The Most Valuable Player of the Regular Season is selected by a panel of pro basketball writters and broadcasters since 1981. The MVP winner receives the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, which is named that way after the first commissioner of the NBA.
From 1956 to 1980 the winner was selected by the NBA players.
In 2005-06 Steve Nash joined Magic Johnson as the only point guards to have won the award at least twice. In 2007-08 Kobe Bryant gave the Lakers their first 8th MVP award and in 2008-09 Lebron James got the Cavs their first.. |
