Read the full assessment
This market asks a binary question about a specific player winning the award, but the rules are written as if it were a multi-candidate market resolving to the winning player or 'Other'. An exceptional tie-breaking clause dictates that if co-winners are announced, resolution goes strictly to whichever player's last name appears first alphabetically, which could disadvantage LaMelo Ball if he shares the award with someone alphabetically earlier. The official NBA announcement is the primary source, though backup consensus reporting is permitted. There is also a firm expiration deadline of June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, which would force an 'Other' resolution if the award announcement is delayed past that date.
