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 [[Italy|Italian]] weekly magazine ''[[Superbasket]]''. Its purpose was to praise the best basketball player with [[Europe]]an 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]]. Its legitimacy, however, stemmed from the fact that it was the oldest of all four awards, as it was created three years before the Euroscar, twenty-six years before the All-Europe Player of the Year, and twenty-nine years before the official FIBA award. [[Croats|Croatian]] [[small forward]] [[Toni Kukoč]], holds the record for most wins with four, three of them being consecutive, a record as well.
