Im not sure when they vote, I know they announce it sometime mid to late april. They annonce it in the mourning at a small ceremony then they have a banquent type thing later that night. I have gone to the one at night the last 3 years, and hope to go again this year. Its really fun, all the players are alked to for like 10 mins and there are a lot of jokes, and the host always picks out someones hair to make fun of (Childress, Dee, Morrison). Also at the end you can get autos from everyone. Hopefully wooden will be there this year, but him and the L.A. Athletic Club (Hosts award) got in a fight so he didnt go last year.
