History of the NBA MVP

The National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given to the best performing player of the regular season. The winner receives the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is named in honor of the first commissioner (then president) of the NBA, who served from 1946 until 1963.Since its inception, the award has been given to 41 players. LeBron James is the most recent recipient of the award for the 2020–21 season.

The award was originally established by the Professional Basketball Writers Association (PBWA) in 1955. Originally, every head coach and team captain were allowed to vote for one player in their respective leagues. In 1960–61, changes were made so that only head coaches voted while a player was awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote, and one point for each third-place vote. This point system was abandoned in 1963–64 so that sportswriters again voted for who they deemed as the best player that season. Sportswriters would also frequently cast ballots programmatically instead of individually, sometimes succeeding with large slates that ran counter to conventional wisdom; this practice was stopped after media members complained that it worked against players who might not have been widely known outside their own cities but were nonetheless having great seasons (such as Bob Boozer and Guy Rodgers in 1961–62).

In 1975–76, when Kansas City Kings guard Nate Archibald became just the second player ever to lead both major statistical categories (points and assists) outright for an entire season, he was left off 13 of 23 total ballots; he received only four first-place nods despite being both a consensus All-NBA First Team selection and league leader in both points and assists per game. Archibald’s shocking omission from such a high percentage of MVP ballots caused establishment basketball figures such as then-Boston Celtics GM Red Auerbach to speak out against what he saw as an injustice; those figures’ complaints led directly to changes in how MVP voters would be selected in future seasons. In 1979–80, Charles Barkley became just third player ever to lead both statistical categories outright while playing fewer than 40 minutes per game; he received only five first-place votes despite being a consensus All-NBA First Team selection and league leader in both points and rebounds per game. After Barkley’s ssnubbing prompted more public outcry—and after groups such as basketball author Roland Beech’s then-nascent Hoopsworld outlet began actively campaigning on his behalf—the NBA changed its MVP voting procedures starting with that season so that members of the media covering each team on a day-to-day basis would serve as those teams’ official MVP voters; this change has remained in place ever since.

What is the criteria for the NBA MVP?

The Most Valuable Player (MVP) is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1955–56 season to the best performing player of the regular season. The winner receives the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is named in honor of the first commissioner (then president) of the NBA, who served from 1946 until 1963. Until 2011, the MVP was selected by a vote of NBA players. Since 2012, it has been selected by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Each member of the voting panel casts a vote for first to fifth place selections. Each first-place vote is worth 10 points; each second-place vote is worth seven; each third-place vote is worth five; each fourth-place vote is worth three; and each fifth-place vote is worth one. Starting from 2010, one ballot position will be given to a player per team per round in order to prevent tactical voting strategies by fans that attempt to subvert fan consensus or sabotage attempts at reaching statistical accuracy in ballots such as those conducted by USA Today or ESPN. The player with the highest point total wins the award. Karl Malone and LeBron James have won the most MVPs with two apiece.

Offensive criteria:
* A player must average a certain number of points or assists per game while playing for his team during the season.
* A certain minimum number of games played for his team during the season (usually about two-thirds).
* Effort on defense: Contribution on offense does not necessarily mean that a player is valuable if he does not also make an effort on defense. For example, Allen Iverson was considered one of the most exciting players to watch because of his flashy style of play and his high scoring average, but he was never considered as valuable as other players who did not score as many points but who also made significant contributions on defense, such as Gary Payton or Alonzo Mourning.”

How is the NBA MVP voted on?

A panel of sports writers and broadcasters from across the United States and Canada votes on the NBA MVP. Each voter selects first-, second- and third-place MVP choices, with five points awarded for a first-place vote, three points for a second-place vote and one point for a third-place vote. The player with the highest point total wins the award.

Who are the past NBA MVPs?

In the National Basketball Association (NBA), a Most Valuable Player (MVP) is an annual award given to the player(s) deemed the best in the league. The winner receives the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is named in honor of the first commissioner (then president) of the NBA, who served from 1946 until his retirement in 1963. Until 2011, the MVP was selected by a vote of NBA players. Since 2012, a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada has awarded the trophy. These Panelists account for 50% of the vote, with each voter limited to selecting one player per ballot. NBA players began voting for themselves to decide the award starting in 1979.
