TFoA Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Found this on tumblr via hoopism today...thought it was kinda cool.(Click for high-res)From the guys who made the graphic:The NBA Championship ring is that piece of hardware every fan knows about. We can name which franchises have won the most rings, measure our favorite players by rings they’ve won, and even call out the players that have never gotten one in their careers. Dirk “NoRingski”. But, one thing that we don’t always know is what the rings look like. Even the Basketball Hall of Fame doesn’t have a championship ring to showcase! Why? Because each ring is a precious and personal piece to that specific player; unlike the Championship trophies. And no player is willing to give that up.And here's the bonus: A visual representation of every jersey worn in a Slam Dunk Contest. Most of the fonts on the jerseys are inaccurate, but it's a fun image to look at, just like the ring poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver2david Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I had forgotten that Brent Barry wore his warm-up jacket in the dunk contest. These are cool graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Wow, great finds indeed. Those would both make awesome posters, though I think someone (Don? Alex?) could make a more accurate version of the SDC one. I'd also like to see the Ring graphic in chronological order to see the progression of the ring's design across the decades...

Arts11 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Wow, I didn't know they apparently had standardized ring designs till like the late 80s. I know I've seen pics of some of the pre-80s rings before, but I never realized they were apparently from the same template. Very cool pic.

KDubK414 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 What's crazy about that info-graphic, is the fact that 2 teams in total have 2more rings than the rest of the league combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YessSir32 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This is very cool to look at. Only if they were ordered by the year, it would be cool to see how they have changed over the years. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
