How to treat NBA league named MVP of Western Conference Finals after magician?

In the 2022 season, the NBA added the most valuable player award in the regional finals, named Irwin Magic Johnson Cup. This is named after the famous magician Johnson of the Lakers. He won the western championship nine times in his career and performed very well.

The public has different views on this newly established award. On the one hand, some people think this is a very appropriate decision. Magic Johnson's influence and achievements in basketball are obvious to all. Naming this award after him is undoubtedly a high recognition of his career. In addition, after Curry became the first person in the award, the magician also congratulated him through social media for the first time.

On the other hand, some people think that the establishment of this award may cause some controversy. For example, some people think that Magic Johnson has a high position in basketball, but he didn't win the honor of MVP in the finals, so whether he is really qualified to name this award after him is worth discussing.

Generally speaking, the NBA named the Western Union MVP trophy after Magic Johnson, which is worthy of recognition from the perspective of respecting history and promoting the development of basketball. However, how to treat this award may need to be decided according to everyone's understanding of Magic Johnson and basketball history.
