Jerry Colangelo's 2008 Olympic gold medal ring

What you see above is Colangelo's Olympic championship ring that he received after Team USA took home the gold medal in Beijing. It's enormous, it's covered in diamonds and everybody associated with the 2008 team got one. Players, coaches, executives — basically everyone except livebloggers.

If you're trying to figure out just how gigantic this ring is, consider that Colangelo is a normal-sized guy with some serious meathooks for hands. For a ring to look that big, it's got to be seriously huge. Trust me, it is. Via Ball Don't Lie
