With the NBA season wrapping up on Wednesday and the Playoffs beginning on Saturday I found myself reading a little about the MVP candidates for this year (since I don't pay a whole lot of attention until the playoffs). It appears to be a 3-man race between LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade. In reading into this I found out something interesting that I honestly didn't know and that is that the MVP trophy is called the Maurice Podoloff trophy. Maurice was a lawyer and was the first president of the NBA. While president he introduced the collegiate draft as well as instituted the 24 second shot clock. You can read his wikipedia article here.
