A rebrand of NBA awards to honor legends including Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, George Mikan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Jerry West was unveiled on Tuesday.
Following a path set in naming the All-Star Game MVP trophy after Kobe Bryant, the NBA revealed the league MVP trophy would be re-established as the Michael Jordan Trophy this season.
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."
