Mr. Basketball is awarded annually to the state's top high school senior. Voting is currently conducted on a 5-3-1 points system by the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, in which voters list their top three choices. The original selection process, in use through the mid-1990s, allowed for each voter to choose one player.

In 40 seasons of the award, there have been 42 Mr. Basketball recipients (0 Division AA; 25 Division/Class A; 17 Division/Class B) and 220 Mr. Basketball finalists (3 Division AA; 115 Division/Class A; 102 Division/Class B).
