Like every year, the NBA title-holder team gave its players the symbol of triumph: this is how the Boston Celtics rings are made
Boston celebrating. The 2024-2025 season begins as the previous one ended. Clear success on New York Knicks in the debut game — 132-109, equaling the record of 29 triples scored in an NBA game — and great celebrations at the TD Garden. The reigning champions celebrated with their fans their title win last June, when they beat the Dallas Mavericks on Luka Doncic. Jayson Tatum, one of the protagonists of the triumph, told the fans that “the team is ready to repeat itself”. With the 18th banner the green and whites celebrated the absolute record of championships won in the NBA. As per tradition at the Celtics, not only today’s stars celebrated the title on the parquet, but also many champions from the past. With Tatum and the other protagonists of the current team, at the center of the scene were also legends who wore the franchise jersey as Bob Cousy, Cedric Maxwell, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett e Paul Pierce (protagonist of the last green and white triumph in 2008). «A passing of the baton – declared Jaylen Brown -. It truly was an incredible night.” The most awaited moment, now part of the tradition of overseas basketball, however, it was the delivery of the rings.
The ring giving ceremony
To wait Jayson Tatum and companions there was obviously also the trophy, surrounded by rings ready to be worn. The symbol celebrating the Celtics’ 18th title was forged in Woburn, just over a 15-minute drive from TD Garden, dalla New England Flag & Banner. And for the fans, replicas of the one destined to rise to the roof of the stadium were also produced.
From today it can be admired by fans who will look up once they enter the TD Garden.
The rings
But it is on the personalized rings distributed to the players that everyone’s attention has focused. The economic value of the object that sees 18 emeralds and 15 diamonds set and is close to 150 thousand dollars (the equivalent of almost 140 thousand euros), but the symbolic value is even higher. It contains both the engraving relating to the past successes of the Celtics, as well as the jersey numbers of the players who won the 2024 title. The object also shows the record of victories achieved by the team in the season, between regular season and playoffs a clear 80- 21, a statistic that aims to underline the superiority that characterized the green and whites. An iconic ring therefore, which enhances the memory of an already unforgettable season and which must relaunch the team’s ambitions also for the championship that has just begun.
