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:
(PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK − Missed FG − Missed FT − TO) / GP
