Voting took place at the end of the regular season and does not factor in postseason performances. The NBPA Players Voice Awards were introduced last year.

And no surprise to anyone with knowledge of league history, the players award means little compared to the league awards. There's been significantly less attention on the players award this year than last. By next year or the year after, it might even be completely forgotten. Still find it hilarious posters here were arguing that the players MVP was more significant and meaningful than the real MVP award.
