NBA: sixth champion in six years
The Denver Nuggets were the defending champions and the only one of the last crowned champions still in the race. However, after their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, their dream disappeared.
The Eastern Conference has in the final Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers; In the Western Conference came the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks. In this framework, a historical fact is being experienced: there will be a sixth different champion in the last six seasons. There could even be a team that debuts its record. Minnesota and Indiana never won the title; Dallas seeks its second coronation; and the Celtics, their eighteenth and would pass the Lakers, with whom they are tied.
This six-year streak begins in 2019, when the Toronto Raptors were crowned after the Golden State Warriors’ two-time championship. In 2020 the Los Angeles Lakers were champions; Milwaukee Bucks in 2021; Warriors in 2022 and Nuggets in 2023. None of those mentioned reached the conference finals in 2024.
Only once did something like this happen, in the period from 1975 to 1980, when the Warriors, Celtics, Trail Blazers, Bullets – now Wizards -, SuperSonics and Lakers were champions.
