This is a genuine 1970 Knicks NBA Championship ring with display box, originally belonging to Knicks executive Enos Curtain. Crafted by Balfour in 14k yellow gold with a centrally mounted diamond, this ring was made to the exact same specifications as those presented to the players and coaches who made history that spring. Executive rings from championship teams of this era are particularly scarce as the organization issued a tightly limited number, and fewer still have survived in private hands over the past five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Auction comp callout box --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fffbf0; border-left: 4px solid #c8940a; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #7a5800; margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eWhat these rings sell for at auction\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0;\"\u003eThe market has spoken clearly on 1970 Knicks championship rings. The ring issued to legendary head coach Red Holzman sold at SCP Auctions for $107,482 — a testament to how seriously the collector community values pieces from this championship. Rings from this era were issued to a very limited number of recipients, far fewer than modern championship rings, which makes them exceptionally rare on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe 1969–70 Knicks were one of the great teams in NBA history. They set a then record 18-game winning streak during the regular season on their way to a 60–22 record. In the NBA Finals they faced the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers featuring Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor — in a seven-game series that produced one of the most iconic moments in sports history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Willis Reed callout box --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fffbf0; border-left: 4px solid #c8940a; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; color: #7a5800; margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eThe moment that defined the championship\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; margin: 0;\"\u003eGame 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Willis Reed, the Knicks' captain and center, had torn a muscle in his thigh in Game 5 and was not expected to play. As the teams warmed up for the deciding game at Madison Square Garden, Reed limped out of the tunnel. The crowd erupted. The Lakers froze. Reed scored the first two baskets of the game, Walt Frazier poured in 36 points, and the Knicks won 113–99 to claim their first-ever NBA title. It is considered one of the most dramatic moments in the history of professional basketball. This ring commemorates that night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003eThe Knicks have not won an NBA Championship since 1973.
