The regular-season MVP

The voting for the regular-season MVP has kicked off on VTB-League.com. Fans can now vote for this season’s MVP through their Facebook and Vkontakte accounts, with each “like” counting as a vote (fans can cast up to two votes for each player, one each on the Russian and English-language poll pages).

The poll results will be factored in during the selection of the 2013/2014 VTB United League regular-season MVP. As is tradition, the VTB United League will team up with Sport-Express to determine the League’s top player.

With the regular season now complete, fans can choose between 12 candidates—the players that demonstrated the most individual excellence and helped their teams enjoy success.
