MILWAUKEE – This place represents Kevon Looney’s hometown, where he sharpened his work ethic, formed his resiliency and inspired countless kids.

When Alexander Hamilton High School retires his No. 5 jersey on Thursday, though, Looney’s mind will not wander toward himself or his accolades. Nor will he think ahead to when the Warriors (17-9) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (16-7) on Friday. Instead, Looney will think about who won’t be there among his friends, coaches and family members.
