The NBA unveiled the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy for the league’s annual Social Justice Champion award before the Nuggets-Lakers game on Sunday.[

Designed by James Adams Jr., Jason Garrett, Vijay Singh and Lacy Talley, the trophy honors Abdul-Jabbar’s legacy and embodies the role of the Social Justice Champion.



Utilizing Abdul-Jabbar’s commitment to creating an equal and just society, leveling the playing field...

... and ensuring that every child is free to dream as inspiration ,

the structure features a 3-D print of Abdul-Jabbar’s hands holding up these ideals in the form of a basketball-globe, which represents the impact athletes and activists can have to use their platforms and advance social justice globally.

The gold, six-sided base symbolizes harmony and balance while celebrating Abdul-Jabbar’s holistic excellence – both with his six NBA titles and many accolades outside of the game.

"Commitment to creating an equal and just society"?? What a bunch of garbage.

This is a Total BS Award that symbolizes the Elitism. Divisiveness. Hypocrisy. Phony Virtue. And faux "commitment" of the NBA -- BUT ironically is a true representation of what Jabbar AND this NBA is about.
