Basquetebol.org has been publishing basketball news for nine seasons and has the largest network of writers in France.
In 2007 they decided to give LFB players awards at the end of the regular season. However to distinguish their own awards with the ones of the FFBB, only the 14 coaches from the clubs in the LFB and 3 writers from their organisation take part in the vote.
The categories for the player of the year awards are as follows: French player, foreign player, young player, point guard, shooting guard/small forward, power forward/center.
The votes the players received are used to determine which players are selected for the LFB's first and second team.
This year the clubs of Arras and Tarbes shared all the awards with three players each.
Isabelle Yacoubou-Dehoui (left) who had been selected as the player of the year last season, picked up the award again. She collected 16-of-17 votes with 13 first places.
Yacoubou-Dehoui also picked up the award for center of the year.
Leila Mitchell from Arras picked up the foreign player award. Last season Tanisha Wright who was playing for Tarbes won the award. Mitchell also picked up the point guard award.
Frida Eldebrink's three-point shooting was the headline for a lot of basketball news stories in 2009-2010. This season she has played more as a shooting guard and is the winner of this category.
Marielle Amant from Arras is the winner of the young player award.
