Sixth Man is a substitute or a reserve player who is not the part of the actual starting lineup; he comes off the bench in place of a starter. Oftenly, he is the most used stand-in player on a team. To honor the contributions of the substitutes, NBA issues Sixth Man of the Year award. This is an annual award given to the best bench player of the season. A group of sportswriters and broadcasters from United States and Canada decides the award winner through their voting. In order to be eligible for this award, a player must come off the bench in more games than he started. Following is the list of all NBA Sixth Man of the Year award winners from 1983-2012.
