Metro Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year

The Metro Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year was an award given to the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletic (Metro) Conference's most outstanding player.

There were three ties in the award's history, in 1978, 1981 and 1988.

One player, Darrell Griffith of Louisville, was also named the national player of the year (1980) by being presented the John R. Wooden Award.

Louisville represents the most all-time winners with eight.

Weatherspoon was the only three-time winner of the award, while two others earned it twice (Keith Lee and Clifford Rozier).

Darrell Griffith was the only Metro Conference Player of the Year (POY) to also win a National POY award—the Wooden Award in 1979–80.
George McCloud won the award in 1989 as a player for Florida State University.
