Players with the most championships in NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB
The world lost a great winner and civil rights icon Sunday when it was announced that Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell had died peacefully at the age of 88.
Russell is, quite simply, the greatest winner in NBA history and arguably in all of team sports. Before his legendary NBA career in which he won a record 11 championships, went 10-0 in Game 7s and won five league MVP awards, Russell won two state titles at McClymonds High School in Oakland and another pair of NCAA championships with the San Francisco Dons.
He also was a leader in the fight for social justice and racial equality and made an enormous difference on and off the basketball court.
