An emotional LeBron James wailed, "Cleveland, this is for you!!" in front of a stunned crowd in Oakland. Yes, Cleveland's long running sports curse was finally put to rest when Akron native "King James" carried his team, and entire city, on his back, which culminated in the Cavaliers dramatic 2016 NBA Finals victory over the powerhouse Golden State Warriors in seven games. The Cavs even managed to win game 7 on the road.
Presented here is a 10K gold coaches ring with real diamonds that was awarded to Damon Jones by owner Dan Gilbert. Jones played for the Cavs from 2005-08 and later would become an assistant throughout James’ second tenure with the franchise. The ring closely resembles what players like LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love would have received. The face displays a bold maroon Cavs “C” with NBA Championship trophy. The trophy features a large diamond and the C is set in a bed of diamonds. The words “WORLD” and “CHAMPIONS” sit at the top and bottom of the face. On one shank is the last name “JONES” with a diamond-studded 2016 and the state of Ohio also displayed. The other shank features the Cleveland city skyline, the CAVS name, and CLE. The size 10 ring weighs an impressive 112 grams.
