INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The National Basketball Association’s Larry O’Brien trophy will attend the 2023 Indy 500 red carpet as part of its “2023 NBA Finals Bucket List Tour.”
The Larry O’Brien Trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the NBA Finals. The trophy was originally named the Walter A. Brown Trophy and first awarded in 1977. The trophy was renamed in 1984 in honor of former NBA Commissioner Larry O’Brien, who served from 1975 to 1984.
The Los Angeles Lakers currently have the most Larry O’Brien Trophies, with 11 in total.
