NBA players have selected the San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan as the recipient of the 2014-15 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award.
The award recognizes the player deemed the best teammate 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.
A panel of NBA Legends nominated six players from each conference for the award and then nearly 300 NBA players submitted their votes through confidential balloting conducted by the league office.
Duncan totaled 1,494 points from the players, including 72 first-place votes. The Memphis Grizzlies’ Vince Carter finished second with 818 points (28 first-place votes), and the Atlanta Hawks’ Elton Brand placed third with 707 points (21 first-place votes).
