Nagrada se, u principu, dodjeljuje igraču čiji tim osvoji finale iako ju je u prvoj godini postojanja dobio Jerry West, čiji su Los Angeles Lakersi izgubili finale. Michael Jordan ima najviše osvojenih nagrada (šest), a Magic Johnson najmlađi je igrač koji je dobio ovu nagradu (20 godina) i jedini novajlija. Najstariji osvajač ove nagrade jest Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38 godina i 54 dana).
