There was no greater winner in NBA history than the late Bill Russell. Russell won 11 championships as the pillar of the Boston Celtics dynasty in the 1950s and 1960s. Russell won two of his titles as a player-coach. Russell's 11 championships are more than all but two NBA franchises have in their respective histories -- the Celtics have 18, while the Los Angeles Lakers have 17.

Here's a look at the players with the most championships in NBA history:
