BBL Most Effective Player
German basketball award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Basketball Bundesliga Most Effective Player Awards are annual awards that are given to the best player in a given Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) season, based on statistics. The awards were handed out for the first time in the 2015–16 season.[1] Two awards are given, one for the most effective German player in the league, and one for the most effective international (non-German) player in the league.
The winner of the award is determined by the Efficiency formula:
Key
| ^ | Denotes player who is still active in the Basketliga |
| * | Inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame |
| † | Denotes player whose team won championship that year |
| Player (X) | Denotes the number of times the player has received the award |
