Sean Christopher Williams (born September 13, 1986) is an American professional basketball player for the GlobalPort Batang Pier of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
Sean Williams grew up in suburban Arlington, Texas, with his mother and stepfather, Audrey and Lawrence Garrett, and his two siblings: Myles and Brea Garrett. Both are student athletes at Texas A&M University. His father, Roland Williams, lives in Houston, Texas. He did not play organized basketball until he was 15 years old. He became a local standout in community leagues and eventually began playing basketball for Mansfield High School in Mansfield, Texas.
As a member of the Boston College basketball team, Williams began his career as a standout in the paint. He functioned as an intimidating shot-blocking force for his team. Some basketball games were dubbed the "Sean Williams Block Party".
Despite having never played an entire season for Boston College, Williams left the university as a leading shot blocker in the Big East Conference and ACC, respectively during each of his Boston College seasons.
Williams was dismissed from the Boston College basketball team during his junior year, after having been suspended twice during his three-year college basketball career for multiple rules violations, including an arrest for marijuana possession in 2005. During his suspension from Boston College for one semester during his sophomore year, Williams took classes at the University of Houston. Williams established himself as the nation's top college shot blocker by breaking his own record when he blocked 75 shots in only 15 games during the 2006–2007 season.
Williams was selected 17th overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. In February 2009, Williams was arrested while attempting to attend a BC-Duke game in February 2009 for allegedly violating a no-trespassing order. The police report stated he was belligerent while being arrested, writing obscenities instead of his name on the fingerprint card and trespass warning.
