Who has won the award in recent years?
While most awards are given out at the end of the regular season, the NBA MVP is announced during the playoffs. The award is given to the player who is deemed to be the most valuable to his team during the regular season.
In recent years, the award has been given to players such as Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, and LeBron James. This year, it is expected that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be named MVP for the second year in a row.
How has the award changed over time?
Since 1955, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has given out the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is named in honor of the first commissioner of the league. The trophy is given to the player who receives the most points in a vote by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada.
The award was originally given to the player who was deemed the best in the league during that particular season. However, this changed starting in the 1979-80 season when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird began their legendary rivalry. Instead of awarding the trophy to just one player, the media began splitting their votes between the two players, which resulted in them sharing the award that year.
Starting in 1982-83,Karl Malone and Julius Erving were also multiple-time winners of MVP award. Malone won it three times while Erving took home the award twice. Since then, only Michael Jordan (5), Kobe Bryant (4), LeBron James (4), and Bill Russell (5) have won the MVP award more than twice.
In recent years, Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook have also been multiple-time winners of MVP award. Westbrook became only second player in NBA history to average a triple-double for an entire season when he did so in 2016-17. He was subsequently named MVP that year.
