Bill Russell: 11 NBA Championships

The 1960s Boston Celtics were a legendary squad. In 13 years, Bill Russell guided them to 12 finals and won 11 of those championships. More than anybody else, he had the biggest effect on the club as a defender and shot blocker. Even though he wasn’t the best scorer of all time, he could grab rebounds, and even if his numbers don’t seem fantastic, he made a significant impact on his team’s victories.

Sam Jones: 10 NBA Championships

Sam Jones played for the storied Celtics club in the 1960s as well. He finished his 12-year career with the squad, participating in 11 finals and winning 10 rings. Not only was he a consistent high scorer each year, but he was also the closer. Jones is considered as one of the greatest shooting guards of all time because of his clutch performance.

Tom Heinsohn, K.C. Jones, Tom Sanders, John Havlicek: 8 NBA Championships

During their tenure with the franchise, this group earned eight rings and participated in the Celtics’ success. Heinsohn was a forward who made an impact right away after being selected. Throughout his nine-year NBA career, he was a prolific scorer and consistently earned double digits. The all-time top scorer for the Celtics is Havlicek. Because of his versatility, which allowed him to play both guard and forward, he was extremely essential to the club. Indeed, one of the most memorable events in NBA history is his theft to win the series against the Sixers in the 1970s.

Although his numbers don’t seem remarkable, Jones was one of those players who managed to earn eight rings in nine seasons by making adequate contributions on both the offensive and defensive ends. Known for his defensive and rebounding skills, Tom “Satch” Sanders spent 13 seasons as a member of the Boston Celtics. His numbers don’t even begin to capture the depth of his contributions to that club.

There is no greater feeling than seeing the clock run out and being crowned champion and becoming your team’s all-time great. Winning an NBA title is a difficult journey filled with obstacles.

Although skill plays a major role in championship success, no player can succeed if they are not a strong team player. To perform well and take home one of the most prestigious awards in professional basketball, a player has to possess the ideal combination of abilities.
