The Boston Celtics achieved a historic milestone by winning their NBA-record 18th championship on June 17, marking a triumphant return to glory for the storied franchise. Celebrations ensued shortly after with a victory parade in Boston, where Celtics star Jaylen Brown encountered an unexpected twist.
During the festive parade, Brown unfortunately misplaced one of his cherished possessions: a custom-made ring adorned with the inscription “7uice.” Immediately realizing the loss, Brown turned to social media, seeking the public’s help in locating his prized ring while offering a substantial reward to incentivize its return.
On Tuesday, in a heartening turn of events, Brown shared a photo on social media holding the once-lost ring, expressing his gratitude to two diligent fans, Luke and Adi, who successfully retrieved it. True to his word, Brown announced that the devoted duo would be honored guests at the Celtics’ upcoming NBA championship ring ceremony scheduled for the fall.

“Got it back. Thank you to Luke and Adi I’ll see you courtside at the 💍 ceremony,” Brown joyfully exclaimed on X, alongside the image of his recovered ring.
In a further display of appreciation, Brown also posted a video on his Instagram account capturing the moment he met with Luke and Adi. During their encounter, Brown generously gifted them with a personalized jersey and an autographed basketball, ensuring their act of kindness was met with heartfelt recognition.
The Celtics’ eagerly anticipated ring ceremony is slated to take place during the 2024-25 season’s home opener in October, although the exact date remains pending official announcement. This ceremonial event will commemorate the team’s remarkable championship victory and provide players, staff, and fans alike with a tangible symbol of their collective triumph.

Meanwhile, Brown’s teammate and fellow Celtics star Jayson Tatum played a pivotal role in securing Boston’s championship title, delivering a stellar performance in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. Tatum’s standout game, where he scored 31 points, propelled the Celtics to a decisive 106-88 victory, clinching the championship.
Adding to the Celtics’ momentous offseason, Tatum recently finalized a groundbreaking five-year, $314 million contract extension, solidifying his position with the team and setting a new benchmark as the most lucrative deal in NBA history, as reported by ESPN.
