Stephen Curry, point guard for the National Basketball Association’s Golden State Warriors, has been named the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the second month in a row, earning the honor for December 2015 after also receiving recognition in November.
A select panel of members of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (NSSA) conducted the voting. The voters selected Curry based on another outstanding performance that saw Curry average 28.7 points and 7.2 assists per game while shooting .510 from the floor and .447 from three-point range.
Other finalists for the month of December in order of how the NSSA voters ranked them included: Antonio Brown (football), Lindsay Vonn (skiing), Braden Holtby (hockey), Drew Brees (football), Marcus Peters (football), Jenn Suhr (track & field), Jamie Benn (hockey), Enzo Maccarinelli (boxing) and Bubba Watson (golf).
His selection as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for the month of December 2015 recognizes Curry as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month and finalizes the field of candidates eligible to receive the overall Hickok Belt® Award for 2015, including Tom Brady, James Harden, Jordan Spieth, Bryce Harper, LeBron James, Carli Lloyd, Jake Arrieta and Daniel Murphy.
The overall winner of the Hickok Belt® Award for 2015 will be announced in the coming weeks.
