Iowa Mr. Basketball

Each year the Iowa Mr. Basketball award is given to the person chosen as the best high school boys basketball player in the U.S. state of Iowa, in the United States.

The award has been given since 1981. Winners are chosen by the Iowa Newspaper Association at the time of their annual All-State selections. Most of the award winners have gone on to play at the highest levels of college basketball, and some have gone on to play in the National Basketball Association.

Voting is done on 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 receives the most points receives the award.
