Championship rings.
They are why every professional basketball gets out of bed in the morning.
Whether training early in the day or grinding late in Game 7 of the Finals, these gaudy jewelry pieces are the prize at the end of the marathon.
However, as basketball is a zero-sum game, only a limited number of champions are minted every season, with some superstars going their entire careers without tasting the ultimate success.
On the other hand, the names on this list made a habit of winning at the business end of the season.
From a big man in Boston to the GOAT in the Windy City, here is the full list of NBA players to have won at least six championship rings.
