NBA Executive of the Year

The National Basketball Association's Executive of the Year Award is an annual award given since the 1972-73 NBA season, to the league's best general managers. Unlike other National Basketball Association (NBA) awards, the Executive of the Year is presented annually by Sporting News, though it is officially recognized by the NBA. Voting is conducted by executives from the league's 30 teams.
