IBM award winners

The IBM award is described as honoring the player who contributes most to his team's overall success. It began in the 1983-84 season as the Schick Pivotal player award. In 1988 the title was shortened to the Schick award.

When the NBA changed sponsors in 1993 it became the IBM award. After the 2001-02 season when the sponsorship agreement between the league and IBM ended this award was no more.

The following mathematical formula was used to determine the winners:

Player pts + reb + ast + stl + bl - pf - to + (team wins X 10) X 250
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Team pts - fga + reb + ast + stl + bl - pf - to

A player's total points, plus rebounds, plus assists, plus steals, plus blocks, minus personal fouls, minus turnovers, plus 10 times the number of his team's wins, times 250. Then divided by the team's total points, plus field goal attempts, plus assists, plus steals, plus blocks, minus personal fouls, minus turnovers.
