Fifth-year Chicago Forward Art "the Architect" Vandelay earned his first MVP award, getting named the MVP of the Season 38 playoffs.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Chicago Gale's recent championship, a playoff campaign during which the 6-7 Vandelay was both the second-highest scorer (17.6 ppg) and second-highest rebounder (5.9 per game).
Vandelay outdistanced T.Kanes Masterson of runner-up Philadelphia in the voting 25.7 to 23.2. Chicago point guard Ginger Vampire was third with 21.7.
"The Architect" now has nine awards on his MBA card, one short of Hall of Fame status.
He is the 12th forward to win Playoff MVP honors and the first since Boone Doggle of Philadelphia won the honor in back-to-back seasons in 30 and 31.
Vandalay joins three previous Chicago winners of the Playoff MVP award...they are:
* Forward Cole Dreadlock, Season 2
* Guard Doc Watson, Season 16
* Guard Didger A'Doo, Season 35
