 History

The National Basketball Association (NBA) was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). It merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1949 to become the NBA. The first NBA Finals took place in 1947, featuring the Philadelphia Warriors against the Chicago Stags. The Warriors emerged victorious, led by star player Joe Fulks.

The Boston Celtics dominated the late 1950s and 1960s, winning 11 NBA championships between 1957 and 1969. Bill Russell, the legendary center, was the heart of those Celtics teams. His shot-blocking, rebounding, and leadership set a new standard for excellence. The 1980s witnessed the iconic rivalry between Magic Johnson (Los Angeles Lakers) and Larry Bird (Boston Celtics). The Lakers and Celtics faced off in multiple Finals, captivating fans with their contrasting styles and intense battles. Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles in the 1990s. His scoring ability, competitiveness, and clutch performances are etched in basketball lore.

The Bulls’ battles with the Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz remain unforgettable. The early 2000s saw the emergence of the Los Angeles Lakers dynasty, led by Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Their three consecutive titles (2000–2002) showcased their dominance. LeBron James has been a central figure in recent NBA history. His stints with the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers have shaped the league. The Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry, also left their mark with three titles (2015, 2017, 2018). As we witness the Celtics and Mavericks clash in 2024, we add another chapter to this storied legacy.

The drama, intensity, and legacy-building moments continue to define the NBA Finals.
