The talented champions are rewarded with the distinction of being the best team in the league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lucky handful of people know what it\u2019s like to win multiple NBA titles as both a player and a coach. The following six men have won the most championships as both a player and a coach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pat-riley-7-championships\">Pat Riley: 7 championships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Happy Birthday Pat Riley <br><br>Pat&#39;s Championships:<br>Head Coach: 5<br>Executive: 3<br>Assistant Coach: 1<br>Player: 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zrWFNJo2mA\">pic.twitter.com\/zrWFNJo2mA<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ballislife.com (@Ballislife) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ballislife\/status\/1240981394265903105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 20, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat Riley is one of the most respected basketball minds in NBA history, and we\u2019re not even including the two titles he earned as a long-tenured executive with the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his playing days from 1967\u201376, the shooting guard won the 1972 NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers. After a trade, Riley played one season for the Phoenix Suns before retiring. He accepted a position with the Lakers as an assistant coach for the 1979-80 season. The team won the 1980 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Riley holding the clipboard, the Showtime Lakers enjoyed excellent offensive play and featured several Hall of Fame players on the roster, like Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, during this time. <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/pat-rileys-1st-day-lakers-head-coach-definition-awkward\/\">Riley led the Lakers<\/a> to five more NBA titles (1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, and 2006), bringing his title as a player and a coach to seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steve-kerr-8-nba-championships\">Steve Kerr: 8 NBA championships <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Head-Coach-Steve-Kerr-Golden-State-Warriors-2018-NBA-Championship.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=683&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"Head Coach Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors greets the crowd during the 2018 NBA Championship Victory Parade\" class=\"wp-image-1513177\" width=\"1200\" height=\"560\"\/><figcaption>Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr during the 2018 NBA Championship Victory Parade | Philip Pacheco\/Anadolu Agency\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Kerr was an important part of the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the '90s. The point guard helped the team secure three NBA titles, 1996<meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u201398, in the Windy City. Alongside Michael Jordan and company, Kerr played an especially notable part in the 1997 championship against the Utah Jazz, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kerrst01.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Basketball Reference<\/a> reports. He made the title-winning basket in the last seconds of Game 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1999, Kerr was traded to San Antonio Spurs just as the team broke out. With the Spurs, he won the 1999 NBA Championship as well as the 2003 title. After time with the Portland Trail Blazers and a return to San Antonio, Kerr retired in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Kerr <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/how-many-nba-championships-have-golden-state-warriors-won\/\">coaches another NBA dynasty<\/a>. Despite some obstacles, the Golden State Warriors have been a consistent force under his watch. Kerr's Warriors have won the 2015, 2017, and 2018 NBA Championships, coming close to the finals in 2019. Now competing in a seventh NBA Finals, Golden State hopes to win out over the Boston Celtics for the 2022 title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tommy-heinsohn-10-nba-championships\">Tommy Heinsohn: 10 NBA championships <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Celtics great Tommy Heinsohn has died at age 86. <br><br>\u2618\ufe0f 10x NBA Champion<br>\u2618\ufe0f 6x NBA All-Star<br>\u2618\ufe0f 1x Coach of the Year<br>\u2618\ufe0f 1957 Rookie of the Year<br>\u2618\ufe0f 4x All-NBA<br>\u2618\ufe0f 2x NCAA All-American<br>\u2618\ufe0f Naismith HOFer as a player &amp; coach<br><br>The legend played a part in each of the Celtics&#39; 17 titles \ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mS3Dlkxtfz\">pic.twitter.com\/mS3Dlkxtfz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1326260949775486976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 10, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Power forward Tommy Heinsohn won his first NBA championship with the Celtics in 1957.

Also as an assistant coach, he won the 1981 NBA title with his Boston Celtics. In 1983, Jones became head coach of the Celtics. He won two more titles with teams <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/how-many-nba-championships-did-larry-bird-win\/\">led by Larry Bird<\/a> in 1984 and 1986. Jones retired in 1988.
