The Most Coveted Trophies and Awards in Sports

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Trophies

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.

The first-place Spelling Bee trophy went to Creek and Spot Bay Junior School student Venkata Batta. His many weeks of practice with school peers and coaches, as well as years of reading educational and fun books, helped lead to excellence in spelling.

Venkata’s rewards for winning the spelling bee included a trophy, a laptop computer – and a thesaurus.

The overall school trophy also went to Creek and Spot Bay Junior School, which led its competitors with a total of 78 points.

The high-school level spelling competition took place last week with Elizabeth Wahler of John Gray High School placing first. Her prize package included a trophy and a laptop computer.
