The NBA needs to name their Trophy. Like the Red Auerbach Trophy or something... -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 05:25 31
- It has a name. It's the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Not sure why it's named after him and I'll say that it needs to be changed without knowing - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:30 30
  - He was a former commissioner for the league. Not sure why he gets the trophy named after him since his tenure wasn't all that special. He did merge -- (edited) - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:34 29
    - Stanley Cup, Grey Cup, Super Bowl, Larry O'Brien Trophy... -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 05:43 20
      - The SB one is the Vince Lombardi Trophy and if you have something nasty to say about that one Vince will rise from the dead to rip your throat out. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:45 19
        
        This escalated quickly. :-) -- nm - MDH Apr 20, 06:05 2
        
        Vince doesn't appreciate people questioning his career excellence. - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 06:09 1
        
        I didn't know that, neat. Vince's Maryland house was near my grandparents. It's pretty cool to see. -- nm - MDH Apr 20, 06:21
        
        nah, that makes sense, just couldn't remember it. Does MLB have a name for it's one? -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 05:46 15
        
        Nope. It's just the Commissioner's Trophy. Boring! -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:48 14
        
        They should just pick a Yankee and name it after him. I'll say the Yogi. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:48 13

        The Babe Ruth Trophy, who doesn't like The Babe? -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 05:52 9
        
        Yogi won more rings and went to more WS than any other person. Besides, everyone loves Yogi. Even Yankee haters love Yogi. -- nm* - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:53 2
        
        The Steinbrenner -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 05:54 1
        
        You did mention being liked. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:55
        
        actually they should do what the NHL did and create a trophy for the HR leader and call THAT the Babe - Beaker Apr 20, 05:53 5
        
        And give the same trophy for the strike out leader too! -- nm - CQ Apr 20, 06:13 1
        
        You can call that one the Reggie. The Babe doesn't even rank in the top 100. Reggie has 2,597. Babe just 1,330. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 06:16
        
        That would work. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:53 2
        
        no one comes close to the NHL and their Awards. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 05:54 1
        
        Now if they can turn that into people watching they'll be all set. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:57
        
        If you're going that route, then it has to be the Claudell Washington Trophy. -- nm - CQ Apr 20, 05:50 1
        
        Of course, how could I forget the great Claudell Washington. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:52
    - Plus that's the most uninspiring name possible for a trophy. I just can't take the Larry o'Brian trophy seriously. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 05:42 7
      - Agreed. I'd be fine with it being the Auerbach Trophy, the Russell Trophy or even the Jordan Trophy. But O'Brien is crap. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:44 6
        
        Just, screw you guys. -- nm - James Naismith Apr 20, 05:57 1
        
        You already get the college basketball player of the year award named after you. Don't be greedy. You also have the court at KU named after you. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 06:01
        
        Should be named the Larry Bird trophy -- nm - CQ Apr 20, 05:47 3
        
        He didn't get to raise it enough for me. I'd go with Russell or Red. Jordan or Magic if you want someone more recent. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 05:49 2
        
        Just call it "The Larry" -- nm - CQ Apr 20, 05:51 1
        
        The best Missouri Valley college player gets The Larry at the end of the season. No joke. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 20, 06:00
