11 NBA championships.

Eleven!
I remember him and Bob Cousy as teammates on those Celtics teams, and him coaching the Celtics to a couple of titles as a player/coach. Unfortunate that he supported Kapernick later in his life, IMHO.

As far as the 11 titles go, the league wasn't nearly as competitive then. Celtics, Lakers and Warriors were the dominant teams. Wilt was his only real competition at center. Different era for sure, but he was clearly the greatest center of his era up until Wilt.
