Professional athletes make the kind of money most people can only dream about, and NBA players are near the top of that list. Between max contracts, endorsement deals, signature sneakers and outside business ventures, the league’s biggest stars can build fortunes before they even hit 30. Naturally, some of that money eventually finds its way toward a few purchases that would make the average person’s bank account start sweating.
Cars and massive homes are always popular, but jewelry has become just as much a part of NBA culture. Players have been rocking pricey jewelry like diamond chains, watches, earrings and grills for decades, with the prices seemingly getting bigger, louder and more personalized every year. In many ways, the jewelry has become another extension of a player’s personality, not much different from the pregame tunnel fits that turned NBA arenas into unofficial fashion runways.
And the league’s relationship with jewelry goes well beyond simply buying the most expensive thing in the store. Some players commission completely one-of-one pieces built around their nicknames, jersey numbers, family members or personal logos. Celebrity jewelers like Jason of Beverly Hills, Icebox, Johnny Dang and others have practically become part of the NBA ecosystem, creating pieces specifically for players with enough disposable income to tell them to go crazy.
That brings us to Ja Morant. The two-time All-Star celebrated his 27th birthday on August 10 and apparently decided a regular birthday gift wasn’t going to cut it. Morant showed off a $250,000 GIA-certified diamond chandelier grill, instantly giving NBA fans another ridiculous piece of jewelry to talk about. Morant is far from alone, though.
From chains with moving parts to six-figure watches and insanely big diamond pendants, here are some of the most insane pieces of jewelry NBA stars have worn.
Ja Morant — $250,000 Diamond Chandelier Grill
Ja already had a serious jewelry collection before his latest purchase, including an Icebox logo pendant with more than 32 carats of diamonds and multiple matching diamond chains. But his 27th birthday grill may have topped it all. The chandelier-style set is reportedly GIA certified and valued at $250,000, which is a wild amount of money to have sitting directly on your teeth.
