Introduction
The National Basketball Association (NBA) Most Valuable Player Award is an annual award given to the player who is adjudged to be the best in the league. The award was established in 1955 by the Professional Basketball Writers Association (PBWA), and it is given by the media members who cover the league. Voting takes place at the end of the regular season, and every voter selects first, second, and third place choices. Each first-place vote is worth 10 points; each second-place vote is worth seven; each third-place vote is worth five. A player who receives all first-place votes is said to have been “unanimous” MVP. Since its inception, only three players—Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James—have been named unanimous MVPs.
The winner of the Maurice Podoloff Trophy receives a some prize money, which makes him only the second player in NBA history to receive a salary for winning an award (the other being Oscar Robertson, who was given a bonus for winning MVP in 1964). He also wins two tickets to any regular season game or playoff game of his choice, Garth Brooks concert tickets, and a spa day.
