The Golden State Warriors continue to demonstrate that they are a team united both on and off the court.

Guard Ian Clark - the team's fifth-leading scorer at 6.8 points per game - had his No. 21 jersey retired at Germantown High School on Friday, with several of his teammates in attendance to show their support.

The school is located in the Memphis area, and the Warriors were already in town awaiting their game against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

"Ian has had a great impact not only on the school, but on the entire area because of the kind of person he is," Jason James, the boys’ basketball coach at Germantown High, said in a press release, according to the Mercury News' Anthony Slater. "Ian is a great basketball player, but he’s an even better person. For us to have this relationship is special to me. It’s an honor to be part of the ceremony to have his number retired."

Clark, who attended the school from 2005-09, is the first player to have his number retired, as well as the first player to ever make it to the National Basketball Association.
