The Los Angeles Lakers traded Shaquille ONeal to the Miami Heat in 2004 after a successful yet challenging 8-year ride that included three straight NBA titles and constant bickering with Kobe Bryant. Pat Riley and company were elated to unite the most dominant center in the game with their young shooting guard and rising star Dwyane Wade. After one season of gelling Diesel and DWade proved to be the perfect match in 2005-06 as they led the Heat to their first ever championship. Shaqs fourth career title must have seemed like his finest moment as it came with little drama and brought new joy to the city of Miami and a franchise longing for greatness. This 2006 Miami Heat World Championship ring was issued to Shaqs stepfather Phil Harrison. Growing up in Newark NJ Shaq never had a relationship with his biological father. He always credited Harrison for being there for him and referred to him as his real dad.
The 14-karat white gold ring holds over over 150 individually cut diamonds (approx. 6 carats total) spread out beautifully on the face and each flank. On the face is a diamond-studded basketball above a hoop and floor combo design this all laid out over a gorgeous Onyx stone. The perimeter of the face has a diamond-studded pattern spelling out WORLD CHAMPIONS and another layer of diamonds in unison just below it. One shank has HARRISON 15 STRONG and FAITH plus the year 2006 with a diamond-studded crown in the middle. The other flank has the team name NBA logo FAMILY and a diamond-studded Heat logo in the middle. The name Phil Harrison in lovely cursive and JOSTENS 14K are engraved inside the band. The size 14 ring weighs a hefty 80 grams and it has 2.5 troy oz. of white gold. The ring shows some wear but remains in near pristine condition. The wooden presentation box is not the same one as the players get; the consignor used a Heat staff member ring box instead. Comes with a Heat COA card in the roof of the box.
