NBA
In 2004 Chris Duhon was selected in the NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls and proved to be a great asset to the team, helping them to advance in the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. Duhon shows exceptional leadership skills off of the court, as well. In 2007 he was honored with the NBA’s Community Assist Award, particularly for his continued commitment to the New Orleans community following Hurricane Katrina. Duhon's relief efforts included the launch of "Operation 21," an initiative that refurbished 21 basketball courts in New Orleans and surrounding areas by raising more than $450,000 through his Stand Tall Foundation to aid in the city's reconstruction.
