Mavericks Might Pass on Championship Rings and Get Something Else
USA Today - During the NBA Finals it was pointed out many times that such Dallas
Mavericks veterans as Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry had
never won a championship ring. And now, even though the Mavs won the
title, that still may be the case.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says championship rings aren't his thing, telling reporters that: "Rings are old school. Rings are done. It's time to take it to the next level and do something different."
Cuban
has a point. Championship rings are so bulky and gaudy that you seldom
see an athlete wearing one in public. Cuban no doubt still will want to
reward his players, but wouldn't say what alternatives were under
consideration.
Gotta expect the unexpected from old Mark Cuban. Can't say I would blame him if he went ahead a got something other than a ring. I got a High School ring and rocked that shit maybe one time. Now obviously that's different than an NBA championship ring, but NBA players are all about fashion these days and probably don't wear them to much anyway. I would say a sick ass looking plaque, or even an old school trophy that they could put up in their house.
