Ranking the best championship rings in NBA history: 22. Miami Heat, 2012

For as much hype and attention that the Miami Heat received during the LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh era, their 2012 NBA Championship rings were somewhat underwhelming. That’s not to say that it wasn’t an impressive ring but in our estimation, we were expecting a bit more.

The Larry O’Brien trophy sat in the center of their rings as the Miami Heat logo stood splattered across it. The trophy was gold and the logo was covered in diamonds. There was a simplistic black background and around the inner and outer edges were diamonds. On the side of their rings were the jersey numbers of each player from that season, along with the message “All In” written inside the Larry O’Brien trophy.

In total, the Miami Heat were given fantastic rings, and considering that there were 217 diamonds used in total only backs that claim but again, for our taste, we were expecting more. When the Big 3 first arrived on the scene, it appeared as though the road to a championship would always go through Miami. While it ultimately did for four years, the Heat only have two rings to show for it.
