Laker gold — Most rings are 14-karat gold but the Lakers’ high-profile jeweler, Jason of Beverly Hills, created a special batch of 15-karat Laker gold to commemorate their 15th NBA championship. The ring is made of both white and yellow gold and was built from seven different parts that had to be assembled. Most rings are built as one unit.

Bling that’ll blind — The ring is comprised of 15 diamonds weighing in at 2.85 carats.

Home court advantage — The Lakers’ rings mirror the shape of the exterior of their home arena, the Staples Center. When viewed from the side, you can see the "roof" and "sides" of the Lakers’ home court.

Personalization — In the past every player has had their name and number on the side of their ring. The Lakers went a step above that and laser engraved the image of each player’s face on his ring.

Lock-down defense — Each ring boasts a hand-selected, diamond-engraved "L". The "L" is placed in a different position on each player’s ring and is only viewable with a high-powered microscope. This helps authenticate each players piece. For further security and authentification, every ring has a serial number which is stored in a database that only the Lakers themselves and the jeweler can access.

Hollywood packaging, too — Each ring will be presented in an oversized box roughly the size of a watch box. When opened, each box has two built-in LED spotlights that shine on the ring. Even the ring itself gets royal treatment: it is mounted on a rotating mechanical platform.

see what I mean about Barkley

He is laughing because of the players that get rings…by the way so is webber. What bugs me the most is that both Barkley and Webber were supposed to be players that teams were built around them but neither one had that leadership quality. Jordan once even said that Barkely could never win a title because he never wanted to put in the work in the off season. Webber on the other hand was never a leader. In clutch moments with the Kings he always looked for Bibby! Why do they laugh now? Webber has always been a dissapointment as a leader since Michigan and his “time out” call with the Fab five. So why the laughter at Morrison and S. Brown and the rest of the role players?

His post play has been good and he’s hounded Thornton at the defensive end.

Bill the Celtic Simmons had a great quote on that in his recent NBA preview

14. Andrew Bynum
I am 65 percent certain that this exact conversation happened within the past four weeks.

(Kobe enters Phil Jackson’s office. Brian Shaw is sitting to Phil’s right.)

Phil: Kobe, thanks for stopping by.

Kobe: No problem. I got five minutes. Artest is taking me to Hollywood Boulevard; he wants to introduce me to the guys dressed up like Superman and Batman. He thinks they’re the actual superheroes. I haven’t had the heart to tell him they’re homeless guys.

Phil: Well, don’t tell him differently. Let him think that.

Kobe: I will.

Phil: Look, I really want to get Bynum more involved in our offense in November and December. It’s a good thing, Kobe. Just trust me. We run everything through him for 42 minutes. You take over for the last six.

Kobe: C’mon, we did this last season. Then he got hurt, I took over and our team took off. Why go through the charade again?

Phil: Because you’re still two titles behind MJ?

Kobe: That’s your big motivational move with me now, huh?

Phil: Hey, he told me himself — “Tell Kobe to call me when he gets to six.”

Kobe (eyes narrowing): He said that?

Phil: Yup. He said he can’t even take you seriously until you win two more.

Kobe: Really?

Phil: Yup. That’s why we need Bynum right now. The Pechonkamappadosa tribe has a phrase for this called, “Kakaboomaka.” It means, “To share the credit without giving up credit with those who matter.” I just want to build his confidence up and save your legs. We put a ton of miles on those babies these past two years — 208 games. This is good for you.

Kobe: Lemme think about it.

(Kobe leaves. Phil turns to Shaw.)

Phil: This is too easy.

and i’m at pains to explain this to Lebron jock riders that LBj gets the stats he does because he plays in a different offensive system and a weak conference.

There is now way LBJ would dominate the ball like that playing for hall of famer Phil Jackson.
