A former star with the Edmonton Stingers has served as the inspiration for the redesign of the Canadian Elite Basketball League’s trophy awarded to the league’s most valuable player.
“The trophy marked by an ‘X’ mounted on a maple hardwood base was inspired by CEBL’s three-time MVP Xavier Moon (2019, 2020 and 2021) who currently holds a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers,” the league posted on its website on Wednesday.
“The trophy was designed by Montreal-based trophy maker, Protocole, who also designed the CEBL Championship Trophy.”

During the 2021 season, Moon averaged more than 23 points per game for the Stingers.
Moon, a 27-year-old guard who originally hails from Alabama, helped the Stingers capture two CEBL championships with his dominant play before joining the NBA’s Clippers organization during the 2021-22 season.
The CEBL tweeted a photo of its new MVP award on Wednesday night with the caption: “Presenting the new #CEBL #MVP Trophy inspired by 3x MVP @xavier_moon.”
