Jan 25, 2025; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) smiles on the court during the second quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers at Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was named the NBA’s 2024-25 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year on Monday.
The award is based on “selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to team,” according to the league.
Current NBA players voted for the winner, choosing from a list of 12 finalists (six from each conference) who were chosen by a panel of league executives.
A first-time winner of the award, Curry received 66 first-place votes and 1,257 total points to narrowly defeat Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (1,237 points). New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson finished third.
Curry, 37, is an 11-time All-Star and two-time league MVP whose trophy collection also includes the 2010-11 NBA Sportsmanship Award. The guard is also a four-time NBA champion and the all-time leader in 3-point field goals.
The Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award is named for Hall of Famers Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes, teammates on the Rochester/Cincinnati Royals from 1955-58.
In the last game of the 1957-58 regular season, Stokes sustained an injury that led to his falling into a coma days later and becoming permanently paralyzed. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury that damaged his motor-control center. Stokes was supported for the rest of his life by Twyman, who became his legal guardian and advocate.

Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images We’ve made it to the final three weeks of the NFL season. At this point, we have a pretty decent idea of how teams are. Teams like the Broncos and Patriots have to be excited with how their seasons have gone, while the Chiefs and Lions must be disappointed in their likely playoff misses. Those teams aren’t close to being the biggest disappointments in 2025. The Lions are still an excellent playoff team, who could sneak into the playoffs, and the Chiefs have been a dynasty for nearly the last decade, so they can’t be too crushed by one bad season. Here are the three teams most […]
