The NBA has among its ranks 30 franchises that compete each year to raise the Larry O’Brien Trophywhich is awarded to the team that becomes champion, something that few have achieved.
The teams that have won the league title the most times are the boston celticsY Los Angeles Lakers, both, with 17 champion ringswith those from Massachusetts having last won in 2008, and the Californians in 2020.
From there follow the chicago bulls and the Golden State Warriors, with 6 championships each, followed by the San Antonio Spurs, with 5 titles. The Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, and Miami Heat are tied with 3 trophies each.
With 2 championships each, the Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, and Houston Rockets are tied, while the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Oklahoma City Thunder, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors, and Cleveland Cavaliers, they have one each.
the unlucky ones
The Phoenix Suns are one of the teams that have never achieved glory in the NBA, having lost in the 3 finals in which they have appeared, one in 1976, the other in 1993, and the last in 2021.
Luck has not smiled on the Utah Jazz either, since on the 2 consecutive occasions that they played in the final, in 1997 and 1998, they lost against the Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Phil Jackson.
The Orlando Magic have also lost the 2 finals they have played, one in 1995 and the second in 2009. Same case for the New Jersey Nets, who are now from Brooklyn, losing in 2002 and 2003.
