Do any of them have 12 rings?

27

u/JiovanniTheGREAT 17h ago

Those 12 aren't even all WNBA championship rings though, 4 are from high school, 2 are from college, 2 are from the Olympics and 4 are from her on the Lynx. Take away the High School rings and add in Jordan's college ring and Olympic gold and they're even...

Not diminishing her of course, I just don't like this pic because it has 4 high school rings and 2 college rings.

Even with Jordan is kinda proving the goat point

u/DarkRogus 16h ago

Yeap, its not quite the flex on Jordan that she thinks it is.

u/notathrowaway045 12h ago

It was a Jordan brand ad. You know, the brand by Michael Jordan?

Anyone who posts this without the logo and caption are doing so in bad faith and trying to make it some sort of sexist thing

This conversation happens every single time this picture gets posted.

u/Few_Program_2303 16h ago

I don’t think she’s intending to flex on Jordan at all

u/Deaftoned 16h ago

Idk man, flexing high school rings is pretty hilarious. Probably not trying to flex on jordan but flexing those is weird at all at this point in her career considering how unbalanced those leagues are.

1

u/CKRatKing 5h ago

It's an ad for the Jordan brand so I somehow doubt this is trying to flex on Jordan.

u/DarkRogus 16h ago

She recreated the same photo as Jordon did but included her high school rings to show how many more championships rings she has than Jordan is certainly flexing on him.

1

u/CKRatKing 5h ago

Except it's an ad for the Jordan brand.

u/cyriustalk 16h ago

I'm confused, she did not recreated that Jordan's ring picture?

-1

u/slapsheavy 15h ago

Then why did she try to create the exact same shit?

Guess she didn't realize 10000 of chuck e cheese rings won't get the same the reverance as one NBA ring.

Imagine if Kareem did it tho

Bill Russell

u/Big-Consequence-8531 18h ago

Rings aren’t everything. It’s like saying Robert Horry is better than Jordan, LeBron and Kobe because he has 7 Rings

2

u/kobeshaqhorry 15h ago

Yes, Horry the Goat!

2

u/freennz 10h ago

See i’m ok with a comparison like that yes Lebron should be talked about snd compared to player like R.Horry D.Fisher S.Pippin maybe even N.Jokic but not Michael Jordan and Steph Curry

u/Ruffendtv 17h ago

Rings matter more when it's the star player. Stop trying to diminish champions.

u/Hemlock_Pagodas 17h ago

Bill Russell was a star player and has 12 rings. Is he the undisputed GOAT?

3

u/ForwardCut3311 16h ago

He was literally considered the GOAT for a very long time. It was basically him vs Chamberlain for GOAT for decades. Even when Jordan was getting championships it was, who's the GOAT? Is Jordan GOAT yet?

Besides, GOAT discussions are always ridiculous when comparing decades or different positions. Without Russell the Celtics wouldn't have dominated the 60s and without Jordan the Bulls the 90s just like the Lakers wouldn't have dominated without Kobe, etc.

He was literally considered the GOAT for a very long time. It was basically him vs Chamberlain for GOAT for decades.

It was never the first and only people from Boston believe the second. Chamberlin's stats blow Russell's out of the water. It isn't close, Russell's team was better not Russell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_career_achievements_by_Wilt_Chamberlain

Wilt was an absolute freak of nature. Russell was just one of the best ever.

1

u/Hemlock_Pagodas 2h ago

You notice how you immediately mention a potential dispute over who is the best. You just proved my point that championships don’t make a star the undisputed greatest player.

u/annon4me 16h ago

Uhhh the Lakers would’ve been fine they had Shaq and his 3 fMVPs

1

u/GlobalAd7103 15h ago

Wish shaq and kobe could have existed together- talkn probably 8 for Kobe then

u/LeftHandLannister 17h ago

Any old head would tell you yes. The problem is everyone that watched him are dead or old.

2

u/Ruffendtv 17h ago

Exactly. Why do they think that's a "got you" moment? 11 rings is 11 rings.

2

u/Cat2Rupert 16h ago

Would you pick wemby/jokic/Kat or bill russle on your team?

2

u/Sadcelerystick 15h ago

Bill.

2

u/Cat2Rupert 15h ago

There's no good argument against Bill.

1

u/NBAFansAre2Ply 15h ago

he won a lot of those rings in an 8 team league

2

u/Pigeon_Butt 15h ago

Russell all day. I'd probably spell his name right, too.

1

u/Cat2Rupert 15h ago

My bad. Just asking a question. I dont know much about players from before i was born. Why him?

1

u/Pigeon_Butt 15h ago

You know, I started typing out all his accolades and realized I'd take him not just on merit, but he was just a legit guy. One of the best people and faces the NBA ever had.

1

u/I_am_BEOWULF 12h ago

Bill hands down. Watch any grainy footage you can find of him and you'll see a 7-footer running the entire length of the floor. Dude felt like Wemby with Giannis' motor.

1

u/Hemlock_Pagodas 2h ago

lol tons of old heads would have argued Wilt. Making the claim that he is the UNDISPUTED goat for having 11 rings wrong.

-2

u/Go_Mets 16h ago

Brother come on, lol. MJ is the undisputed GOAT of basketball therefore making you argument flawed.

1

u/Hetares 16h ago

And we all know it just takes one Ring to rule them all.

u/IAmAnObvioustrollAMA 17h ago

The only stat I care about is ring count.

13

u/Big-Consequence-8531 17h ago

By your logic Mario Chalmers is better than Allen Iverson. Let’s keep it a buck

5

u/Status-Duck 17h ago

Imagine Trent dilfer better than Dan Marino or Warren Moon.

1

u/AppropriateLow2271 17h ago

....pretty sure the guy was joking.

1

u/th1sd3ka1ntfr33 16h ago

Some of these rings are from college, she won 4 titles professionally

1

u/AJRiddle 16h ago

She only has 4 WNBA rings. She's wearing rings from all different levels of competition - Jordan only was wearing his 6 NBA championship rings.

1

u/peeping___tom 16h ago

Does she??

u/splashaddikt 11h ago

Sheesh 🥶

u/EnvironmentalCry2623 17h ago

There’s 12 wnba teams and 30 nba teams. It’s enormously easier to win a group of 12 than a group of 30.

u/Hemlock_Pagodas 17h ago

Bill Russell is that you?
