I feel like what Kobe Bryant must have felt like at one point—had the NBA Championship Trophy been made of Italian food.

Chef Josh Elkin, known for his Chicken Corn Dog Bleu-ing and Pizza Caking, has Larry O’Brien’d his way into food history with his endearing rendition of the infamous NBA award. With a base of noodles/garlic bread, and crowned with a glorious cheese-stuffed meatball, Elkin’s creation is a beautiful contribution to the world of sports-food crossovers.

Even more majestic—the trophy’s internal pool of marinara lets a stream of sauce gently runneth over the cup, down the body of bread in all its glory.

Josh Elkin is the real MVP.
