The Naismith Trophy
The Naismith Trophy, the most prestigious honor in college basketball, annually recognizes the top men's and women's college players in the nation. Since the Atlanta Tipoff Club first gave the Naismith Trophy to Lew Alcindor in 1969, the Trophy has become a mark of excellence. Basketball's elite, including Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, David Robinson, and Bill Walton have raised the Naismith Trophy as the best players in college basketball.
