The National Basketball Association's Sixth Man of the Year Award is the sixth best player in the Regular Season Award . The winner in this nomination is chosen by 124 journalists from various television channels and print media of the USA and Canada by voting for the three best spare ones from the list. For the first place, 5 points are awarded, for the second - 3, and for the third - 1. The player who scored the most points by the vote is recognized as the best sixth player in the NBA. Nominees for this award should play more games, going to the floor from the bench than in the starting lineup. [one]
