NEW: NBA renames MVP trophy after Bulls legend Michael Jordan
Chicago BullsEarly Tuesday morning, the league announced that it is renaming its trophy for the annual award"The Michael Jordan Trophy," an homage to one who many consider the greatest basketball player of all time.
Jordan also achieved six NBA titles, six Finals MVPs, 11 All-NBA selections, 14 All-Star selections, three All-Star MVPs, 10 scoring titles, one Defensive Player of the Year award, and Rookie of the Year honors across 15 decorated seasons. The trophy depicts the latter by displaying a bronze figure breaking free from a rock and holding a crystal basketball high in the air. Scan the trophy from bottom to top, and notice it becomes more polished as it goes, signifying the hard work that led to the victorious player's rise from rookie to MVP.For one, the trophy stands exactly 23.6 inches tall, references to Jordan's jersey number and six NBA championships.
“As we worked together on this project, it was very important to Michael that the figure not be a likeness of him, but instead that the recipient should be able to see himself in the award. For Michael, naming the award in his honor was recognition enough.”
