Within a few weeks, a new NBA champion will be crowned.
It will either be the Golden State Warriors or Cleveland Cavaliers, who open the NBA Finals on Thursday, June 4.
The Warriors have won 3 NBA titles, the last coming in the 1974-75 season. The first two came when the franchise was in Philadelphia (1947 and 1956). The Cavs are looking for their first championship.
The Boston Celtics have claimed the most NBA Finals victories with 17, one more than the Lakers franchise, who have 16 total (5 in Minneapolis and 11 in Los Angeles).
Next up is Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, who went 6-0 in the championship series during the 1990s.
Last year’s winner, the San Antonio Spurs, have 5 Larry O’Brien Trophies, all since 1999.
