.KingJames says NBA should name an award or day after former commissioner David Stern
The NBA MVP award, given to the league's top player during a season, is named after the league's first commissioner Maurice Podoloff, who served from 1946 to 1963.
The NBA championship trophy is also named after another former league commissioner. From 1964 to 1984 the trophy was named after Walter Brown, the original owner of the Boston Celtics, but it was renamed in 1984 to honor former commissioner Larry O'Brien, who stepped down from the role that year.
The NBA could rename an award like the most improved player or the All-Star Game MVP, neither of which are currently named after anyone. The league also has the option of creating a new award to honor Stern, like the Magic Johnson Award, created in 2001 by the Pro Basketball Writers Association, to honor the Laker legend. According to NBA.com, the award is given to"a player who best combines excellence o the basketball court with cooperation and dignity in dealing with the media and the public."
