The Los Angeles Lakers won five NBA titles during the 20-year career of Kobe Bryant and 12-year coaching tenure of Phil Jackson reestablishing the organization as the league's top dog during the first decade of the new millennium. Offered here is the Lakers' fourth championship ring of the decade coming at the end of a dominant 2008-09 campaign. After a 67-15 regular season the Lakers knocked off the Jazz Rockets and Nuggets in the Western Conference playoffs before taking out Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals in five. Kobe took home Finals MVP honors.
This impressive 2009 NBA Championship 15K gold ring was issued to a close personal friend of the Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak and is crafted to the exact specifications of the player versions issued to Kobe Fisher Gasol etc. It consists of 148 round cut diamonds with a total carat weight of 2.75. The diamonds are set atop the 15-karat yellow and white gold bezel. The face has an elevated gold Lakers logo resting across the top of a Larry O’Brien trophy. Seven diamonds run up each side of the face representing the 14 previous titles achieved by the Lakers. The 14 diamonds are separated at the top of the face by “2009 World” and bottom of the face by “Champions.” The left shank features a gold silhouette of the Los Angeles city skyline the year “09” and the team’s season record “65-17" with the recipient's name "RENDELMAN" at the top. The right shank lists each playoff series result the roman numeral “XV” and the finals record “4-1” at the bottom. Stamped inside the band is "JBH-294" (maker Jason of Beverly Hills) and "15K". The ring comes in size 9.5 and presents in fabulous condition. The original black presentation box is included with a specially engraved gold plaque on the front reading “2009 NBA WORLD CHAMPIONS LOS ANGELES LAKERS CHUCK RENDELMAN”.
