Kobe Bryant's 2000 Championship Ring Sets Record with $927K Auction Sale

The ring, once gifted to his father Joe Bryant, breaks the record for the highest sale price of an NBA title ring amid discussions on sports memorabilia legacy.

Kobe Bryant's 2000 NBA Championship ring, gifted to his father Joe Bryant, has sold at auction for a record $927,200, breaking the previous record for an NBA title ring.
The ring was sold by Goldin Auctions, marking the third time it has been auctioned since it was first sold by Bryant's parents in 2013.
The sale has stirred controversy and discussions about the legacy and ownership of sports memorabilia, with the identity of the new owner remaining undisclosed.
Kobe Bryant had previously sued his parents in 2013 for attempting to sell the ring and other memorabilia without his permission.
The ring features 40 diamonds set on 14-karat gold and commemorates the Lakers' 2000 championship victory, Bryant's first of five titles with the team.
