Three Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards were presented annually in the All-Star Game, the regular season, and the playoffs.

Julius Erving has won the most ABA awards with five MVP awards—three in the regular season and two in the playoffs.

Hannum, Sharman and Brown are the only recipients to have been inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Julius Erving, who led the New York Nets to two ABA championships in 1974 and 1976, is the only player to win the award twice.

Brown and 1971 winner Mel Daniels are the only players to win the award while being on the losing team in the All-Star Game.

The All-ABA Team was an annual honor bestowed on the best players in the league following every ABA season.

A total of nine players were selected during their respective rookie years: Daniels, Spencer Haywood, Scott, Issel, Erving, Gilmore, Swen Nater, Marvin Barnes, and David Thompson.
