Cavs' Rings Feature Comeback From 3-1 Down Against Warriors 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 26, 2016 4:34 am

The Cleveland Cavaliers received their 2016 championship rings before their 117-88 win over the New York Knicks on opening night.


The approximately 6.5-carat rings the owners, players, coaches and front-office members received were encrusted with more than 400 diamonds plus a one-carat diamond that adorns the top of the Larry O'Brien Trophy that appears across the ring face.


The interior side of the ring features a line of seven gemstones to represent the seven games that comprised the 2016 Finals. Three white diamonds depict the Warriors' wins, and four garnets represent the Cavaliers', symbolizing the first time in NBA history a team overcame a 3-1 series deficit to win the title.
