Tim Duncan, after 18 years in the NBA, is still collecting hardware.
The Spurs big man was named as the recipient of the 2014-15 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award on Wednesday as the result of a player vote. He took 72 first-place votes from nearly 300 NBA players who voted.
According to a release, the award “recognises 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.”
Duncan is the third recipient of the award, with Chauncey Billups and Shane Battier winning the last two seasons.
For winning the award, the NBA will make a $25,000 donation split among five charities selected by Duncan: My Brother's Workshop, the American Cancer Society, Ten Thousand Helpers, the St. Croix Interscholastic Athletic Association and the St. Croix Foundation.
Vince Carter finished second in voting, while Elton Brand, Ryan Anderson and Jameer Nelson rounded out the top five.
