Bud Grant was a member of one of the Minneapolis Lakers teams who won the NBA championship in the 1950's.

He also was head coach of the Minnesota Vikings when they won the NFL championship in 1969.

(Before you start, remember in 1969, there was the NFL and AFL. The AFL's Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl IV, but the Vikings were still credited with the National Football "League" championship.)
You nailed it. Grant was a reserve guard on the 1950 Lakers. He was "slightly" overshadowed by George Mikan.
