no way. Its like Cy Youngs record 511 wins....impossible considering the current conditions of the league.

not a chance...heres a few reasons...
1) More teams in the NBA now then there were back then...so more star players on each team makes for better team
2) Lots of players care more about money...if some players would tone down what they want and take less so the team has more room to sign better players you got more of a chance to win...but no, everyone wants to get paid a ridiculous amount.
3) Players wont play long enough
4) And my God 11 is INSANE!!!!

The only way I could see this being broken is if a role player is traded often, from contender to contender - like a Robert Horry, only traded more often...but I highly doubt that would ever happen. My vote is a most definite NO!

Heck no, it's hard enough to just win 1 championship, let alone 11.

No, it won't ever be broken because dynasties are rare in the NBA today. And to accumulate 11 championship titles is just plain outrageous.

The Boston teams of the late 50s/60 were loaded; the players on their IR would prolly be allstars on other teams lol. Not gonna happen, unless a role happens to get traded to the championship team every year like Nate mentioned. I might've said Robert Horry had a small chance, but I just read on wikipedia that he's retired :(
(Why am I always late on news?????)

absolutely not !
nice points. thank you for sharing nice OP. =)
But I would want to add this.
Bill Russell might have something above basketball player.
Look, Russell's opponent was Elgin Baylor and Jerry West then Wilt Chamberlain.
Of course, I don't know fully about 1950,1960's NBA because I couldn't watch. lol
but I watched 1956 NBA Final Celtics VS Lakers through Old Video.
Bill Russell was amazing. Nobody couldn't go to under rim because whenever tried to go to rim, Russell blocked !!
(There were Havlieck and Cousy. And Cousy was out because of injury but came back.) Russell might do 10 block roughly as I watched.
And how about this ?
Old(relatively) Russell matched with Young Chamberlain.
Ressell got Champ and Chamberlain got stat.
Old(relatively) Chamberlain matched with young Alcindor
like this
And Old(relatively) Alcindor matched with young Olajuwon
=> Olajuwon went to Final after breaking Lakers (Magic+Jabbar) then swept by Crazy 1986 Celtics.
then Old(realatively) Olajuwon matched with young SHAQ.
And Old SHAQ is still in this league as nice shape.
(Only Eastern DH12 and Western Ming might stop OLD SHAQ. (and Kendrick Perkins .lol) )
So I think Russell can easily play in this league if he is young.
I'm not sure he will be able to get 11 rings without Cousy and Havlicek.
But he might get at least 5-6 rings if he is in this league.
