Title: How many NBA rings have been won by Marquette alums?
Post by: 77ncaachamps on June 21, 2016, 02:13:51 PM: Buddy is an Arizona Wildcats fan and he was bragging with UA's tweets that UA has 32 NBA Finals appearances and a total of 20 NBA rings (coaches included).

So where does MU stand?

I think Butch won with LAL.
Maurice with Portland.
DWade has three.
Doc has one?

Chones won one with the Lakers. He was the guy who actually did most of the work in the "Magic played center" game when Kareem was hurt back in 1980.

Doc has one as a coach, but none as a player.

Yes. In looking at basketball-reference.com, I think we got everyone.

Jim Chones is on their radio broadcast team. Does he get a ring as well?

(MU head BB coach in the early 50s went on to the design the triangle with Phil Jackson and won a ton of rings in Chicago and LA)

That's correct for just wins, but he would count for 3 appearances. 08 and 10 as coach of the Celtics and 94 on the Knicks, even though he was on injured reserve.

Does a former basketball coach count as an alum? ;)

During World War II, Winter attended Marquette as a member of the United States Navy's V5 Cadet program.
