Toshiba Brave Thunders center Nick Fazekas was voted the NBL's Most Valuable Player for the 2013-14 regular season, the league announced on Thursday.
The 210-cm Fazekas led the 12-team league with 26.4 points and 13.5 rebounds per game for the Brave Thunders, who had an NBL-best 46-8 record. His season-high point total was 47, achieved in a Jan. 25 game against the Wakayama Trians.
"It feels good," Fazekas, who is in his second year with Toshiba, told the Japan Times. "It's nice that I got the recognition, but also that Toshiba and the team got the recognition. There's no winning the MVP without your teammates and the staff, so the credit goes to them.
