Traditionally each year Eurobasket announces the European awards for last year.

It's already 19th such ranking prepared by Eurobasket.com staff for basketball in Europe. Eurobasket has a network of correspondents, most of them are located in Europe and participated in preparing the ranking.

We have the policy of not involving the fans as it may influence the final ranking and instead of that we rely on the opinions of experts.

The votes were made in two categories: All-Europe and All-Europeans.

All-Europe ranking applies to the players, who played in European leagues in last (21-22) and this (22-23) season, so it may apply also to non-European players, who played as imports in Europe.

All-Europeans category applies only to Europeans, but also these, who played overseas (mostly in NBA).
