Seven championships in 10 Super Bowl appearances. This is the legacy of the defender Tom Brady.
Last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, representing the seventh Lombardi trophy for Brady, who, as an individual, surpasses the French Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. They have six.
Brady is just at the top when it comes to football. However, it does not compete with other professional athletes who have accumulated several championships in their respective team sports in the United States.
Here are the lists of athletes with the highest number of championships in the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB.
11 championships
Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics (NBA) and Henri Richard of the Montreal Canadiens (NHL) have won 11 championships. Russell led the Celtics to eight straight NBA Finals victories from 1959 to 1966. He retired in 1969 after defeating the Lakers in seven games. It was his eleventh championship in 13 seasons.
Richard was a member of the Canadian who dominated the NHL in the 1950s and 1960s.
