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.

More than 300 NBA players submitted their votes through confidential balloting conducted by the league office. The 12 nominees were chosen by a panel of NBA legends as well as executives from the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association.

Carter totaled 1,448 points from the players, including 65 first-place votes. The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Kevin Garnett finished second with 916 points (39 first-place votes), and the Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh placed third with 799 points (18 first-place votes). Ten points were awarded for a first-place vote, seven for a second-place vote, five for a third, three for a fourth and one for a fifth.

An eight-time NBA All-Star and two-time All-NBA Team selection, Carter has spent the last two seasons of his 18-year career with Memphis. Carter ranks 24th on the NBA’s career [http://028ybtg.com/comment/html/?137833.html Curry's disappearing act has Warriors scratching heads] scoring list (23,969 points) and sixth in three-pointers made (1,937). He finished second to the San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan in last year’s voting for the Twyman-Stokes honor.

Carter will be presented with the Twyman-Stokes trophy by 2013-14 Teammate of the Year winner Shane Battier on Wednesday, June 8 in an on-court ceremony during Game 3 of The Finals 2016 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in Cleveland. As part of its support for the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award, the NBA will make a $25,000 donation to Carter’s Embassy of Hope Foundation, which assists organizations and individuals in improving the quality of life for children.

Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes, whose storied friendship transcended their Hall of Fame accomplishments, are honored with an annual NBA award in their names that recognizes the ideal teammate. Twyman and Stokes were teammates on the Rochester/Cincinnati Royals from 1955-58. In the last game of the 1957-58 regular season, Stokes suffered 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.

Twyman helped organize the NBA’s Maurice Stokes Memorial Basketball Game, which raised funds for Stokes’ medical care and, after Stokes’ death in 1970 at age 36, for other players in need. Below is the list of voting totals for the 2015-16 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award:

Warriors React to Game 3 Loss
-While Cavs coach Tyronn Lue must weigh the benefit of bringing Love back into the mix and potentially destroying the matchup advantage the Cavs enjoyed without him in their 120-90 win, Kerr and the Warriors must resolve Curry. He was missing in the figurative sense in Game 3, and really for the entire series so far. Taking it a step further, in nine Finals games dating back to last summer, Curry has yet to unleash a volcanic effort, the kind that repeatedly defined his historic season and elevated the Warriors into superteam territory. He knows and they know.
+Steve Kerr, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson address the media following a game 3 loss to the Cavaliers.
-"I have to play 100 times better," Curry admitted. "I didn't play my game. I'm disappointed I didn't help my team win."
-Once again we're seeing things from Curry that stir the imagination, the difference being, these aren't shots from halfcourt. These are psychological stumbles and amazingly tame performances. In the second quarter, after a sloppy foul, Curry was yanked and had to answer to Kerr on the bench. Imagine that: During a championship game, a player of Curry's level required a lecture -- nothing angry, but still -- and a wakeup call from the coach. That rarely happens this time of year to franchise players, and almost never to Curry any time of year.
-I have to play 100 times better. I didn't play my game. I'm disappointed I didn't help my team win.
-– Golden State's Stephen Curry
-"I would've done the same thing," said Curry. "He's trying to figure some life and a way to get me going."
+"I've got to be more assertive in my scoring and playmaking on the floor," he said. "There's a sense of urgency knowing how big Game 4 is, and I need to be ready."
-It was that type of game, and really that kind of series so far for Curry. He sleepwalked through much of the first half, didn't score his first basket until four minutes before the break, suffered whiplash on backdoor cuts by Kyrie Irving and lost control of the ball three times in the game's first five minutes. With Curry trapped in the kind of fog that swallows the Bay Area during morning rush, the Cavs seized advantage and raced to a sizable lead they would keep until the buzzer.
+He's averaging just over 16 points against the Cavs, a dozen below his average from the Western Conference finals and 14 below his regular season average. He's also shooting 44 percent overall and 40 percent from deep, also below his norm. He's had company; Klay Thompson scored just 10 points Wednesday and is also checking in below average for the series, and these two guards generate the most points and create open shots for others. You can understand why Kerr is scratching his head.
-His matchup with Irving would seemingly give him the upper hand, mainly because of Irving's reputation as a weak defender. Instead, Irving ripped through Curry for 16 points in the first quarter while Curry replied with astonishing passivity and only five first-half shots. He looked, dare we say, timid? It was an odd performance by Curry on both ends which cost the Warriors, who take their cue from him, precious energy if not the game.
+"Didn't matter the first two games because other guys scored and we've got lots of good offensive possessions," said Kerr. "Tonight, obviously, it did matter. We didn't get a lot of great looks for them."
-"I had a couple of lapses where I didn't follow the gameplan, and Kyrie gets an easy layup, gets his confidence going," he said. "I take the blame for that."
+Last summer Curry had a strange series against the Cavs. He averaged 26 points but shot only 44 percent, low for him, and for two games Cavs backup Matthew Dellavedova made a name for himself at Curry's expense. After the Warriors fell behind 2-1, they flipped the series in their favor not mainly because of Curry, but Andre Iguodala, who won Finals MVP.
-Curry has 48 points in these three games. He didn't score less than 50 in three straight games all season. The sudden and drastic offensive drop-off from then to now seems curious if not startling.

+This season Curry established himself as the face of the NBA (although LeBron James might object) but ankle and knee issues interrupted his postseason. Still, he finished strong against Russell Westbrook and OKC, with 31, 31 and 36 points to close out that comeback series, and entered the Finals feeling and looking fresh.
