Shane Battier honored

HOUSTON -- Shane Battier made his mother and college coach proud on Wednesday.

The Rockets forward was one of six NBA stars selected as a divisional winner for the 2006-07 NBA Sportsmanship Award, putting him in the running for the league's top honor at the end of the regular season.

Battier became the second straight Houston player to receive the honor after Rockets center Yao Ming earned the nod last season.

"I'm honored by the recognition," Battier said. "I've always tried to play the game the right way and I've always tried to practice good sportsmanship. This is a great game and I try to set a good example for the kids watching out there."

Notes: Battier earns division award for Sportsmanship
