NBA & ABA Rookie of the Year (Wilt Chamberlain Trophy) Award Winners

Since 2022-23 the NBA ROY is awarded the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy. The first Rookie of the Year officially recognized by the NBA is Monk Meineke in 1952-53. However, newspaper writers recognized winners from 1947-48 to 1951-52, as well. These awards were at one point recognized by the NBA and they admitted they had lost the records of these awards when they moved offices in the early days of the league. They no longer include them in their official records but we have decided to display them here.
