Bill Russell is the Boston Celtics' center. Bill Russell owns the record for the most NBA championships won, with 11 in his 13-year career. He also holds the record for the most consecutive title games lost, with 12 between 1955 and 1967. The list of players who have won multiple championships is very exclusive; only 14 men have done so, including Russell.
The question "Who has the most NBA championship rings?" has been asked by many fans. The answer is simple: Bill Russell. With 11 titles, he is one ring away from tying the legendary Wilt Chamberlain for most championships in NBA history. Only five people have won more championships than Russell (Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Wilt Chamberlain).
In 2013, after losing to the Miami Heat in six games, Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said that winning a twelfth championship was not enough to make Russell happy. "He wanted more," Grousbeck said. "We didn't feel like we played well enough to win." However, once Russell retired, Grousbeck changed his mind and decided to give him his 12th ring after all.
Russell was born on January 26, 1922 in Charleston, South Carolina.
