The new name is part of a campaign to "refresh" trophies. The trophy is one of six trophies that will be renamed.
The MVP trophy was previously named after Maurice Podoloff, the NBA's first president. It is awarded to the player who has the best regular season record, the league's top rookie, and the top defensive player. However, this year the NBA will award the MVP trophy to a team based on its regular season record. This is in addition to the other awards that will be given out during the playoffs.
This new Michael Jordan trophy was designed with input from the Chicago Bulls star. The trophy features a five-sided base with a 15 degree angle. It also includes the number of championships won by the Jordan-led Bulls. This is in addition to the number of All-NBA selections and NBA All-Star selections Jordan has received.
The trophy is 23.6 inches tall and weighs a little over two pounds. It was designed by former Nike vice president of special projects Mark Smith, who worked with the Bulls superstar and Jordan Brand designer to create the new look.
The new Michael Jordan trophy is part of a series of trophies that will be renamed after past stars. Other trophies that will be renamed include the Clutch Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, and Most Improved Player. In addition, the Hakeem Olajuwon trophy has been renamed the Defensive Player of the Year.
Michael Jordan was considered the greatest player in the game for a number of years. He tied for second in all-time MVP awards with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell, and he won 10 scoring titles and 14 All-Star selections. He is also a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
The MVP trophy has been known as the Maurice Podoloff Trophy for six decades. It was named after the NBA's first president, but it is now being awarded to the team with the best regular season record. The NBA has also renamed the Finals MVP trophy after Bill Russell.
The MVP trophy is a symbol of the best in the NBA. Each winner of the MVP award has gone on to be enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. This award is the most prestigious individual award in the game and has been given out since 1955. The trophies become more refined as they move closer to the top.
The Sixth Man of the Year award will be awarded to John Havlicek. The Clutch Player of the Year will be given to Jerry West, and the Most Improved Player award will go to George Mikan.
These six trophies have been renamed to honor the achievements of some of the greatest players in the NBA. The Kia Performance Award Winners will honor the accomplishments of past stars.
