Artest says initial plans are to make it a raffle auction so fans everywhere will have a chance to end up with the ring. He says some celebrities and investors have offered him between $50,000 and $100,000 for the ring.
During an interview after the Lakers clinched the title with a Game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics in June, Artest thanked his psychiatrist for helping him relax during the playoffs.
Artest was in San Diego to promote an exhibition game against the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 21.
