I respect it, I like how they acknowledging both the eastern and western champions with new mvp trophies I feel like players will play even harder to try and win that award just something to add to their trophy case
Really like it. The engraved base is beautiful. However I prefer the bottom portion of the previous trophy. Its classic, timeless and royal, while the updated one looks a bit messy and throws off the flow of the trophy
i agree. i also don't quite like the more literal approach to the net silhouette on the body. it made it kinda less classy but overall still quite nice.
I think the new one is better imo. But ppl get so used to the other design bc it's been around for a long time. Js wait for this one to settle in an you'll see it's actually not bad of a trophy at all
I like the engraving idea a lot. I do prefer when it was engraved lines and not colored lines for the ball and netting design. Looks cool though overall
I like the conference finals mvp awards. Especially that its Magic and Bird because they completely hands down saved the NBA. Im fine with the new Finals Trophy. But its lowkey copying the Stanley Cup.
Love adding the names of the champions, I don't really care about the lines throughout to make it look more like a net and ball, but adding the names makes it feel more like the Stanley Cup which is by far the best trophy in all of sports

The FMVP was introduced in 1969, so it kinda makes sense that it should be named after Bill Russell, because at his time during Boston Celtics dynasty, he should be a 10 time FMVP.
Not everyone gets a trophy, but it's likely the same player will get the conference and finals mvp as in the NBA it usually goes to the best player in the series. So a bit redundant. Unnecessary in my opinion
@@Avenue77 Jordan might’ve been used by now but something tells me he requested the league to not use his name for anything. Maybe to keep his namesake exclusive to his Jordan brand
@@Avenue77 an MJ trophy is really hard since the champs hold the Larry O'Brien and the Finals MVP have Bill Russell, all that's left for him is the MVP trophy
Having the previous champions’ logos or name plaques engraved on the trophy would be a great touch. Also having the previous season’s champion present the trophy to the winner alongside the commissioner would be a great touch for the ceremony

Love the engraving of the previous champions on the bottom base & eventual champions on the second one. Plus the net being more defined is a really nice touch.
I wish they did more to differentiate the conference MVP trophies. Should be a bit more inclination that they represent Larry and Magic or at the very least have some sort of design elements that show you its a conference MVP. Could have made them into silhouettes of Larry and Magic or at least had their silhouettes on the trophy. They just look like Finals MVP trophies.
