The franchises that have won the most titles and curiosities about American basketball

This year’s NBA Finals saw two franchises, Boston and Dallas, fight for the title, which, according to the predictions, should never have met. This happens when you’re dealing with overseas basketball, the most beautiful and the least predictable. Here, there are few teams that face the tournament with the goal of not making a bad impression. Except for the Pistons, Wizards and Hornets in the East and the Trail Blazers, Spurs and Grizzlies in the West, this year almost all the teams played a leading role. Of course, some could and should have done something more, for example the favorite Nuggets, who after winning the first and only ring in their history were called to repeat that success. The same thing can be said for the disappointing Bucks. In their place we discovered the strength of Dallas, who hoped until the end to reconquer the title after the one obtained in 2011. Speaking of titles, which teams have written the most beautiful pages in the NBA roll of honor?
Boston Overtakes Los Angeles for First Place
With the victory of the ring just under a month ago, the Boston Celtics have obtained the title of NBA champions for the eighteenth time, becoming the most successful team (in second place we find the Lakers with 17). It was since the distant 2008 that the franchise currently coached by Joe Mazzulla has not managed to return to the roof of the basketball that counts. Little trivia: the Celtics hold the record for the greatest number of consecutive successes, 8, from 1959 to 1966. Not only that, among its ranks it has the greatest number of Hall of Famers: 33. These are just some of the numbers relating to the NBA roll of honor that can be easily consulted on Unibet, where it is possible to view all the most important successes of the franchises that have made the history of American basketball. For example, the Golden State Warriors of the Curry-Durant-Thompson trio or the Toronto Raptors of Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard. This is as far as the recent past is concerned.

As mentioned above, when it comes to NBA titles, the Lakers rank second. Their last success dates back to 2020, when LeBron James ideally took over the baton left to him by the unforgettable Kobe Bryant, dragging an entire city eager to celebrate a ring that had been missing since 2010. The yellow and purple have collected interesting records: they are the franchise with the record for appearances in the NBA playoffs and among the most present in the list of the best NBA teams ever. Nothing more obvious if you think of performers like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Behind the Lakers there is a void, in the sense that the third force in the championship is the Golden State Warriors.
An unforgettable era
The Golden State Warriors have won 7 titles in their history, 4 of which between 2015 and 2022. The period from 2015 to 2019 will remain forever in the memory of fans of the orange ball: on that occasion the trio of wonders Curry-Durant-Thompson played 5 consecutive finals, winning 3 and losing 2. At that time the Golden State Warriors were devastating; on the parquet no one could stop them. In addition to offering spectacular basketball, they were an impressive scoring machine. They could have won more, if Durant and Thompson had gotten hurt during the 2016 and 2019 playoffs. That era, perhaps, will remain unforgettable.

Right behind are the Chicago Bulls, who have managed to wear the ring 6 times. And the credit goes to Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time who made the history of the franchise that has the bull as its symbol. Since he left Chicago, the Bulls have never recovered. Since 1998, in fact, they have not been able to fight for a title. And to think that when it comes to the Finals, they never miss a beat: 6 out of 6 victories on the occasion of the last act of the best basketball tournament in the world.
