The NBA championship is the career pinnacle for most professional basketball players. Inside that club, there are a select few players that have won multiple championships.
Only an exclusive group of NBA players can say they’ve won at least three titles in a row.
Not surprisingly, pretty much all of these unique players were part of dynastic teams in Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles.
