Winter Auction 2016 Closing January 30th
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/31/2016
A record-holder for the most NBA teams in a career (12), forward Chucky "Wild Thing" Brown also played in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), and in 1995 he achieved the ultra-rare feat of being a member of the championship teams in both leagues—the Yakima Sun Kings and the Houston Rockets! It was Hakeem and company's second-straight title, and Brown averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds per game during the regular season, then logged 15 minutes per game throughout the postseason.
Manufactured by Intergold, Brown's 14K-gold, size 13 ring is, to our knowledge, the first 1994-95 Rockets player ring ever to surface at auction. Houston's back-to-back supremacy is commemorated by the diamond-studded top design as well as the shank decor of "Believe it Again!" There are also beautiful enamel logos for the Rockets and NBA. NM condition. Accompanied by an engraved wooden "ROCKETS" presentation box (5" x 2-1/2" x 1-3/4") with an interior plaque reading, "Houston Rockets / CLARENCE BROWN / 1995 NBA World Champions." As an interesting side note, Brown (along with Sam Cassell and Robert Horry) was part of the following year's blockbuster trade that brought Charles Barkley to Houston. Comes with LOA from Chucky Brown.
