Laker Victory . . . For Sale?
June 21, 2009
On June 14, 2009 The Los Angeles Lakers became NBA champions for the 15th time in franchise history. During their victory parade, they proudly showed off their shiny golden trophy. Manufactured by the Tiffany & Co. Sliver Shop, the trophy is composed of 14.5 pounds of sterling silver and is coated in 24 carat gold. Cash4Gold, a popular place to sell unwanted gold items suggested that the team send in the coveted prize in exchange for funds which could off-set the cost of the multi-million dollar parade. It has been said that it may fetch only a paltry $3,500. Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson understands that the Lakers may not take him up on his offer . . . and they didn’t.
In the playoffs, the Lakers were a sight to behold
And they left the Orlando Magic out in the cold
The champions are full of mirth
But what’s their trophy worth?
Thirty-five hundred dollars if you ask Cash4Gold
