"It's almost like the NBA Sportsmanship Award was created for Grant Hill.

During his second NBA season in 1995-96, Hill saw Detroit teammates Joe Dumars win the inaugural NBA

Sportsmanship Award that would eventually have its trophy named after Dumars in 2000.

Now, Hill is the only player to win the award three times. Hill was the only player to win the award twice before the NBA players selected him again this season over the other five divisional finalists. Last year's winner, Denver's Chauncey Billups, was second, followed by Boston's Ray Allen, Cleveland's Antawn Jamison, Atlanta's Al Horford and Houston's Luis Scola."
