Stephen Curry just earned the 2024-25 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year award—but not before a playful moment with his Warriors family. During the trophy reveal, head coach Steve Kerr hinted at the honor. Draymond Green guessed “Buddy” and “Looney” before Kerr finally confirmed the winner. Draymond nodded, “Congratulations Steph,” while Curry joked, “I had two other candidates before y’all got to me… Y’all should share it with me.”
Despite being the Warriors’ heart and soul for over a decade, this marks Curry’s first time winning the award, which recognizes selflessness, mentorship, and leadership. Even at 37, battling injuries, Curry elevated every player around him—from rookies like Brandin Podziemski and Quinten Post to veterans like Jimmy Butler and Draymond himself.
The moment captured Curry’s ethos perfectly: lift others, stay humble, and make even award ceremonies feel like a team victory. That’s what real leadership looks like.
