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.
迈克尔·乔丹奖杯高 23.6 英寸，重 23.6 磅，代表乔丹的 23 号球衣和他获得的 NBA 总冠军数（6 个）。它的五边形底座是对乔丹的五个联盟 MVP 的致敬。
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.
其余奖杯嵌入一个 15 英寸的水晶网结构中。奖品的正面是平的，可以让您看到里面描绘的图标，奖品和获奖者的蚀刻细节在底部。
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.
杰里·韦斯特奖杯的特点是一名球员跳投，模仿韦斯特的状态。哈基姆·奥拉朱旺奖杯展示了一名球员处于防守姿态，一只手举起，一只手放下，膝盖弯曲。
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.
由于张伯伦在他的第一个 NBA 赛季（1959-60）获得了年度最佳新秀和 MVP 奖项，NBA 以他的名字更名为 ROY。奖杯的特点是一名球员同时掌管两个篮球。
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.
对于约翰·哈夫利切克奖，设计的特点是一名球员举起并投出跑动跳投，代表替补球员为球队提供的助力。与此同时，乔治麦肯就像一个人在做训练，这是联盟中常用的上篮和脚步练习。迈肯掌握了基本原理，成为 NBA 第一个具有统治力的大个子。
他们在说什么
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.”

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.”
奥拉朱旺说：“我很荣幸每年都有机会给联盟最佳防守球员颁奖。伟大的篮球队是由他们的防守能力来定义的，每支伟大的球队都由一名优秀的防守主力来引导。”
