On February 3, 2022, the National Basketball Association (NBA) revealed a revamped version of the Kobe Bryant trophy, which was set to be awarded to the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player (MVP). The new design was created by the artist Victor Solomon, whose work on the trophy design was centered on paying tribute to some of Bryant’s career achievements. For example, the revamped version has an 8-sided base, which partly stands for Bryant’s number 8 jersey. The trophy base is decorated with 18 stars, which represents Bryant’s 18 All-Star selections.
In January 2020, the former American basketball professional Kobe Bryant died along with his daughter and seven others in a helicopter crash in California. The MVP trophy was renamed in his honor.
