Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley has earned the NBA Sportsmanship Award for 2015-16.
It marks the second time Conley has won the award after collecting the honors back in 2013-14. Conley is only the third player to win multiple times, joining Grant Hill (three-time winner) and Jason Kidd (two-time winner).
Conley was one of six divisional winners for the award, joining Shaun Livingston, Damian Lillard, Pau Gasol, Luis Scola, and 2014-15 winner Kyle Korver. Conley narrowly beat out Korver in the final vote, earning 58 of 327 first-place votes.
The NBA will make a $10,000 donation to the Methodist Healthcare Foundation on behalf of Conley, who will also make $5,000 donations to the charities of the other five finalists.
