EuroLeague Awards

EuroLeague Awards were established in the 1987–88 season, when the EuroLeague's modern era and the EuroLeague Final Four first began. More awards were created starting with the 2000–01 basketball season, when Euroleague Basketball Company essentially took over the management of the premier level European competition from FIBA Europe.

EuroLeague Full Season MVP
The EuroLeague Full Season MVP award began in the 2004–05 season. It replaced both the EuroLeague Regular Season MVP and EuroLeague Top 16 MVP awards. The EuroLeague Full Season MVP award combined the regular season and Top 16 awards together into a new award that is for the entire EuroLeague season, the regular season, Top 16, and playoffs, up until the EuroLeague Final Four. The award is based on a voting process, rather than on the PIR stat, like the EuroLeague Regular Season MVP and EuroLeague Top 16 MVP awards were. The award is analogous to the NBA Most Valuable Player Award.

EuroLeague Final Four MVP
The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four MVP award is the MVP award for the final two games of the EuroLeague season. The award began in the 1987–88 season, when the EuroLeague Final Four modern era began. It is the originating MVP award, intended as the "most valuable player" on the best team award and is generally considered the most prestigious and important individual award given in European club basketball. The award is based on a voting process involving members of the press.

Vassilis Spanoulis of Panathinaikos and Olympiacos has also won the award three times, two of them consecutively.
