Nikki McCray's career is in its later stages -- she's no longer the dominant force she used to be (especially on offense). It was, for example, a minor travesty that she got more All Star votes than Katie Smith.

But off the court Nikki has been doing great things, and yesterday she was honored with the Community Assist Award. Nikki does a variety of work to help kids -- from reading programs to child abuse prevention programs to just bringing disadvantaged kids to WNBA games.
