As sports fans know, teams that win the championship in most major sports win a ring.
The rings are very valuable since they are given to the members of the organization who helped in one way or another, be it the owner, the board, the coaching staff, or the players, etc.
Now, the NBA is going to do something for the first time at the end of this Summer League.
For the first time in history, the NBA will award rings to the champions of the Summer League.

And of course NBA fans don’t understand why and scoffed at the idea of awarding rings.
This is how the NBA Twitter reacted to the news.

For those who don’t know, Chris Paul hasn’t won a championship. So, he’s still on his quest for his first ring.
But to be honest, this seems like a dumb idea. There’s no point in giving away rings to the champions of the Summer League.
However, we will find out next Sunday which team will be the first to receive these new rings.
