Sendai 89ers forward Wendell White joined fellow league legend Lynn Washington, the retired Osaka Evessa icon, as the bj-league's only two-time regular-season MVPs, as the league's 11th and final regular-season awards were announced on Wednesday.
White earned his first MVP honor for the 2009-10 season, when he helped the Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix capture their first title.
On his Facebook page, White weighed on on what the MVP honor means to him during an unforgettable day in his life. He wrote: "Won the season MVP today on the same day my Daughter was born and my 9 year Marriage Anniversary. I guess you can say I'm one of the most blessed people in the world right now."
