'The one thing I noticed is they're handing out medallions now,' coach Steve Kerr joked. 'They're not rings. They're medallions. I don't know how anybody can put that on their finger.'
It's the first championship ring in all of sports to primarily be made up of yellow diamonds. The 16 carats of yellow and white diamonds represent the Warriors' 16 playoff wins over the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics last summer.
Just like general manager Bob Myers constructing a championship roster, the rings are all about the details. There are seven carats of yellow diamonds to represent the franchise's seven titles, and 43 baguettes in the bridge of the ring, referencing Curry's 43 points on 14-of-26 shooting in Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals.
Twisting the championship ring reveals a secret compartment that includes the number of trophies each player has won. For Thompson, Curry, Green and Iguodala, that number is four. Kevon Looney has three. For youngsters like Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, it's one.
