One more, and he’ll have an entire hand glistening. That’s all Kobe Bryant needs—just one more ring to round out an entire hand. He’s right now in hot pursuit of that fifth piece of jewelry, as his Lakers try to eliminate the Suns in the Western Conference Finals. Perfect timing, then, for this giveaway. Our friends over at The Forest Lab are hooking us up with eight of these “Only Kings Have Rings” shirts featuring Kobe, just for our devoted followers. I’m the furthest thing from a Laker fan, and even I think these are on point. It rhymes, there’s a catchy tagline and the picture is dope. But the timing and the slogan of the tees have gotta make you think about LeBron, and how he still doesn’t have any rings. And he’s the King, right? Nicknames aside, Kobe’s got more than a solid argument when it comes to who holds that crown.
As for you holding one of these tees? All you’ve gotta do is retweet this SLAMonline tweet about this contest anytime between now and when the Lakers-Suns WCF series ends. As I said, this is for devoted followers only, so if you follow us, this should be easy; if not, then start following, retweet, and maybe you’ll be one of the eight randomly selected. For more from The Forest Lab, you can check them out on Twitter or Facebook.
Retweet away and good luck!
