Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brunson found the custom ring he lost at their championship parade on June 21.
Days after being crowned the NBA Finals MVP, the 27-year-old lost his '7uice' ring as they celebrated a gentlemen's sweep over the Dallas Mavericks to get Boston its 18th banner.
After the parade, Brown posted about his missing ring and promised a 'big reward' for whoever returns it to him. Low and behold, he regained possession of the piece on July 2.
As for the fans who returned it, they will have the best seat in the house when Brown receives another ring commemorating his first title on opening night next season.
'Got it back,' Brown captioned a picture of his '7uice' ring on X. 'Thank you to Luke and Adi I'll see you courtside at the [ring emoji] ceremony.
Brown also posted a the video of him meeting the fans on his Instagram. After Luke and Adi handed the ring to Brown's friend, the Celtics guard stepped out of an SUV to thank them personally.
The former Berkley star wore a hoodie and sunglasses and asked the fans not to be loud as he handed them gifts to express his gratitude on Causeway Street in Boston.
'We really just wanted you to have it back,' Adi tells Brown as he handed them a signed ball and jersey. Brown also appears to hand them an envelope, which Luke refused to take at first.
'You should re-invest it in the community or something,' he tells Brown.
'That's for you,' Brown responds. 'Hey, one act of kindness is what we need. So we appreciate it.'
'You sure?' the fan asked before Brown replied: 'Positive.' Brown then posed with the fans for a picture, flashing his ring to the camera.
Brown proved worthy of his five-year, $304million supermax extension with the Celtics in 2023 by averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists against the Mavericks.
While teams have been busy during free agency, the Celtics have been focused on keeping key pieces to their championship roster.
Jayson Tatum signed a record $314m, five-year extension, with a player option on July 1. Meanwhile, two-way wing Derrick White, who chipped his tooth in the Finals for the Celtics' sake, netted a four-year, $125.9 extension.
