Bill Russell

The greatest winner in NBA history, Russell captured 11 championships in 13 seasons with the Boston Celtics, an unmatched team-sport record that outperforms Michael Jordan's 6 titles by 5 rings. A 5-time MVP and defensive anchor who averaged 22.5 rebounds per game, he redefined what it meant to be a winning center, with his rebounding average exceeding the typical center's 8.5 RPG by 164%.
