Horace Grant’s Bulls championship rings could sell for over $100K

Horace Grant’s Bulls championship rings are expected to sell for over $100k each at Heritage Auctions. Grant won the rings with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and the rest of the Bulls in their first 3-peat in 1991, 1992 and 1993.

His last name is ingrained on the band of each ring. Along with the team’s record, the year the Bulls won the championship is also featured on one of the sides. On the right shank of the 1993 ring, “World Champions 1993” and “3-peat” are visible.

All rings are size 12 and have “14k Jostens” on the interior bands. The 1993 ring is arguably the most valuable of the three NBA rings because Jordan announced his retirement later that year on Oct. 6.

Additionally, Grant’s 2001 championship ring he won with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers is expected to sell for at least $40k.
