Celebrating the NBA’s Greatest: A Collection of Replica Rings
An Homage to Basketball Legends
In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the sport’s history like the set of 25 replica rings offered here. These rings are crafted with a design nearly identical to the original Balfour-manufactured rings presented to the players named as the Top 50 All-Time players in 1996. Each ring, a testament to the enduring legacy of these basketball icons, weighs approximately 52 grams and is a non-gold masterpiece.

Design and Craftsmanship
The top panel of each ring proudly displays the words “NBA GREATEST PLAYERS” encircling a silver-like basketball with “50” in relief, a nod to the NBA’s 50th Anniversary. The left panel features the player’s name above the NBA 50th Anniversary logo, with the player’s number below. On the right panel, the years “1946” and “1996” flank the official NBA logo, encapsulating five decades of basketball excellence.
Inside each ring is the stamp “LGB SAMPLE,” a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship. Each ring is housed in an elegant wooden presentation box, measuring 8” x 6” x 2-½”, with an oval-shaped acrylic window laser-engraved with the “NBA 50” logo and the player’s name. While the hinge mechanisms on the Abdul-Jabbar and Bing ring boxes sustained slight damage during shipping, the rings themselves remain in MINT condition.
