The Sacramento Kings' Corliss Williamson will end his 14-year NBA career on Wednesday afternoon when he announces his retirement.

The 33-year-old Williamson, known as "The Big Nasty" for his bruising play will make the announcement at the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in Little Rock.

He's set to become an assistant coach at Arkansas Baptist College.

"It's huge. He's already been working with our post players," said Charles Ripley, Arkansas Baptist's athletic director and basketball coach.

"Being a pro, he has their utmost attention. They're just excited. They can't wait to come work with him," Ripley added.

"Every kid wants to get where he got to," Ripley said. "He's a wonderful coach. He's got great work ethic and great personality on the floor. We're just tickled to death."

Williamson was the most outstanding player of the 1994 NCAA Division I tournament and led the Arkansas Razorbacks to the title game in 1995 as well. UCLA denied Arkansas' bid for a repeat championship.

The Kings selected Williamson with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the 1995 NBA Draft.

He enjoyed his best year for the Kings during the 1997-98 season when he averaged 17.7 points per game.

Sacramento traded Williamson before the 2000-01 season to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Doug Christie.

Williamson eventually played for the Detroit Pistons, where he won an NBA title and was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2003-2004.

He returned to Sacramento in 2005 when he was included in the Chris Webber trade to Philadelphia.
