Perhaps one of the more impressive things about what the Bulls' dynasty has done is make winning titles look so easy. In none of their six NBA Finals did the Bulls ever have to play seven games. Jordan and Pippen combined have won 12 titles. To put that in perspective, the great Lakers forward Elgin Baylor, who played in 14 NBA seasons and who averaged 27.4 PPG and 13.5 rebounds in his career, never won an NBA crown.

Here's a look at the number of championships of some stars:
