Smith became the third player in Knicks history to win the award, despite not starting one game this season.

Smith averaged 18.1 points in 80 games this season and was a key part of clinching New York’s first Atlantic Division title since 1994.

Smith has a player option for 2014 remaining on the two-year $2.8 million deal he signed this offseason.
