In a nod to legends, the NBA renames the trophy given to its regular season MVP after Michael Jordan, as well as other awards after the league pioneers. NBA
A rebrand of NBA awards to honor legends Wilt Chamberlain, John Havlicek, Michael Jordan, George Mikan, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Jerry West was unveiled on Tuesday, December 13.
In a statement Tuesday, the NBA said its lineup of reimagined trophies “honors the league pioneers who helped define the standards of excellence that these trophies represent.” A new award, the NBA Clutch Player of the Year, will receive The Jerry West Trophy to be voted on by a media panel based on nominations from NBA head coaches. Nominations are to be based on which player “best comes through for his teammates in the clutch” the NBA said in a release.
The bronze Michael Jordan Trophy features a player breaking out of a rock to reach for a crystal basketball that consists of 23 points, a nod to Jordan’s jersey number. It stands 23.6 inches tall and weighs 23.6 pounds.
