was selected eighth overall in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks. He played with the Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, Seattle SuperSonics and Portland Trail Blazers across 16 professional seasons 1985-2001. He was named an All-Star three times ('93, '95, '97), third-team All-NBA ('95) and was a two-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year ('91-92).

Schrempf returned to the SuperSonics for a six-season stint from '93-99 that included two-of-three All-Star selections ('95, '97).

Schrempf helped the SuperSonics to a Western Conference championship in '96. Schrempf and Seattle ultimately lost in six games in that year's NBA Finals to the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. The German-born power forward also served as an assistant coach for the SuperSonics from '05-07.

Schrempf was the first German-born player to make it to the NBA Finals. Since he's done it, only three other players, Dirk Nowitzki, Maxi Kleber and Daniel Theis, have accomplished that feat.

It was the last NBA Finals berth for the SuperSonics before they relocated and rebranded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008.

Due to his time with Seattle and Washington, Schrempf has become an iconic figure in Seattle sports.

The SuperSonics aren't around to honor the former All-Star but Alaska Airlines Arena will now forever be a place can recognize Schrempf's contributions to the city's sports scene wit his jersey up in the rafters.
