The NBA will unveil a new season award tonight, before the San Antonio Spurs take on the Miami Heat in game two of the NBA Finals. The award will be introduced by Commissioner David Stern along with the first recipient of the award. The official name of the award is the “Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award”.

Looking at the list of finalist, Jason Kidd, Andre Iguodala, and Manu Ginobili look like the front runners to win, in my opinion. More information will be posted once the announcement is made.
