Mr. Europa

The Mister Europa European Player of the Year Award was an annual basketball award created in 1976, and given until 2010, by the panel of journalists of the Italian weekly magazine Superbasket.

Its purpose was to praise the best basketball player with European citizenship for a given season, regardless of where he played in the world, including the NBA.

The award was judged on the basis of both sports club and national team performances and accomplishments.

Like the Italian newspaper's La Gazzetta dello Sport Euroscar Award, and Eurobasket.com's All-Europe Player of the Year, it was not the official FIBA Europe Men's Player of the Year Award, which is given out by FIBA.

When a player was with more than one club in the calendar year of his award, all are listed.

Arvydas Sabonis won the Mr. Europa award 2 times (1985, 1997).
Dražen Petrović won the Mr. Europa award 2 times (1986, 1993).
Toni Kukoč won the Mr. Europa award 4 times (1990, 1991, 1992, 1996).
Peja Stojaković won the Mr. Europa award 2 times (2001, 2002).
Pau Gasol won the Mr. Europa award 2 times (2004, 2009).
