NBA Finals Winners (2000)

The NBA Finals is a series that matches up the winner of the Eastern Conference against the winner of the Western Conference. The teams play a best-of-seven game series that determines the champion. The winner of the series is awarded the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. The NBA Finals has a format of 2-2-1-1-1, although from 1985 to 2013 it had a 2-3-2 format.

There have been a total of 19 franchises that have won the NBA Finals, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics holding the record for most titles with 17. The Celtics hold the record for consecutive titles with eight, as they won it all every year from 1959-1966. The Los Angeles Lakers have made the most appearances in the NBA Finals with 32. The Eastern Conference has 38 wins, while the Western Conference has 34 wins. The Celtics have made only 21 NBA Finals appearances, but they have 17 wins.

Even though the format of the NBA Finals hasn't always been the same, the goal has remained. The two conference champions ultimately play against each other, and the first to win four games out of seven was named NBA champion. Amazingly, just eight of the series all-time dating back to 1949 have ended in sweeps, while 18 of the series have ended in seven games, most recently, the epic Game 7 between the Cavaliers and the Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals.

Remember how we talked about dominance? Here it is. The Celtics and Lakers have combined to win 34 championships. The rest of the teams in the NBA have combined to win just 38 titles. The biggest sin about the whole thing is how many franchises have never even sniffed the NBA Finals. There are six teams who have never even been to the NBA Finals (Timberwolves, Pelicans, Nuggets, Hornets, Grizzlies and Clippers) and five others who have been and have never won it (Pacers, Magic, Nets, Jazz and Suns). The Sacramento Kings won the NBA championship in 1951 as the Rochester Royals – a lot of good that does fans in Northern California, while the Seattle SuperSonics won their one title in 1979 – Oklahoma City fans couldn't care less about that. Same with the Atlanta Hawks. They have a championship under their belt, but no one will be talking about the St. Louis Hawks' 1958 NBA championship.
