The Dejan Milojević Trophy unveiled

The league’s NLB Most Valuable Player for the regular season will from this year be awarded with The Dejan Milojević Trophy, bearing the name of the AdmiralBet ABA League legend and one of the most beloved basketball persons in this region.

The trophy itself does not resemble its namesake as for us it was important that the trophy only symbolizes Milojević’s remarkable career and that it has details on it that refer to some part of Milojević’s ABA  journey as well as to his greatest values and strengths.

Therefore, the base of the trophy is created to have 4 sides which symbolize the 4 seasons he played in the AdmiralBet ABA League.

The writings on the trophy, that include its name and the name of the award, have 3 rows which symbolize the 3 MVP awards that Dejan Milojević won in the AdmiralBet ABA League.

The whole trophy is exactly 13 inches tall which refers to number 13 that Milojević wore while playing for Budućnost VOLI and Partizan Mozzart Bet in the AdmiralBet ABA League.

The figure of the player on the trophy has a rocky look as Milojević was regarded as one of the strongest players to play the game in our region.

The figure also has a little smile on it as Dejan Milojević will always be remembered for his smile and for being the kindest person ever in the basketball world.

Finally, the values such are basketball strength and human kindness are the values that every MVP should have and that is what the trophy should remind every future recipient of this award.

The Dejan Milojević Trophy was made by renowned sculptor Katarina Tripković, who also created the AdmiralBet ABA League Championship Trophy.
