Despite his success, Tom Brady is not the athlete with the most titles in elite sports in the United States

Seven championships in 10 Super Bowl appearances. That’s the quarterback’s legacy Tom Brady.

Last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, representing the seventh Lombardi trophy for Brady, who as an individual surpasses the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots’ frachies. They each have six.

Brady is alone at the top in terms of football. However, it lags behind other professional athletes who have achieved more championships in their respective team sports in the United States.

Here are the lists of the 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 wins in the NBA Finals Series 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 Canadiens who dominated the NHL in the 1950s and 1960s.

Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics won 11 titles in a 13-year period.
