Each year the California Mr. Basketball award is given to the person chosen as the best high school boys basketball player in the U.S. state of California.[1] It has been awarded since 1905.[1][2] Many have gone on to play in the NBA.
Voting is done in a points system. Each voter selects first, second, and third place votes. A player receives five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote, and one point for a third-place vote. The player who garners the most points receives the award.
