NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Curry picked up another NBA award Monday, being voted the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year by his peers in the league.
Already a two-time NBA MVP and the league’s career leader in 3-pointers, Curry was honored this time for his “selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to team.”
Curry has spent his entire 16-year career with the Golden State Warriors, helping them win four championships, and is one of the league’s most popular players.
He received 66 first-place votes and 1,257 total points to beat out Houston veteran center Steven Adams, who appeared on more ballots and finished with 46 first-place votes and 1,237 points. Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks captain who won the Clutch Player of the Year award, finished third.
A panel of league executives chose 12 finalists for the award and current players voted from the list.
