Point guard Jose Calderon might be eligible for an NBA championship ring after his brief stint with the Golden State Warriors in March.

Before being claimed off wires by the Atlanta Hawks on March 4, Calderon was a member of the Golden State Warriors for two hours on March 1.

USA Today Sports' Sam Amick reported Calderon earned $415,000 during his two hours as a Warrior and already had jerseys made up with his name and number before he was released for the signing of forward Matt Barnes.

Calderon averaged 3.4 points per game and 2.1 assists per game during the 2016 regular season with the Hawks.
