Traditionally at the end of each year Eurobasket announces the European awards for last year. The ranking was based on network of almost 300 Eurobasket journalists, who are experts in basketball coverage from their countries. 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 applies to the players, who played in European leagues in last and this 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). All-Europe awards were dominated by the top players from Euroleague and the Player of the Year Award went similarly like last year to Greek player. But this time it was Dimitris Diamantidis (196-G-80) of Panathinaikos Athens (GRE).
Last year Diamantidis was already voted to top 10 Europe players making 2nd team. But he had extremely successful last season when he won both Euroleague and Greek League championship and received multiple Eurobasket.com top awards like for example Player of the Year in Greece and Defensive Player of the Year in both Euroleague and Greek League.
All-Europeans awards were traditionally dominated by Europeans playing in the NBA, with just only Diamantidis making it to 1st team.
Here the top spot was again taken by German Dirk Nowitzki (211-F-78) from Dallas Mavericks, then French Tony Parker (183-G-80) of San Antonio Spurs, and Russian Andrei Kirilenko (205-F-81) of Utah Jazz. Nowitzki is at the top of his career. He was the best scorer of last edition of European Championships and was also voted All-NBA MVP. Parker won almost everything in the NBA, when his team won Final Series where Parker was voted the MVP. Kirilenko had a very successful season in NBA leading his team to the play-offs. All 3 players were dominant players of European Championships in Spain and were voted to all-Eurobasket.com 1st Team for that event.
The Eurobasket.com All-European Coach of the Year Award for the first time is split between two coaches. Zeljko Obradovic and David Blatt . Obradovic lead Panathinaikos to Euroleague championship, while Blatt lead Russia to European Championships title. Obradovic will try to repeat that success with PAO and Blatt moved to coach this season Turkish Efes Pilsen.
