LNB Pro A Awards

The LNB Pro A Awards are the individual awards of the top-tier men's professional club basketball league in France, the LNB Pro A. Maxi-Basket holds the vote, and calls it the referendum. The distinction of the best coach of the season is awarded by the Coaches' Basketball Union.

Awards (before 1983)

Before 1983, the title of the best player in the league was sometimes assigned by a panel of journalists, but the charts are incomplete.

Awards (since 1983)

Between 1983 and 2005, the monthly Maxi-Basket conducted a vote of the players and coaches of the league. Since 2005, the coaches and captains of the LNB Pro A clubs, and a panel of fifty journalists are asked to vote.[1]
