Bill Russell’s 11 NBA Championship Rings

Bill Russell’s 11 NBA championships remain unmatched. However, he didn’t receive 11 rings; the Celtics stopped issuing them after a few titles. Instead, he received items like watches and TV consoles. Only his first and last rings were sold at auction.

A.C. Green holds the NBA record for most consecutive games played: 1,192 from 1986 to 2001. This remarkable streak showcases his durability and consistency, making him the NBA’s “Iron Man.” His record remains unchallenged, even in today’s era of advanced player management.

That’s right. John Stockton has two unbreakable records: most career assists with 15,806 and most career steals with 3,265. His longevity and exceptional court vision, combined with playing in a pass-heavy system, solidified his position as the all-time leader in assists. Chris Paul is second with 12,385 assists, making Stockton’s record untouchable. As far as steals? Second place goes to the winding-down Paul who has 2,699 thefts.

He achieved this feat with the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks, scoring 36 field goals and 28 free throws in a 169–147 win. The late, great Kobe Bryant is second with an incredible 81 points in 2006, but this is the one that will stand the test of time. Nobody’s scoring 100 points in a game from here on out.
