The Hawaii Hammerheads held their first official news conference Friday at the Grand Naniloa Hotel, where mayor Harry Kim broke the ice with his self-deprecating sense of humor.
“I don’t like being around basketball players because I feel so short,” Kim joked to the roomful of business and community leaders and tall Hammerheads. Kim was later presented a jersey and named official captain of the Hammerheads.
Then he praised Hammerheads president and coach Kevin Williams for his vision of community involvement, which includes more than just reading books to school kids or putting on the occasional sports clinic.
