Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett was honored Tuesday with the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for outstanding service and dedication to the community.

Garnett set a standard for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, donating $1.2 million to Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network to build 24 houses over the next two years. He also played in a charity game that benefited Katrina victims and donated $100,000 to Malaysian tsunami relief efforts."
