There is only one nba championship trophy, which is taken by the team that wins the championship every year, and then taken out when it wins the championship the next year. Which team won the championship this season will be kept by that team for one year, but the championship ring is for everyone.

This trophy has been used since 1977, replacing the previous Walter A Brown trophy. The trophy used the old name of "Walter A. Brown Trophy" until the NBA Finals in 1984 to commemorate Larry O'brien, the former president of NBA, who served as the president of NBA from 1975 to 1983.

Trophy making

The Larry O 'Brien Champion Trophy is made of 14.5 pound sterling silver, plated with 24K pure gold, and 2 feet high. The shape design of the trophy is like a basketball about to enter the net. This "basketball" has a diameter of 9 inches, which is similar to the size of a common basketball. The trophy, worth $65,438+03,500, was awarded by Tiffany &; Co.) manufacturing.

The NBA championship team will keep the trophy forever, and the trophy will also be engraved with the year and the name of the winning team, and will often be displayed on the court.

In 2005, the legendary tour of NBA was held in new york. As part of the tour, Larry O'brien's championship trophy was exhibited in several cities (including several playoff host cities) for fans to sign and take photos. During the trip, the trophy was escorted by several former NBA players, including Julius Erving, Karim Abdel-Jabbar and bill russell.
