Player of the Year 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.
- Jean Degros (Denain) was voted the best player of the year in the 1962–63 season.
- Alain Gilles (ASVEL) was voted the best player of the year in the 1964–65, 1966–67, and 1967–68 seasons.
- Michel Le Ray (ABC Nantes) was voted the best player of the year in the 1965–66 season.
- Pierre Galle (AS Berck) was voted the best player of the year in the 1972–73 and 1973–74 seasons.
Awards (since 1983)
Between 1983 and 2005, the monthly Maxi-Basket conducted a vote of the players and head 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] Since the 2014–15 LNB Pro A season, the MVP award is a single unified award. Prior to that, it was divided into two separate awards, one for French players, and one for non-French players.

L'Équipe awards (1994–2005)
Between 1994 and 2005, the French newspaper, L'Équipe, also conducted a selection of the best French and foreign players of the league, through a vote of journalists. These awards are also considered official by the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB).
