For electing the MVP, there are about 120 media writers who write mainly about the NBA or only about the NBA and are very good/famous writers. They determine most of the other awards, too.MVP--Steve Nash. People say the MVP should go to Dirk Nowitzki, as he is the "Best player on the best team," but I think otherwise. The Suns beat the Mavs twice in a row--The double Overtime and a blowout--therefore Steve Nash is the best player on the best team.
Rookie Of the Year--Hard, but I think it IS going to Brandon Roy with all the publicity he is getting right now, and there haven't been very many good rookies this year--to the exception of him--so he should be the ROY.
6th Man--Leandro Barbosa. He is one of the most clutch players in the NBA. He has saved the Suns from losing countless times with his 3's and it's not like it's easy to replace Steve Nash.
Most Improved Player--Chris Bosh. Who was Chris Bosh last year? Well, nobody knew until this season. He lead the Raptors to their FIRST EVER division title, and they are 3rd in the East! This team was supposed to be the team that went last place--as usual--in the standings and would get the first round pick! They are about .600 right now, all because of Chris Bosh's leadership. His stats have skyrocketed, as has his team, and he is one of the most all-around players in the league right now.
Defensive Player of the Year--Marcus Camby. He leads the NBA in blocks, leads all centers in steals, is 4th in rebounds, and is just plain dominant. Over the past 3 games, he has got an average of 20 rebounds, 6 blocks, 1.8 steals, and 16 points. Tim Duncan is 5th in blocks, 8th in rebounds, and is unranked in steals, not to mention he is on a good defensive team. Marcus is by himself on a pure offense team taking care of all the defense.
Coach of the Year--Avery Johnson. You have to give him credit--he has had the leagues best win pct, has taken care of his players flawlessly, he is always aware and taking charge in games, he knows how to plan, and he is also a good mentor to Dirk and Jason Terry. If he doesn't get it, give it to Sam Mitchell--the Raptors coach. He took pieces and scraps and made one of the best teams in the east out of them.

I think a panel of coaches and media comprise the selection committee for the selection of the awards.
MVP- they look at the best player on the best team who has helped that team get them into the playoffs the most.
Rookie of the year- Rookie player with the best stats.
6th man- best player off the bench who has the best stats.
most improved player- they take the player who had bad stats in the previous year and now has exceptional stats.
defensive player- player with most defensive rebounds, steals, and blocks.
The players and coaches decide who gets the awards.
MVP- Dirk Nowitzki
ROY- Brandon Roy
6th man- Leanardo Barbosa
Most improved- I want Kevin Martin to get it but Deron Williams will get it.
Defensive player- Kevin Garnett
Coach- Jerry Sloan
