List of NBA players with most championships
Bill Russell won 11 championships with the Boston Celtics , an NBA record.
The following is a list of National Basketball Association (NBA) players who won the most championships.
The NBA is a major professional basketball league in North America. It was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).[1] The league adopted its current name at the start of the 1949–50 season when it merged with the National Basketball League (NBL).[2] The NBA Finals is the championship series for the NBA and the conclusion of the sport's postseason . The winning team of the series receives the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy . Players from the winning team usually receive championship rings from the team honoring their contribution, with "rings" becoming shorthand for championships.[3] The number of championships won by NBA superstars is often used as a measurement of their greatness.[4]
Boston Celtics center Bill Russell holds the record for the most NBA championships won with 11 titles during his 13-year playing career.[5]
As of 2020, Robert Horry , John Salley , LeBron James and Danny Green are the only players to have won championships with three different teams.[6]
