The award is named after Alphonso Ford, who died of leukemia in September 2004 following a brilliant career in which he led the competition in scoring twice – in 2000-01 and 2001-02, both with Olympiacos – before leading Montepaschi Siena in scoring as it reached the 2003 Final Four. Ford holds the EuroLeague all-time best scoring average with 22.2 points per game across 54 career games.
