Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady became the first NFL player to win seven Super Bowl titles with Sunday’s 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
It was a win that essentially cemented Brady’s spot as the NFL’s GOAT. But it also brought Brady into a very exclusive club with … well … Robert Horry.
No basketball player since the NBA-ABA merger has won more championships than Horry’s seven. The former NBA player won three titles with the Lakers, two with the Spurs and two with the Rockets.
And with Brady’s seventh championship, Horry had a tweet ready to go to welcome the future Hall of Fame quarterback to the “7 Chip Club.”

Sure, Brady may have played a larger role in those seven titles than Horry did in his. But a ring is a ring, and the numbers don’t lie.

Horry never lost to Eli Manning. There’s no disputing that.
