The best part about winning the NBA Championship, is the crazy ring you get at the end. The Lakers Championship rings are off the chain; they were made with 15k gold in honor of their 15th Championship title (take that 14k gold!).
This is some serious bling, as there are 14 diamonds around the outside, with a small trophy at the bottom (another nod to the 15th Championship title). Plus, all the player’s rings will feature both their individual portraits on one side, and jersey number on the other. Judging from the photos above, the Lakers Championship rings probably weigh about 15lbs each.
