One of those rings he received as an assistant coach when the Pat Riley-led Heat beat the Mavericks in six games in 2006. The two others are from his victories as head coach when the Heat won back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n<p>However, Spoelstra has now debuted new jewelry but not what you would expect. During Friday&#8217;s practice, he showed off his new shiny necklace made by his youngest son.
