The Evolution of Basketball Trophies
Remember the days when all you got for winning that intense tournament were dinky basketball medals?
Well, boring now you can say goodbye to boring basketball awards!
Basketball trophies have come a long way! I’m talking about trophies that have bobbleheads, spinning sports balls and movable arms and legs!
Can’t decide which image or design to use for your basketball team? Let them choose! Use a different image insert for each medal! Use a different saying or logo on each trophy! Not one has to be alike!
Want to go with a more formal approach? Get basketball plaques! You can engrave anything you want on them or even insert a photo of your basketball team. Either way, a basketball plaque mounted on a wall is sure to create memories that will last for generations.
Going along with a classy theme, you can get acrylic basketball awards, glass basketball awards and crystal basketball awards. The crystal awards feature a basketball player lasered inside to create an interesting unique 3-D look.
Maybe you don’t want to make a big deal out of a win or even a loss! So you can opt for basketball pins, basketball pins, basketball ribbons, or basketball certificates. This way nobody is forgotten and everyone will have a little souvenir of from the good times or the bad times!
So remember, you shouldn’t have to feel obligated to get basketball trophies & awards for your team, but rather, you should want to! Designing and building a basketball trophy has never been more fun!

Just what your basketball team needs
basketball trophies
Ever wonder what will give your army of basketball-ers that extra boost to win those lovely basketball trophies & medals? Maybe it is the basketball trophies & basketball medals themselves! By designing and building your very own trophy you can cater to the needs and likings of your squad of basketball players so that every game is a victory and every award is one of their most prized possessions.
Start here: Begin with what type of award you want. You can choose from trophies: gold or silver, basketball sculptures with with hand painted colors or bronze finishes, or
basketball plaques which are offered in wood acrylic or rosewood, among others. Let us also not forget the ever ubiquitous basketball medals & basketball ribbons. You can choose from a selection of styles that include 3D medals, a really unique flip-sided design, or even choose from one of many images to easily insert.
You can also opt for a classier look for your basketball award by choosing crystal or the more affordable, acrylic. These glass basketball awards and acrylic basketball awards can feature a male or basketball female player holding a basketball or if you prefer, an engraved basketball on the award to stand alone.
Finally, don’t want to spend an exuberant amount on your basketball trophies & basketball awards? Look into some cute and simple basketball pins that can easily be uniformly donned by a proud basketball team.

Trophy News from ESPN
Kobe Bryant recently said he would rather win an Olympic gold medal than the NBA championship. Was he merely saying what was politically correct before the Olympics? Did he say it only because it sounds better than “I would rather win an Olympic gold medal than lose the NBA championship”? Or does an Olympic gold medal really mean more to him than a professional championship?
Only Kobe knows for sure but what about you? What sporting trophy means the most to you? Of all the things you could win in sports, which would you choose? A Super Bowl ring? The Masters green jacket? The Heisman Trophy? The Cy Young Award? A World Series? A Final Four? There are dozens upon dozens of championships and awards to win, but which would you most want to claim?
Here are a few quick caveats on my rankings:
The form of the award matters. Trophies top plaques, and the bigger the better. After all, you want the damn thing to look impressive in your trophy case.
Names count, too. Awards named in honor of a person (such as the Cy Young) just resonate more than those that, while prestigious, are named something boring and generic like the “MVP award.”
Durability counts. Generally, the longer the award has been around, the more it means.

Trophy News From Australia
RINGWOOD’S Big V Division 2 women’s team locked up top spot on the ladder last week following a 66-46 demolition of Blackburn on Saturday night before backing-up with a 64-62 win over Keilor.
The win over Keilor last Sunday afternoon saw the Lady Hawks claim the Neighbourhood Watch trophy in what may well be a dress rehearsal for the first week of the finals.
Both teams were backing-up from a game the night before and the contest was a tough finals-like arm-wrestle from the start. Neither team was able to lead by more than six points all day while there were 18 lead-changes and scores were tied four times in a game befitting a trophy battle.

Pennsylvania athletes brought home several trophies and medals over the past week
Local fans were riveted to Friday night’s Class AAA matchup between Steel-High and Susquehanna Twp., an unusual championship game pairing two teams from the same area.
Only one team takes home the trophy, however, and Steel-High added yet more hardware to the school’s trophy case.
The same day, the Central Dauphin girls gave the school its first state basketball championship by coming from behind in the second half to beat Mount Lebanon for the AAAA, or large-school, title.
As Central Dauphin and Steel-High paraded championship trophies around Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center, East Pennsboro’s Leah Gingrich spent Friday and Saturday setting two state swimming records in winning Class AA gold medals in the 200-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle at Bucknell University.
Gingrich wasn’t the only local swimmer to make a big splash during the four days at Kinney Natatorium. Hershey’s Katie Nolan was named the outstanding swimmer in the girls AAA meet by taking two individual gold medals in the 100-yard butterfly (in state record time) and 100-yard free, and earning a third with teammates Erica Rapp, Katelyn Miller and Jordan Liedholm in the 400-free relay.
Younger brother David Nolan added to the family mantel with a boys AA gold in the 200-yard IM. A fourth area swimmer, Cumberland Valley’s Steven Gasparini, captured gold in the boys AAA 200 IM.
These performances came a week after Central Dauphin won the AAA state team wrestling championship at the Giant Center.
Congratulations to all of the Pennsylvania trophy and medal winners!

Trophies News spotlights the new Carolina Basketball Museum
UNC’s Carolina Basketball Museum, which opened to the public on Jan. 28, features more than 450 pieces of memorabilia and trophies from the celebrated basketball program. The museum cost $3.4 million and covers 8,000 square feet.
The new museum is an upgrade from the much smaller memorabilia and trophy room in the Smith Center, which was used for other sports as well. The only other university with a basketball-only museum is Kentucky.
The trophy room is filled with ACC championship, Final Four and NCAA championship memorabilia. The NCAA Championship trophy case still has room for four more trophies, should UNC win them someday.
The idea was formed roughly five years ago when Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith decided to donate his extensive collection of memorabilia to North Carolina.
“I think that Carolina fans are a pretty passionate group about the basketball team,” said Steve Kirschner, UNC’s associate athletic director for communications and a member of the museum committee. “We’ve been blessed with a great deal of success, both great teams, great players, great coaches. We’ve never had one place where we’ve been able to bring all that together in terms of the memorabilia and the trophies. We have that now with this museum.”
