Alex Ducas became the latest Australian to win an NBA championship this week, joining names such as Luc Longley, Patty Mills, and Andrew Bogut.
The rookie was part of the Oklahoma City Thunder squad who took down the Indiana Pacers, delivering a title to the franchise for the first time in history.
Following the hard-fought seven game series win, OKC has elected to honour Ducas and the members of the Thunder title team in a unique way.
