#9 Julius Erving's 1976 ABA Championship Ring
ABA, the American Basketball Association had merged with the NBA in 1977 but before that Julius Erving played in the ABA for the New Jersey Nets and won 2 Championships with them.
Julius Erving did an online auction in 2011 to get out of some debts and even sold some of his rings which he earned during his basketball career. In the 1976 ABA season, Erving averaged 29.3 points per game and 11.0 rebounds per game. He averaged a massive 34.7 points per games and 12.6 rebounds during the Playoffs which led his team to the Championship.
Usually, NBA stars never sell their championship rings but Erving sold his rings and the 1976 ABA Championship ring earned him $195,000 in an online auction in 2011. Erving's great performance in the 1976 ABA championship surely added to the value of the ring.
