After playing guard for the ABA's San Antonio Spurs from 1973-1978, George Karl went on to a successful coaching career. With over 700 wins, he is the 13th winningest coach in NBA history. This is George Karl's NBA player's ring, cast in 10K yellow gold and measuring a size 14-1/2. On the top perimeter of the ring is "National Basketball Association, NBA" in relief on a black background. In the center is a red stone background onto which has been set a round diamond in a gold setting. Around the center red stone are 23 round diamond chips with one missing (there were 24 originally). On the right shank is an engraved gold banner in relief on a black background with the player name "George Karl." Beneath this is an engraved gold basketball with the player number "22," and beneath this is another engraved gold banner in relief that reads "1973-1978." On the left shank is the NBA logo with laurels in relief. On the inside is stamped "10K" and "Seboo." Ring shows light wear and is in overall EX-MT condition.
