When Is the NBA MVP Named?

It’s always a heated debate when it comes to who should take home the title of NBA MVP. Here’s a look at when the award is typically announced.

MVP is an annual award

The MVP is an annual award given to the most valuable player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The winner is selected by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, each of whom casts a vote for first to fifth place selections. The player who receives the most votes is awarded the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is named in honor of the first commissioner (then president) of the NBA. Until the 1979–80 season, the MVP was selected by a vote among NBA players.

Since its inception, the award has been given to 41 different players. The first recipient was Bob Pettit; he was also the only player to win the award for two consecutive seasons (1956 and 1957). Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell and LeBron James have each won it five times, while Wilt Chamberlain and Moses Malone have each won it four times. Russell Westbrook, Steve Nash and Steph Curry have each been named MVP three times. Sixteen players have won it back-to-back: Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, O’Neal, Nash, Duncan, Nowitzki, Harden (twice), LeBron (three times), Rose Curry (twice) and Russell Westbrook (three times).

Of these winners of back-to-back awards, only LeBron James has gone on to win MVP again after his second consecutive honor; he did so in 2016 after previously winning in 2012 and 2013. Most players who have won back-to-back MVPs have had at least one other MVP-caliber season somewhere else in their careers.

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, the award has been decided by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters as selected by the league. 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, fourth-place is worth three and fifth-place is worth one. Starting from 2010, one ballot was cast by fans through online voting. The player with the highest point total wins the award. As of May 2016, out of 3,090 voters listed on various media outlet’s websites who voted electronically or offline for this award since it was established in 1955–56season, LeBron James has been elected MVP on four occasions, trailing only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6), Michael Jordan (5), Bill Russell (5), Wilt Chamberlain (4), and Moses Malone (3). Russell Westbrook and Steph Curry have both been elected MVP twice, Kyrie Irving and Derrick Rose have been named MVP once each.

Only two players have won the award four times in five seasons: LeBron James (2009–10 to 2013–14) and Michael Jordan (1988–89 to 1992–93). Bill Russell is tied with Jordan for second all time with five wins in ten seasons between 1961 and 1973 while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won six times in eight seasons between 1971–72

## Heading:Stages
##Expansion:
Photosynthesis consists of two stages: light reaction and dark reaction.
The light reaction stage happens when light hits chlorophyll molecules in thylakoid membranes inside organelles called chloroplasts. This light energy liberates electrons from water molecules which combine with CO2 to form carbohydrates like glucose. In plants that lack chloroplasts like fungi, algae rely on other organelles to perform photosynthesis where light energy liberates electrons from hydrogen sulfide molecules rather than water molecules. These electrons are used to reduce CO2 into simple sugars like glucose which are used for cellular respiration to create ATP or combined with other simple sugars through polymerization to form macromolecules like cellulose or stored as fat reserves like triglycerides..
Dark reaction or carbon fixation stage doesn’t require sunlight or chlorophyll but needs products from light reaction stage like ATP and NADPH produced during electron transport chain using solar energy to create G3P molcules from CO2

It is the oldest award of its kind in North America, and has been given out every year since its inception with the exception of 1967 and 1968, when it was not awarded due to the league’s suspension of operations during those years because of the ongoing controversy surrounding racial relations in the country. The only other MVP award that predates it is the Associated Press’ NBA Most Valuable Player Award, which was first handed out in the 1946–47 NBA season.
