Holiday, 31, also won the award in 2019-20 while playing for the New Orleans Pelicans. He is the first multiple winner of the award, presented since 2012-13.
He averaged 18.3 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds in 67 games (64 starts) for the defending champion Bucks in 2021-22.
The award is named for Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes, teammates with the Rochester/Cincinnati Royals from 1955-58.
Stokes was injured on the last day of the 1957-58 season, went into a coma days later, and was ultimately paralyzed. Twyman became his legal guardian and advocate and supported Stokes until his death in 1970. Both men are enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
