NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced the news in a press conference today ahead of Sunday’s All-Star game. It’s only fitting that the trophy be named after Kobe, who has been honored throughout the weekend’s festivities.

No one embodied All-Star more than Kobe Bryant, Silver said in announcing the change, according to Bleacher Report.

In addition to the renaming of the MVP award, the fourth quarter has been reformatted to honor Kobe: The frame will be untimed, with the winner decided by taking the leading team’s score, adding 24 points and setting that as the target score to reach in order to win the game.
