For the young NBA fans who think there wasn't life before Michael Jordan, here is the list with players with at least 5 championship rings.
Bill Russell has more rings than fingers to wear them and is at the top of the list with the 11 titles he won in the golden era of the Boston Celtics. As a fact, the top spots are dominated by Celtics players from those years but Russell is the only one who was member of all those championship teams.
Robert Horry is the only player in this list who won championships with 3 different teams.
Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant are the most recent members of this exclusive group and they are also the only active players here.
