Short for Championship - Chip or Ship?

[Lalouie]

ring

This.

A team wins a champìonship. A player wins a ring.

They're not the same thing.

then where'd the term "ring team" come from
i never heard of "ship team" or "chip team"

ARE YOU MAKING THIS UP?? :D

and btw, where's the precedence for the this nomenclature showing the distinction

[Salieri]

This.

A team wins a champìonship. A player wins a ring.

They're not the same thing.

then where'd the term "ring team" come from

From misusing the word.

Anyway, I won't fight anybody on this. For me, they're not the same thing. If you guys wanna claim they are, fine by me. My OCD won't let me agree, but starting a debate over semantics is not my goal here.

Carry on.

I think of it in two different ways...i know playing for a nationalstae high school championship, etc, we used to sing "we going to the ship.." but as an adult I also say until they get the chip it means nothing. I still think ship is more the correct one though

I don't remember anyone referring to it as "ship". I've heard/seen chip and ring.

[Potential]

I'm jealous of hockey referring to it as "cup"

The NHL crowds chanting "we want the cup" is cool asf too. I wish there was a chant like that in the NBA. What about "We want the chip?"

ring

This.

A team wins a champìonship. A player wins a ring.

They're not the same thing.

That context was not specified in the OP.

And ship sounds stupid.
