The National Basketball Association's (NBA) Rookie of the Year Award is an annual NBA honor given to the top rookie(s) of the regular season. Initiated following the 1952–53 NBA season, it confers the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy, named after the former Philadelphia Warriors head coach. The winner is selected by a panel of US and Canadian sportswriters, each casting first, second, and third-place votes. The most recent Rookie of the Year winner is Michael Carter-Williams. Fourteen winners have also won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award in their careers; Wilt Chamberlain (pictured) and Wes Unseld earned both honors in a single season. Three seasons had joint winners, and four players—Ralph Sampson, David Robinson, Blake Griffin, and Damian Lillard—won the award unanimously by capturing all of the first-place votes. (Full list...)
