Some opinions:I think, Billy Cunningham, John Havlicek, Kevin McHale, Detlef Schrempf, and Manu Ginobili are the greatest sixth men in the history of the NBA.Bobby Jackson is definitely the greatest, being a member of the 2001-2002 dominating Sacramento Kings
Lebron James, Oscar Robinson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson
The first six are all Celtics: Bill Russell with 11, Sam Jones with 10, then Tom Heinsohn, K.C. Jones, Satch Sanders, and John Havlicek with 8 each. The full list can be seen on "List of NBA players with most championship rings" on Wikipedia.
John Havlicek was in the Cleveland Browns camp as a receiver for a preseason, Chuck Connors played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Boston Celtics and was drafted by the Chicago Bears but never was on the active roster. Bud Grant played for the Minneapolis LAkers won a championship, then played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Later went on to Coach the Minnesota Vikings to four Superbowls.
Manu Ginobolli in 2007-08.
