So, the other day I was watching the Knicks play, and Donte DiVincenzo was hitting some shots. It got me thinking, you know, has this guy ever won an NBA title? He’s been on a few teams now, Warriors, Bucks before the Knicks. Sometimes you lose track.
I figured the easiest way to check was just to look it up real quick. Pulled out my phone, opened up a search, and just typed in something simple like “donte divincenzo championship ring”.
Right away, the answer popped up. Yep, he does have one.
Finding the Details
Okay, so he has a ring. My next thought was, who did he win it with? The search results made that clear pretty quick.
- He won it with the Milwaukee Bucks.
- That was back in 2021.
I remember that Bucks team with Giannis finally getting over the hump. DiVincenzo was a starter for them that season, played a solid role. Then I remembered something else… didn’t he get hurt during that playoff run? Yeah, I think that was it. A quick check confirmed it – he injured his ankle in the first round against the Heat and missed the rest of the playoffs, including the Finals. Rough timing for him, but he still got that ring as part of the team.
While I was looking this stuff up, I also saw mentions of his nickname, “Big Ragu”. I’d heard that before. Seems like he got it back in college at Villanova from the announcer Gus Johnson because of his red hair and Italian roots, after hitting a big shot. Kinda stuck with him.
So, yeah, the mystery was solved pretty easily. Donte DiVincenzo is indeed an NBA champion, thanks to his time with the Bucks in 2021, even though he had some bad luck with the injury during the actual Finals run. Always interesting to trace back these players’ paths.
