Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy

The Larry O'Brien NBA Championship trophy is two feet tall and is made of 15.5 pounds of sterling silver and vermeil with a 24 karat gold overlay. The basketball depicted on top is the same size as a real basketball. The trophy was designed by artist Victor Solomon for the NBA's 75th anniversary season and is manufactured by Tiffany & Co. In 1984, the trophy was renamed in honor of Larry O’Brien. Larry didn’t dedicate his life to basketball and there are no records of him ever even having played a serious game of basketball. However, he was commissioner from 1974-1984 when NBA’s popularity reached new heights. He drove the ABA-NBA merger, which would eventually grow the league from 18 teams to 23. One of the most important rule changes in O’Brien’s time was the introduction of the three-point field goal in 1979.
