Star import Mike Chappell scooped the pool at the inaugural Season Awards evening for the NZ Breakers on Wednesday night.
Chappell was named as the club's MVP for the 2003/2004 Australian National Basketball League season.
The popular swingman was also selected by his Breakers'
team-mates as the winner of the Players' Choice title at the awards
function at the Spencer on Byron in Takapuna.
Chappell led the Breakers in scoring in their debut ANBL season
with 22.7 points per game. That placed him second behind Sydney
Kings star Matt Nielsen in the NBL scoring charts for the regular
season. Chappell also led the Breakers in three-point shooting at
an outstanding success rate of 42.4 percent.
He ranked fifth in rebounding for the Breakers with 5.2 boards per game and made 76 percent from the charity stripe. A 46 percent field goal shooter, he was a deadly threat from long range or driving to the hoop throughout his 21 games for the club and should cap his season with selection in the Eastern All Stars squad for the ANBL All Star game in Melbourne on April 8.
Chappell said he was honoured to have received the respect of his team-mates in winning the Players' Choice award and was already looking forward to next season with the Breakers.
