A new season started in the LBBL a few weeks ago. After 5 game days, it is time for a first edition of the JICL MVP race in both leagues. We started with the women’s MVP race, now it is time to take a look at the men’s race.
Important note / Awards night 2023
The JICL MVP race does not include a ranking (1-5) but a listing of 5 players this season. The FLBB will introduce a new concept with an « awards night » for the first time this season.
The following prices will be awarded:
– JICL MVP women
– JICL MVP men
– Coach of the year (women’s LBBL)
– Coach of the year (men’s LBBL)
– U21 player of the season (women)
– U21 player of the season (men)
Before the awards night, the press, the FLBB members and the fans will be be able to vote for the announced awards and the winners will be presented at the awards night and receive prizes. The date for the awards night has been fixed for March 22nd 2023 – save the date!
