Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams has broken Alonzo Mourning's franchise rebounding mark.

The Hornets' public relations department's official Twitter account broke the news on March 31.

Passing Mourning, a 2014 inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, on the franchise rebounding record books is no mean feat. The 6'10” Mourning is one of the most feared and intimidating rebounders and shot blockers in the game's history (his menacing scowl is enough to make opposing players cower in fear).

Mourning spent the first three years of his NBA career with the Hornets, who made him the second overall pick of the 1992 NBA Draft (behind Shaquille O'Neal). In 215 career appearances with Charlotte, Mourning averaged 21.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 3.2 blocks per game.

While he spent the majority of his 16-year NBA career with the Miami Heat (whom he helped win the 2006 NBA title), Mourning earns a special place in the hearts of Hornets fans. He joined forces with the likes of Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bogues to help Charlotte make several playoff runs in the early to mid-1990s.

While Williams' career doesn't have the luster of Mourning's, the former continues to contribute to the Hornets' cause. Williams, a 14-year veteran, has averaged 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 386 games for Charlotte.

Emeka Okafor is the Hornets' all-time leading rebounder with a franchise career total of 3,516. Rounding out the Top six are Larry Johnson (3,479), Gerald Wallace (3,398), Anthony Mason (2,354), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2,342), and Kemba Walker (2,289).

Even though Williams earned a franchise accolade on Sunday, the team lost in lopsided fashion to the Golden State Warriors on the road, 137-90. Aside from his four rebounds, Williams finished with just two points (on 1-of-5 shooting) and three assists.
