Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) presents ten annual awards to recognize its teams, players, and coaches for their accomplishments. An additional seven awards officially recognized by the PBA were also given annually by the PBA Press Corps during a season break.
Aside from these annual awards, the league also has weekly honors during the conference for its players.
Each individual award, with the exception of the Best Player of the Conference, Best Import and Finals MVP (which are given near the conclusion of the conference), is awarded during the PBA Leo Awards, which is held before the start of the fourth game (or third game if it is a best-of-five) of the third conference's finals series.
