In recognition of Dirk's outstanding efforts in the community the NBA has honoured him with the Community Assist Award for December 2007.
"There are so many different ways to help our community. Whether it is
through a team event or something I can do on my own, I just enjoy the
opportunity to give something back to the Dallas community that is
always there to support me," said Nowitzki. "Helping kids is one of the
best things I get to do as a professional athlete, and it is a privilege
to be a part of those events."
Congratulations!
