The NBA has formally revealed the full ballots submitted by the 100 media members who voted for each of this season’s awards, per a press release from the league.
Over the past several weeks, the NBA gradually unveiled its major award winners for the 2024/25 season, starting with Sixth Man of the Year on April 22 and wrapping up with All-NBA on Friday. While the league confirmed at the time of those announcements how many votes each player received, we now know exactly which NBA reporter or analyst submitted each vote.
So if you’ve been wondering who had Derrick White as their runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year, who snuck Jared McCain onto their Rookie of the Year ballot after he played just 23 games, who awarded Reed Sheppard and his 4.4 points per game a spot on their All-Rookie Second Team, or which 29 voters made Nikola Jokic their MVP choice, now you can find out.

Damn I missed Draymond getting traded to ATL…
Wells should be ROY and Powell most improved
Does it also say who paid them to vote that way?
I am fine with All NBA teams, they are basically forced to have Curry and Bron on 1 of them.
Curry is the only guy on a play in team to make it but they had a winning record. Already saw some complaints about Trae being snubbed. He was on a below 500 team, yeah those don’t get All NBA. Sengun I guess could have made it but, not taking Jalen Williams, Cade, Hali off maybe over Harden is a stretch. Harden held LAC down and made playoffs Kawhi missed some time.
Records shouldnt matter but Curry is the best player in the league, so..
I will like to see the full video and behind sceens what really happens with the draft order. The Mavericks with 1.8%won the first pick and spurs get the 2 pick and have 1 and 2 in the last 3 years. That could be so intesrest.
