    Well deserved. Definitely one of the nice guys of the NBA and you can tell that he's a class act off the court by the way he conducts himself in interviews and stuff.

    That's awesome. I never knew this award existed before, but I think he's definitely deserving. Matter of fact, most of the players on our roster show good sportsmanship. Congrats to Parker.
