The Making Of A Dallas Mavericks Championship Ring

Found June 04, 2012 on NBA 24/7 365: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dwight Howard,  Jason Kidd,  Mark Cuban
TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks,  Orlando Magic
Miami_heat_vs_8dfa
Barring some sort of Deron Williams/Dwight Howard free agency/trade miracle, Jostens probably won’t be whipping up another batch of Dallas Mavericks Championship rings any time soon.  Still, it’s interesting to observe the creativity that went into designing the ring, and then the actual creation process itself.  You can skip to the 1:30 mark of the video embedded above (via DimeMag.com) to do just that. Note that each ring includes 257 diamonds.  Bling Bling.  Also note that Jason Kidd pretty much called the shots.  Mark Cuban wasn’t trying to get smacked up.
