ACB Most Valuable Player

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ACB Most Valuable Player is an annual award of the Liga ACB, the top-tier professional basketball league in Spain. The ACB handed out the award first after the 1991–92 ACB season. Since then, seven players have won the award more than once: Darryl Middleton (3-time winner), Arvydas Sabonis, Tanoka Beard, Luis Scola, Felipe Reyes, Nikola Mirotić, and Giorgi Shermadini (2-time winners). Additionally, only six Spanish players have won the award: Juan Carlos Navarro, Marc Gasol, Felipe Reyes, Fernando San Emeterio, Sergio Llull and naturalized Spanish player Nikola Mirotić. The winner of the award is determined by voting by coaches, players, fans (through online voting), and the media.
