Ex-Bull Randy Brown Files Bankruptcy, Selling Championship Rings
Posted on April 29th, 2009 by Mike under NBA, if you had money
The “repeat the three-peat” wins of the NBA finals of ‘96, ‘97, and ‘98 created a cadre of basketball superstars and characters and set the bar at a new high for the next generation of players. Now a little piece of that victory is up on the auction block. In a testament to the far reach of the recession, former Bulls guard and assistant coach to the Sacramento Kings, Randy Brown, has declared bankruptcy, and his three championship rings will be for sale to the highest bidder via online auction at WestAuction.com.
Auction is set to start May 19, bid for a ring starts at $19,000.
Wow, that is truly unfortunate news.
I haven’t worked as hard, and definitely never will, for anything in my life as hard as that guy probably worked to get three NBA titles. Would love to see this story play out where a 90’s era Bulls PR guy or Accounts Payable guy who snagged a ring by being part of the association turns one over to Brown.
Could happen, right? After all, we’ve got 284 people (who presumably weren’t players) selling various Championship rings on Ebay right now. (via SportsCollectorsDaily.com)
