Behind a potent scoring offense, the 1987-88 Los Angeles Lakers finished the regular season with a record of 62-20. Head coach Pat Riley had more than enough options, with Magic Johnson (19.6 points per game), James Worthy (19.7 PPG) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (14.6 PPG) all capable of carrying the team. Even with those Hall of Famers on the roster, it was Byron Scott (21.7 PPG) who led the team in scoring. After sweeping the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, the remainder of the postseason would test the fortitude of the defending-champion Lakers. Los Angeles was pushed to the max in consecutive seven-game series victories over the Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks to reach the NBA Finals. There, the Lakers would once again survive in seven games - this time over the Detroit Pistons - to repeat as NBA champions.

Offered here is the Balfour 14K gold 1988 Los Angeles Lakers NBA championship player’s ring presented to small forward on the 1988 team Tony Campbell. Campbell, who was in his fourth season out of Ohio State, was limited to only 13 games, but in those games averaged 11.0 points per game. This ring features a larger round diamond set on a purple face, with 18 smaller diamonds going around it. Please note that the center diamond is slightly loose, but still fully intact. “WORLD CHAMPION LAKERS 1988” reads in relief work. An enamel-filled Lakers team logo centers one side of the ring, with “CAMPBELL” above it and “LAKERS 4 PISTONS 3” below. “BACK TO BACK” appears on the opposite side, above an NBA league logo finished with enamel. “1987” is shown to the left of the NBA logo, with the year “1988” to the right. Inside the band is marked “© 14K”. This ring is a size 12 and weighs approximately 41.50 grams. This ring is in good condition.
