獎杯是怎麼設計的？
The Michael Jordan Trophy stands 23.6 inches tall and weighs 23.6 pounds, representing Jordan’s No. 23 jersey and the number of NBA championships (six) he won. Its five-sided base is a nod to Jordan’s five league MVPs.
邁克爾·喬丹獎杯高 23.6 英寸，重 23.6 磅，代表喬丹的 23 号球衣和他獲得的 NBA 總冠軍數（6 個）。它的五邊形底座是對喬丹的五個聯盟 MVP 的緻敬。
The rest of the trophies feature an embedment inside a 15-inch crystal net structure. The front of the award is flat to allow you to see the icon depicted inside, and the etching of the award and recipient is detailed at the bottom.
其餘獎杯嵌入一個 15 英寸的水晶網結構中。獎品的正面是平的，可以讓您看到裡面描繪的圖示，獎品和獲獎者的蝕刻細節在底部。
The Jerry West Trophy features a player shooting a jump shot, modeled after West’s form. The Hakeem Olajuwon Trophy shows a player in a defensive stance with one hand up and one down and his knees bent.
傑裡·韋斯特獎杯的特點是一名球員跳投，模仿韋斯特的狀态。哈基姆·奧拉朱旺獎杯展示了一名球員處于防守姿态，一隻手舉起，一隻手放下，膝蓋彎曲。
Since Chamberlain won the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in his first NBA season (1959-60), the NBA renamed ROY after him. The trophy features a player palming two basketballs at once.
由于張伯倫在他的第一個 NBA 賽季（1959-60）獲得了年度最佳新秀和 MVP 獎項，NBA 以他的名字更名為 ROY。獎杯的特點是一名球員同時掌管兩個籃球。
For the John Havlicek Trophy, the design features a player elevated and shooting a running jumper, representing the boost provided by a player off the bench to his team. Meanwhile, the George Mikan Trophy resembles a figure doing the “Mikan Drill,” a layup and footwork exercise commonly used around the league. Mikan mastered the fundamentals as the NBA’s first dominant big man.
對于約翰·哈夫利切克獎，設計的特點是一名球員舉起并投出跑動跳投，代表替補球員為球隊提供的助力。與此同時，喬治麥肯就像一個人在做訓練，這是聯盟中常用的上籃和腳步練習。邁肯掌握了基本原理，成為 NBA 第一個具有統治力的大個子。
他們在說什麼
West and Olajuwon said they are honored to have the newly designed trophies named after them.
“There are few greater thrills as a basketball player than coming through for your teammates and fans when they need it most,” West said in a statement. “This new trophy will be awarded to the player who best delivers in those moments.”
韋斯特和奧拉朱旺表示，他們很榮幸能夠以他們的名字命名新設計的獎杯。
韋斯特在一份聲明中說：“作為一名籃球運動員，沒有什麼比在隊友和球迷最需要的時候挺身而出更令人興奮的了。” “這個新獎杯将頒發給在關鍵時刻表現最好的球員。”
Olajuwon said: “I am honored to have the opportunity to celebrate the league’s best defensive player each year. Great basketball teams are defined by their ability to defend, with every great team connected by an elite defensive anchor.”
奧拉朱旺說：“我很榮幸每年都有機會給聯盟最佳防守球員頒獎。偉大的籃球隊是由他們的防守能力來定義的，每支偉大的球隊都由一名優秀的防守主力來引導。”
