NBA All-Star Paul Pierce and legendary basketball coach John Wooden are two names every basketball fan knows -- each have made their mark on the game in their own way. The two greats recently received high honors from the HAX Gym in Hawthorne during a fund-raising dinner, which helped generate much needed funds for programs that help inner-city kids with academic and athletic scholarships.

Pierce is being honored for his community service work, Rajon Rondo just received recognition for his work in the community and Bill Walker's been a staple in this department all summer. This is how professional athletes should conduct themselves.
