The Golden State Warriors announced on Thursday that superstar point guard Steph Curry had won the Professional Basketball Writers Association's 2023 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award.

The Professional Basketball Writers Association also released a statement that said the following:

"Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors has won the 2022-23 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, as administered and selected by the Professional Basketball Writers Association (PBWA). Named after the NBA's second commissioner, the honor is presented annually by the PBWA to a player, coach or athletic trainer who shows outstanding service and dedication to the community. Curry, a four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP, was one of four finalists for the 2022-23 award, along with Los Angeles Lakers center Wenyen Gabriel, LA Clippers forward Paul George and Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams. The finalists were chosen by a committee of PBWA members from nominees submitted by NBA teams. The winner was determined by a vote of the entire PBWA, which is composed of more than 200 writers and editors who cover the NBA regularly for newspapers, magazines and online news outlets."

While he is regularly recognized for his on-court greatness, Curry is always making an impact off the court as well, which makes this latest honor an important one for him and the Warriors. Always looking to impact the community, Curry has been honored with the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award.
