<p>Michael Jordan's name is now on one of the NBA's most prestigious trophies. </p>
<p>The league announced six newly designed trophies on Tuesday. They are all named after NBA legends</p>
<p>The new Michael Jordan Trophy will go to the NBA's most valuable player. The bronze trophy features a player coming out of a rock and reaching a crystal basketball. </p>
<p>“I’m incredibly honored to have created the NBA’s MVP trophy in partnership with Michael Jordan,” Mark Smith, retired VP of Innovation Special Projects at Nike,</p>
<p>Jordan won the NBA's MVP award five times during his career.</p>
<p>This season, the defensive player of the year will receive the Hakeem Olajuwon Trophy. The rookie of the year will take home the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy. The sixth man of the year will get the John Havlicek Trophy. The George Mikan Trophy will go to the most improved player. </p>
<p>The Jerry West Trophy will go to the new "clutch" player of the year. The media panel will decide on a winner based on nominations from NBA head coaches. </p>
<p>“Our new collection of trophies celebrates some of the greatest and most impactful players in the history of the NBA,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “As we recognize the league’s top performers each season, we also pay tribute to the legends who embody these prestigious awards.”</p>

					Surging shopper demand coupled with shipping container shortages and bottlenecks at ports has already triggered a tighter supply of products, from cars to shoes.In particular, some of America's biggest sellers of clothing and shoes cite one catalyst that has compounded the pressure: factory closures in Vietnam stemming from a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak there. That's led brands from PacSun to Nike to warn about the effects on their supply.In late December, Nike cut its full-year sales outlook due to supply chain issues, despite its CEO noting strong consumer demand.Nike makes about three-quarters of its shoes in Southeast Asia, with 51% and 24% of manufacturing in Vietnam and Indonesia respectively.But as the Vietnam government-imposed pandemic-related restrictions, including a  mandatory shutdown of factories for several weeks from July into September, Nike said it incurred 10 weeks of lost production.Even when factories start to reopen, which the company expects to happen in phases beginning in October, ramping up to full production could take several months, Nike's chief financial officer Matthew Friend said in a recent earnings call. Half of Nike's clothing factories in Vietnam are currently closed, company executives said during that call.Vietnam accounts for a third of sports brand Under Armour's footwear and clothing production. Under Armour's CEO Patrik Frisk said during its most recent earnings call in August that it was closely monitoring the impact of factory shutdowns there on its supply chain there, calling it a "developing situation."Ugg, Coach and Michael Kors have exposureVietnam is a crucial supplier to the U.S. in particular for apparel and footwear."It's a very big partner of the United States. It's our second-largest source of apparel and footwear," said Steve Lamar, president and CEO of the American Apparel and Footwear Association, an industry group. China is the largest supplier of clothing and shoes, according to the AAFA.In July, Vietnam was caught in the throes of a coronavirus outbreak caused by a suspected new variant of the virus, which Vietnam's health minister said led to a fast spread of new infections in the nation's industrial zones.The government subsequently imposed strict lockdowns and temporarily shut factories there until mid-August, then extended it into September. Some factories are still closed.All of this means that production for everything from sneakers and sandals to jeans, dresses, T-shirts, jackets and more are stalled.In a research note last month, BITG analyst Camilo Lyon said athletic footwear brands such as Nike and Adidas are most at risk of having serious supply chain disruptions because "Vietnam has served as a strong manufacturing alternative to China in recent years."Other brands that have significant manufacturing exposure to Vietnam, he said, include Ugg maker Deckers Outdoor, Columbia Sportswear, Coach parent Tapestry and Capri Holdings (which owns the Michael Kors brand).Lyon estimates it may take five to six months for factories in Vietnam to be back up and running normally when the lockdown ends. And whenever they do come back online, he anticipates another issue: staffing."Vietnamese factories will also likely have trouble getting workers to come back to work post-lockdown," he said.Teen retailer PacSun is expecting an impact on the holiday season.Brieane Olson, president of PacSun, said in an interview in August with CNNBusiness that about 10% of its goods are sourced from Vietnam.Olson said the retailer was already dealing with a two-to-four-week delay for its back-to-school inventory this year because of the ongoing global supply chain delays.Now, she said, new products for the winter and holiday season are likely to also face another four-week delay, she said, making it a challenge to get new fashions and styles in jeans, tops, sweaters and sweatshirts into stores in a timely manner.And there's an additional effect on the consumer, Olson said: Having less product means the retailer will pull back on discounts "because there is no need for it," she said.
