2025 NBA awards media poll: Full voting results for MVP, All-NBA ...
Which players will receive awards like MVP and ROTY, as well as awarded All-NBA or All-Defense honors? Here is who the media is voting for.
clutchpoints.comHere’s the latest on NBA awards voting as of now.
- The NBA has expanded fan participation to all end-of-season player awards. Fans can vote for MVP, plus Most Improved Player, Sixth Man of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Rookie of the Year. The fan vote counts as one vote per award, alongside media and other inputs [source: The Score article on the Kia Fan Vote expansion]. This change was announced in early April with voting running through mid-April for the 2025-26 season.[1]
- For context, the official voting process typically combines input from media members, players, and sometimes coaches, with the fan vote contributing a single vote per award. Recent examples of voting results and ballots have been published publicly by outlets that cover NBA awards, often detailing MVP results and All-NBA/All-Defense ballots [example coverage: 2024-25 media voting reports].[2]
- Ongoing coverage on award races includes live updates and analysis from multiple outlets, with frequent articles tracking front-runners for MVP, ROTY, DPOY, MIP, and Sixth Man as the season progresses and after the regular season ends [general coverage: NBA Awards pages and aggregators].[3][4]
