 | | The NBA Coach of the Year Award is awarded to either the best coach in the league or the coach that has made the most positive difference to a team. |
 | | In 1950, the NBA consolidated to eleven franchises, a process that continued until 1954, when the league reached its smallest size of eight franchises, all of which are still in the league (the Knicks, Celtics, Warriors, Lakers, Royals/Kings, Pistons, Hawks, and Nationals/76ers). |
 | | The player with the best performance during the game is rewarded with a Game MVP award, which is usually given to a player on the winning team. |
