Sarunas Jasikevicius - Best Player in Europe in 2005 Dirk Nowitzki - Best European in the NBA in 2005 Panagiotis Yiannakis - Best European Coach in 2005

Traditionally at the end of the year Eurobasket announces Year End Awards, this time for 2005.
Eurobasket has a network of over 230 correspondents, where major part of them took part in the voting for this year awards.
There are two major categories: All-Europe and All-Europeans, while All-Europe applies to all players (also imports) who played in Europe, while all-Europeans applies to only European players, who players around the World.
We also have Coach of the Year Award. There were easy guesses for All-Europeans and Coach of the Year awards as Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas Mavericks (NBA) and Panagiotis Yiannakis of Maroussi (GRE) were definite leaders in their categories.
However All-Europe awards were not such obvious. Sarunas Jasikevicius of Indiana Pacers (NBA) took All-Europe Player of the Year award being followed very closely by Anthony Parker of Maccabi Elite Tel-Aviv (ISR) and Luis Scola of Tau Ceramica Vitoria (ESP) .
