Exclusive Details
Ex-Texas hoops star center Jaxson Hayes got himself a sick pre-Draft gift that would make Homer Simpson proud … immortalizing his “Sideshow Jax” nickname in diamonds with a Sideshow Bob chain!!
TMZ Sports has learned … the projected lottery pick wanted to treat himself before the biggest day of his life … hitting up Al the Jeweler of LaBelle Jewelry in NJ to hook him up with a chain of his Simpsons character Doppelgänger.
Al — the go-to jeweler for huge stars like Jarvis Landry and Stefon Diggs — tells us the one-of-a-kind piece is made of VS diamonds and rubies … and it took 1,000 total stones to make.
No word on how much Hayes dropped for the piece … but we’re told this kinda work would run around $25k.
We’re told Hayes LOVES the piece … and there’s a great chance he might even wear it when his name is called at the draft on Thursday.
Welcome to the league, kid!!
