NBL Most Valuable Player Award
Annual National Basketball League award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Basketball League Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award is an annual National Basketball League (NBL) award given since the league's inaugural season to the best performing player of the regular season. Since the 2005–06 season, winners receive the Andrew Gaze Trophy, named after the seven-time MVP.[1][2][3]
As of the 2025–26 season, the MVP voting system sees the head coach and captain of each club, as well as a panel of experts, vote on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis. The votes are weighted equally between the combined head coaches, combined captains and the panel of experts. Coaches and captains cannot vote for players from their own clubs.[4]
