It pays to play with guys named Russell and Jordan. Boston's Bill Russell is the only man in NBA history with more NBA titles (11) than fingers. Sam Jones, Russell's teammate of 12 seasons, has 10 rings of his own. To put that in perspective, that's 10 more than Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor.

Russell & Sam Jones, Celtics      20 
Russell & K.C. Jones, Celtics     16
