Ranking the best championship rings in NBA history: 5. Los Angeles Lakers, 2020

2020 was an extremely weird year.

A worldwide pandemic forced the NBA to take a hiatus and many believed that the season would be completely lost. Thankfully for everyone involved, they kicked things back off approximately three months later.

With no fans sitting in attendance and with plenty of social distancing, the NBA Playoffs successfully took place. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the rest of their Los Angeles Laker teammates took care of business in the playoff “bubble” and ultimately cruised to an NBA title.

In return, each player received one of the most decked-out rings in history.

On the front of each ring was the Laker logo which was appropriately covered in gold, yellow and white diamonds. The words “World Champions” were also littered in diamonds as well. Surrounding the outer edges of the ring are 17 trophies which made reference to the number of titles they’ve won as a franchise.

In addition to their team’s regular season record, as well as their record in the playoffs being plastered on the side of the ring, the Lakers added a cool extra feature. In honor of the unfortunate passing of Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest players in NBA history and arguably the greatest Laker ever, his signature Mamba snake is wrapped around every player’s jersey number.

This ring is as good as it gets.
