The ACB handed out the award first after the [1991–92 ACB season](/source/1991%E2%80%9392_ACB_season). Since then, seven players have won the award more than once: [Darryl Middleton](/source/Darryl_Middleton) (3-time winner), [Arvydas Sabonis](/source/Arvydas_Sabonis), [Tanoka Beard](/source/Tanoka_Beard), [Luis Scola](/source/Luis_Scola), [Felipe Reyes](/source/Felipe_Reyes), [Nikola Mirotić](/source/Nikola_Miroti%C4%87), and [Giorgi Shermadini](/source/Giorgi_Shermadini) (2-time winners). Additionally, only six Spanish players have won the award: [Juan Carlos Navarro](/source/Juan_Carlos_Navarro_(basketball)), [Marc Gasol](/source/Marc_Gasol), [Felipe Reyes](/source/Felipe_Reyes), [Fernando San Emeterio](/source/Fernando_San_Emeterio), [Sergio Llull](/source/Sergio_Llull) and [naturalized](/source/naturalized) Spanish player [Nikola Mirotić](/source/Nikola_Miroti%C4%87). The winner of the award is determined by voting by coaches, players, fans (through online voting), and the media. ==All-time award winners== [[File:DarrylMiddleton.jpg|thumb|upright|[Darryl
