Kobe Bryant gave his father the 14-karat gold 2000 NBA championship ring and had a total of 40 diamonds

 

“Obtained directly from the Bryant family, this ring is a true one-of-a-kind, and we can confirm that it is the only championship ring ever given by Kobe to his father,” the auction site Goldin read.

Joe Bryant, the father of Kobe Bryant, is putting up for auction the 2000 NBA championship ring that his son bestowed upon him.

The Goldin indicates that the ring is composed of forty diamonds and is crafted from fourteen-karat gold, with five larger round diamonds positioned flanking the face to engrave the word ‘LAKERS’ in purple enamel.
