I think championships are way overrated, and I can't stand when someone mention championships when it comes to comparing players. Because every player doesn't get the same opportunity to play along side other good players. I think we as fans get to caught up on winning teams and forget about someones talent has an individual. Since someone have more titles doesn't mean they're better then the other guy. It just means the that guy with the titles was fortunate enough to play on a championship franchise(right place & right time).
Example:
Horry's 6 rings to Bird's 3, who's better?(Bird)
Sally's 4 or 5 ring's to Ewing's 0, who's better?(Ewing)
Kobe's 3 rings to Wade's 1, who's better?(Wade)
Russell's 11 ring to MJ's 6, who's bettter?(MJ)
H. Grant's 4 or 5 rings to Barkey's 0, who's better(Sir)
Haslem's 1 ring to Malone's 0, who's better?(Malone)
Pippen's 6 rings to Dr J's 1, who's better?(Dr.J)
Longley's 3 rings to Hakeem's 2, who's better?(Hakeem)
See my point!
OVERRATED!

Sine when was Wade better than Kobe? Kobe has been in the league longer and is a much better player. I also think that Pippen is better than Dr. J. Erving was a great player, but he is more known for his dunks. Also you compare Bill Russell and MJ even though they played different positions. I think that championships are not as important for a players career in basketball, cause there are more dynastsys in basketball, but in football championships are more important, because with the salary cap it is harder for teams to consistently win championships.

Well you have to look at your comparisons. Championships are largely attributed to a team's Star player. So comparing Robert Horry (a career role player) to Larry Bird (the Celtic's 1st option forever) is unfair. A Championship ring isn't an end all to evaluating a player's talent but when you look at the great's most of them have been able to lead their teams to a world title.
*Russell's 11 ring to MJ's 6, who's bettter?(MJ)
come on 11 or 6... both of those numbers are unheard of in this sport

In a way yes, but no. I can see your point(except Erving being better than Pippen...no way). I guess it depends on the impact that you had in the championship. If you started in a championship, and you have 2 or 3 rings you are bound for hall of fame. I guess I will say no because it depends on the team you have for the championship, but there is no way a championship is overrated...thats like saying a SuperBowl is overrated no way. The only thing overrated is the World Series. I

This is the football section not the basketball section and Dwayne Wade is not a better player than Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant is a jackass and a ballhawk but career wise Kobe he is the better player.

No (and why are you making all the comparisons in basketball in the FOOTBALL section?)...you're another one who is crazily trying to say Manning is better than Brady...Tom Brady is the best QB in the league...3 rings to 1...Get over it...
