This question can be answered in many ways.  Are you interested in the most championships that have been won in a particular season?  Or in the most championships ever?  Or in the most championships of any team in any year, ever?

most championships ever?

The Boston Celtics, with 17 championships, is the most prolific champion team of all time, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers, with 16.  However, in more recent years, the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors have both won more championships in a single season than the Celtics.  In the past ten seasons, the Golden State Warriors are the only team to win more championships in a season than the Boston Celtics did over their entire existence.

how can you win more than one championship in a season
user
That's actually pretty simple.  The teams were competing for a championship each year in the early years of the NBA, as well as the present day.  That means there were playoffs each year, and a championship every season.   So, it's relatively easy to win a championship in a season, even if a team has only won once, if it wins the championship each year.
