    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Camby joins Shaquille O'Neal of the Miami HEAT (December) and Steven Hunter of the Phoenix Suns (November) as recent winners of the NBA?s Community Assist Award. Other players nominated for the NBA Community Assist Award for the month of January include, P.J. Brown of the New Orleans Hornets, Jason Richardson of the Golden State Warriors and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.

    As the recipient of the NBA Community Assist Award, Camby will receive the David Robinson Plaque with the inscription, ?Following the standard set by NBA Legend David Robinson, who improved the community piece by piece?. During the 2002-03 season, NBA Commissioner David Stern presented former San Antonio Spurs center David Robinson with an honorary plaque and announced that all future winners of the NBA Community Assist Award would receive the David Robinson Plaque. In addition to the plaque, a $5,000 gift will be given to the Cambyland Youth Foundation in his honor. </div>

    Good for him. He is trying to repair his image, that is a good thing. Most people wouldn't care how the league looked at them after such a case like Kobe's, but Kobe cares and is trying to fix up his image.

    I'm glad he is taking the effort to help the community and hopefully clean his image. Kobe is already a good guy, it's sort of sad since he is already a good person, just the fact that all these unfornuate events happened to him.
