Just to clarify, Balfour was the lead company in securing the Boston Celtics Championship ring. Balfour and Intergold have a marketing relationship that is raising the bar in Championship and Fan jewelery and mementos.

QUOTE – “K Dizzle says: It’s made in Canada? Damn”

What does it matter? You don’t think Canada is capable of making a decent ring? Look at the pictures buddy, they speak for themselves.

The ring is amazing. The fact that it is made in Canada by the best championship ring company, Intergold tells us the Celtics demand the best.
As far as World Champions…..Yes the NBA is the Best basketball league in the world (has nothing to do with U.S. Pride!) Therefore World Champions is the best description.

If you are an elite baskeball you go to college in the US and you play in the NBA. If you play in Europe because you are not good enough for the NBA.

I’m with Celts Fan…The best players from the best teams around the world come to play in the NBA. So in essence it’s comprised of the best of the best no matter what country. The only good players that do not come over are the ones who make too much money overseas or game doesn’t translate well into the NBA style. But these players are few and far between.

Ok so no game played but you’re sure AC Milan or the Celtics can beat everyone ?

I think they could (for the Celtics and in June 2008) but until a game or a serie was actually played I wasn’t sure.

AS for AC Milan : it was in 2006/2007 but they where UEFA Champions League champs, not world champs.
Who are you to say a club not eligible to the competition couldn’t beat them ?

The problem is : official instances and US medias call NBA champs world champs, that’s the true problem and it’s disrespect for the other clubs.

If everybody knows the NBA is the best league why bother by calling the champs world champs ?
To assess yourselves perhaps ?

And just to taunt a little bit : do you think the US team crushed Spain in the Olympic final ? A Spanish team with one of its bests players injured ?
I don’t think so.

PS : I really think NBA is the best league and US players the bests but the point is respect, and calling the champs of a “country league” world champs is just pure disrespect.

Here’s the deal, best team in the best league in the World = world champs. When AC Milan took the Champions League, they were world champs. Until basketball and baseball start a Champions League like soccer (which would be AMAZING btw, don’t know what the hold up is) you have to give it to the best team in the best league, and with all due respect, no European guy has ever been the best player on a title team and Josh Childress is looking like a superduper star over there, so don’t tell me Macabi Tel Aviv could beat the Celtics or any NBA champ. No offense fellas, trust me, I know AC Milan would probably hang 30 on the Houston Dynamo, but the best league in the world is the NBA right? That’s why guys leave their homes to, in their own words, “play with the best players inthe world in the best league in the world.” So after saying yes, why wouldn’t the NBA champ be the world champ til we get a format where we can settle it on the court? Anyone honestly think a Euro-League team could beat the Celtics, the ’07 Spurs, or the ’06 Heat? Didn’t think so.

I wish we had a legit champion’s league so we could settle this on the court like they do with soccer, but til we do, you gotta give it to the NBA team. That’s not an American slant on it, that’s just being real…

Poor bastards thinking they’re the center of the world.

You just politely tell them Fab but they think they now better…

Really, what can the world be when you got so many fuckers thinking like this ?

Geez, their dow jones isn’t telling them they should just think they’re not always the best ??

You could tell me it’s nothing but replace US Champions by World Champions is a huge leap when you don’t play against them.

Guys like you let strangers think americans are really self-centered but I bet it’s only a part of the population who is like this cause like everywhere everything can’t be plain wrong.
