All throughout the 2019 NBA Championships, Drake was going super hard for his hometown team, even going so far as to claim to be an unofficial team member. Now, all the hard work that went into the Toronto Raptors winning the championship is in Drake’s hands…literally.
After months of waiting and anticipating, the rings for winning the 2018-2019 NBA Championships have finally arrived—and Drake couldn’t wait to get on social media and show his off for fans to see. He modeled three massive rings draped in gold and adorned with several diamonds.
The Raptors were given their rings earlier this week, just before their season-opener against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Scotiabank Arena. The rings are described as the “biggest championship rings in NBA history”, including 650 diamonds and 16 rubies that represent “the number of playoff victories required to win the title.” The rings also feature a depiction of the Toronto Skyline, the Scotiabank Arena, and the team’s famous Chevron logo.

If you’re wondering just how much Drake’s ring is worth, Jason of Beverly Hills founder Jason Arasheben, estimates that the ring is at valued at over $150,000. “This was a championship that was dear to his heart,” Arasheben said. “He wanted to create an over the top ring that not only paid homage to his city but that made a statement above and beyond anything else in history.”
A representative for the jeweler who made the ring, which Drake designed, has over 30 carats of diamonds, meaning it has more than any design in NBA championship ring history.
