Sights and Sounds of Warriors 2022-23 Championship Ring Night

After months of anticipation, the moment all of Dub Nation had been waiting for arrived on Tuesday night as the Warriors celebrated their Championship Ring Night, presented by Chase Freedom, to tip off the 2022-23 NBA season. 

Chase Center was filled with excitement and energy as the squad took to their home floor for the season opener and witness the Dubs receive their 2022 NBA Championship rings.

The Warriors arrived on scene dressed to impress, as the 2022 defending champions prepared to add another piece of jewelry to their collection. 

Dub Nation came out in full force and anticipation filled the Thrive City plaza as the Chase Center doors opened to tip off the very first game of the Warriors’ 2022-23 campaign. 

As part of the Championship Ring Night, presented by Chase Freedom, fans were able to take part in an augmented reality (AR) experience to virtually wear the Warriors four championship rings won over the course of the last eight seasons. 

Upon arriving at their seats, Dub Nation was greeted by a special surprise, as all 18,064 seats in Chase Center were draped with 2022-23 Championship Ring Night t-shirts, presented by Chase.

Former Dub and current Los Angeles Laker Juan Toscano-Anderson reconnected with Warriors teammates during pregame warm-ups.

After the ringing of the inaugural Chase Center bell, it was time for the Dubs to take centerstage. 

Ahead of the pregame ring presentation ceremony, players and descendants of players from each of the Warriors’ six previous franchise title wins were formally introduced. 

One by one, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver along with Warriors co-executive chairmen Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, presented the 2021-22 Dubs with their 2022 NBA Championship rings in front of a roaring Chase Center crowd.  

“Resiliency is what defines the Golden State Warriors,” the NBA commissioner stated. 

“It was amazing. I've been excited all day. It was hard for me to sleep last night thinking about today. Having all my family here to be here and enjoy the moment with me. It was a dream come true.” Andrew Wiggins shared after he received his first NBA championship ring.

Splash Brothers Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry took the mic to thank the Chase Center crowd for their continued support, with the 2022 NBA Finals MVP taking a moment to recognize WNBA star Brittney Griner who has spent 243 days detained overseas. 

The 2022 NBA Champions were met with dynamic applause from Dub Nation as the 2021-22 championship banner was risen to the rafters at Chase Center for the very first time. 

Chase Center glittered in blue and gold as the 2022 defending champions showed off their one of a kind, diamond-clad rings crafted by Jason of Beverly Hills.

Dub Nation continued to keep the energy high throughout the night as they celebrated the Warriors’ monumental achievement. 

Then, the games began as the Warriors closed out an electrifying a 123-109 home opening victory over the Los Angeles Lakers to tip off the first game of the 2022-23 campaign.

It was undoubtedly a memorable night in Warriors franchise history as the defending NBA champions opened the 2022-23 season at Chase Center on the highest of notes, signifying that the Dubs basketball is officially back.
