The National Basketball Association's Sixth Man of the Year Award is an annual award given since the 1982-83 NBA season, to the league's most valuable player for his team coming off the bench as a substitute (or sixth man). To be eligible for the award, a player must come in off of the bench in more games than he starts. The winner is voted on by a group of basketball journalists.
