This Monday, if the Denver Nuggets win against the Miami Heat, the hammer will fall on the 2023 NBA Finals. Meet all the franchises that built themselves.
This Monday, at the Ball Arena, the Denver Nuggets They are just one victory away from dropping the hammer of NBA Finals 2023 in the view of Miami Heat and thus became the champion of the best basketball league in the world. I know all the championship franchises.
In the last season, the The Golden State Warriors won their seventh NBA title in June 2022 (fourth in eight years) after surpassing the historic Boston Celtics. Led by the hand of Stephen Curry the warriors became the first team in history capable of winning the trophy two years after being the worst team in the season.
After a year, The Milwaukee Bucks won their second NBA championship in July 2021 in a season affected by restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. The cast of Giannis Antetokounmpo ended up dominating the Finals in some surprising fashion phoenix suns which has not qualified for the playoffs in ten years.
In October 2020, The Los Angeles Lakers won their seventeenth NBA championship in the middle of a call nba bubble, the venue prepared by the league to end the campaign that had to be paralyzed due to the coronavirus pandemic. before, The Toronto Raptors won their first NBA title in the 2018-19 season to be the first champion not located in the United States to win the grand prize, thanks to the effectiveness of its team led by Kawhi Leonard on the track and Nick Nurse in the offices.
It is worth noting that Of the 20 franchises that have won the NBA title, 19 are still active, except for the first Baltimore Bullets, dissolved in 1954. City and name changes are common for almost all teams in the League, but there are exceptions: the most notable are the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, the only one of the 10 original franchises of the BAA (precursor to the NBA) which have survived keeping their name intact since 1946, the year in which the League was created shortly after World War II.
In fact, only three current teams know championship honeys playing in other cities: the Atlanta Hawks-St. Louis Hawks-, the Oklahoma City Thunder -Seattle SuperSonics- and the Sacramento Kings -Rochester Royals-. Historical continuity allows these franchises to be considered champions, but none of them come close to the two most successful franchises in history: The Celtics and Lakers, who in addition to forming one of the most legendary rivalries in the world of sports, have combined for 34 of the 75 championships distributed in the NBA record so far.
