Despite his success, Tom Brady is not the athlete with the most titles won in professional sports in the United States

Seven championships in 10 Super Bowl appearances. This is the legacy of the quarterback Tom Brady.

Last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, representing the seventh Lombardi Trophy for Brady, who as an individual overcomes the frailties of the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots, who have six each.

Brady finds himself alone at the top, in terms of American football. However, it falls short compared to other professional athletes who amassed more championships in their respective team sports in the United States.

Below are the lists of the athletes with the highest number of championships in the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB.

11 championships

Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics (NBA) and Henri Richard of the Montreal Canadiens (NHL) won 11 championships. Russell led the Celtics to eight straight wins in the NBA Finals Series from 1959 to 1966. He retired in 1969 after beating the Lakers in seven games. It was his eleventh championship in 13 seasons.

Richard was a member of the Canadians who dominated the NHL in the 1950s and 1960s.
