No need to be ashamed, I'm currently doing the exact same.

So amazing to see Dirk, JKidd, Matrix, JET and Peja get their rings.

Just a terrific product. $50 well spent. Much better than the championship DVD (which I also liked).

Just ordered, on your strong recommendation. Only had to pay $45, even though I'm not prime (at least, I don't think I am), and free shipping. Score!

Dude, it'd be so sick to be able to buy a replica of the ring, those things are flat out gorgeous!

Jostens did have a booth at the AAC last night with the jewelry line. It was too packed to get to. Hopefully Friday I can take a look at it. 40k is a little outta my price range however.

* 10.00 total karats
* 91.7 grams (total ring weight)
* The Mavs logo is on top set against a custom blue stone encircled by 31 princess cut diamonds, one for each year of the organization.
* The top features "World Champions" flanked by a 10 round cut diamonds.
* The players name and number are on side A along with the NBA logo and one diamond star signifying the first title for the Mavs. The secondary logo is set with another custom blue stone inside a basketball. The 'M' is emblazoned with 15 diamonds to represent the 15 members of the championship team.
* Side B incorporates "Dallas Mavericks" along with the team's postseason motto, "The Time is Now," engraved in a banner behind the Larry O'Brien trophy. Round diamonds fill the trophy flanked by 2011.
* Inside the band is the original Mavs team logo in honor of the first owner, Donald Carter, in addition to the results of the four playoff series.

Haha for sure, that's way too pricey. I meant like a ring that looks similar, but isn't real. Like just a cool momento/collectible for us fans.

I may be screwed based on my amount of tweets, but does anyone know a good, quick way to go way back to find my pictures that I tweeted out during the playoffs?

Huh? I thought they'd get their rings here in Dallas...
Does that make Stevenson the only one left to get a ring? When/where does that happen?

I think you read that wrong. Tyson doesn't have his ring yet as far as I know.
New Jersey and New York are both scheduled to come to Dallas. We don't play Toronto again this season, so the Mavs probably arranged for Tyson to do it so Casey could receive it from a fellow Mavs champion.
Pretty cool.

I have noticed many on the team doing the Peja Serbian three-finger salute lately? BG is this intentional by the team? I've seen the dirkster, Lamar and I think jet do it.

It's just become natural for them to do it now. There's no real rhyme or reason.
If you guys do have questions like this, I'd advise you to PM me your question. I really don't have as much time to look through each individual thread and comment. Sorry if I've missed other questions.

How an NBA championship ring is made
Really interesting and lots of ring eye-candy.
