With March Madness in full swing, basketball fans all over the world are paying close attention to the biggest and brightest stars of the NCAA Tournament.
Today, there are just three current NBA stars who won both a championship in the association as well as one in the NCAA.
The biggest name on this list, Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers won a championship in college while playing at Kentucky and then years later he earned an NBA title with the Lakers.
Davis is a future Hall of Famer and one of the most dominant players in the league. The only question is if he can win another championship in the league.
The newest addition to this list, Christian Braun earned his NBA championship just last season with the Denver Nuggets. Years before, he won while a student for Kansas. When Braun was picked as the 21st pick int he 2022 draft, he had no idea that he was on the verge of becoming a champion in his rookie year.
He is a young man and just got started in the league so there is a good chance that he will win another championship, perhaps even this season.
Danny Green
He got his start playing for UNC but Danny Green then diverted his college experience into a very successful NBA career.
Of all the people on this list, Green has won the most championships with three. He scored one with the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Toronto Raptors. He has established himself as a reliable role player with each of those teams. At 36 years old, his career is coming to an end but Green's place in NBA history has been solidified.
