SAN FRANCISCO — Steph Curry is, officially, the best teammate in the NBA.

The Warriors’ superstar was named the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year on Monday morning, becoming the first Golden State player to earn the honor since the award’s inception in 2013.

Curry, who has helped the Warriors win four championships in his 16 years with Golden State, received 66 first-place votes and 1,257 total points to beat out Houston center Steven Adams, who finished with 46 first-place votes and 1,237 points. New York Knicks captain Jalen Brunson, 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. Curry was rewarded 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.”

The award is named in honor of Maurice Stokes and Jack Twyman, who were teammates on the Rochester Royals in the 1950s. When Stokes became paralyzed in 1958 following a seizure, Twyman became his legal guardian and helped care for the forward until Stokes’ death in 1970.

This is not the first time Curry has been recognized for being a great teammate.

During his second season, Curry won the NBA Sportsmanship Award in 2011, an honor bestowed to “a player that best represents the ideals of sportsmanship on the court.”

Curry, 37, averaged 24.5 points per game this season in 70 starts, being named to his 11th All-Star team.
