Who Is My Favorite NBA Team?

The answer to this question may vary depending on who you ask, but for me, it’s the Chicago Bulls. I’ve been a Bulls fan since I was a kid, and they’ve always been my favorite team.

There are a lot of great teams in the NBA, but the Bulls will always be my favorite. Thanks for reading!

The Boston Celtics

I have been a Boston Celtics fan since I was a little kid. I grew up watching them win championships and always admired the players on the team. I even have a Celtics jersey that I wear to all the games. When people ask me who my favorite NBA team is, I always say the Boston Celtics.

History

The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Celtics compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. Founded in 1946 as one of the league’s original eight teams, the team play their home games at TD Garden, which they share with the National Hockey League (NHL)’s Boston Bruins. The Celtics are one of the most successful teams in NBA history; through the 2019–20 season, they have won a record 17 NBA championships, which accounts for 24% of all NBA championships since the league’s founding.

The Celtics play their home games at TD Garden, which they share with the National Hockey League (NHL)’s Boston Bruins. The franchise is owned by Boston Basketball Partners LLC.

The Celtics were formed in 1946 as a team in the Basketball Association of America (BAA), and became part of the NBA after the BAA merged with the National Basketball League in 1949. The Celtics had their most successful period during the late 1950s and early 1960s; winning eleven championships in thirteen seasons between 1957 and 1969, including eight straight from 1959 to 1966. This period was coincidental with the hiring of head coach Red Auerbach and with center Bill Russell’s joining the team, which resulted in a dramatic turnaround in their fortunes. Following their 1986 championship victory over the Houston Rockets, however, they entered into another period of mediocrity lasting until the acquisition of forward Kevin Garnett and guard Ray Allen in 2007, which ushered them back to relevance.

They are part of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Celtics have a storied history, with their seventeen NBA Championships (as of 2018), tied for the most in NBA history with the Los Angeles Lakers. Eighteen Hall of Famers have played for the Celtics, while nine have coached the team. The franchise has played its home games at the TD Garden since 1995, which is currently the oldest arena in active use by an NBA team.

The Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are my favorite NBA team. They have a rich history, with 16 NBA Championships and 31 Conference titles. They have had many great players, such as Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Magic Johnson. The Lakers are also the most valuable NBA franchise, worth $4 billion.

History

The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league’s Western Conference in the Pacific Division. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, an arena shared with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and the National Hockey League’s Los Angeles Kings.

The franchise began with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded team, the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League (NBL). The new team began playing in Minneapolis, calling themselves the Minneapolis Lakers. Initially a member of the NBL, the Lakers won the 1948 NBL championship before joining the rival Basketball Association of America, where they would win five of the next six championships, led by star George Mikan. After struggling financially in the late 1950s following Mikan’s retirement, they relocated to Los Angeles before the 1960–61 season.

Led by Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, Los Angeles made the NBA Finals six times in the 1960s but lost each series to the Boston Celtics, beginning their long and storied rivalry. In 1968, under head coach Butch van Breda Kolff, led by new players Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe, they compiled a wins-losses record of 55–27 to win division titles for only third time since relocating to L. A., ultimately losing to teams who compiled superior records such as Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks for Eastern Division Finals berth during most seasons between 1961–69; this was despite lopsided victory over inferior teams such as San Diego Rockets for division title for rest of seasons since then during this era until 1974–75 NBA season when newly implemented playoff system assured that division winner would face another division winner with superior record for conference finals berth regardless whether said division winner had inferior or superior record than other division winner from same conference outside its own division as long as said division winner did not have one game losing streak or worse while achieving one game winning streak or better at any point during regular season schedule (under old playoff system prior to 1974–75 NBA season which allowed teams regardless whether said teams had inferior or superior records than other teams from same conference outside its own division to advance into playoffs if said teams won their respective divisions outright without having played more games or less games than other potential playoff qualifying teams from same conference who either finished second place behind said teams in standings for their respective divisions OR if two or more potential playoff qualifying teams from same conference who either finished second place behind said teams in standings for their respective divisions had identical winning percentages while having played more games than other potential playoff qualifying team who either finished second place behind them OR if two or more potential playoff qualifying team from same conference who either finished second place behind them in standings for their respective divisions had identical winning percentages while having played fewer games than another potential playoff qualifying team which either finished second place behind them) and then were swept by Chicago Bulls led by future MVPs Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah en route to latter’s first ever championship appearance against Miami Heat led by future MVP LeBron James which they eventually lost that year; this was despite 3–1 victory against San Antonio Spurs led by future Hall Of Famer David Robinson which featured Western Conference Finals Game 5 at Alamodome upheld because officials missed Spurs fan that interfered Tim Duncan’s game-tying shot attempt at end regulation which should have been whistled goaltending hence giving Spurs ball back with 0:00 left on game clock with chance to either tie game up via free throws (if officials whistled Duncan for being fouled on his shot attempt) OR win game outright via made field goal attempt), notwithstanding that Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas Mavericks also failed to advance into playoffs during most seasons between 2001–2012 due largely because Mavericks generally acquired players whose skill set consisted primarily of scoring points rather than playing defense despite Don Nelson generally preferred run-and-gun style pace similar to Warriors’ current style under head coach Steve Kerr which enabled Warriors’ players such as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson AND Draymond Green to display remarkable shooting prowess en route to winning 2015 NBA championship) even after Cuban dismantled much entire Mavericks’ roster following 2002 Western Conference Semifinals loss against eventual champion Spurs while building Mavericks back up into perennial playoff team featuring many new players such as Josh Howard and Jason Terry whom he drafted/signed respectively following 2003 NBA Draft before Cuban eventually acquired future Hall Of Famers Kidd (from New Jersey Nets) and Dirk Nowitzki (via sign-and-trade deal involving Jason Terry being sent off to Atlanta Hawks) along with defensive specialist Marion (from Phoenix Suns) prior to 2008–09 season which Mavericks went on achieve 67 regular season wins en route to defeating defending champion Spurs 4–2 en route to first ever NBA Finals appearance where they eventually lost 4–2 against LeBron James led Miami Heat despite leading 2–1 at one point during series; notwithstanding that Chris Paul also failed lead New Orleans Pelicans into playoffs after participating 2014 Western Conference Semifinals loss against eventual champion Spurs).

The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Western Conference in the Pacific Division. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, an arena shared with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women’s National Basketball Association, and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League. The franchise began with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded team, the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League (NBL). The new team began playing in Minneapolis, calling themselves the Minneapolis Lakers. Initially a member of the NBL, the Lakers won a championship in 1948. In 1949, as part of a merger between NBL and its rival Basketball Association of America (BAA), they moved to Los Angeles; this arrangement lasted until when they became part-owners while playing all home games at Staples Center until they moved to Nokia Theatre at LA Live prior to their final game played on April 13, 2013.

The Lakers’ franchise remained strong after Johnson’s retirement, winning five more championships between 2000 and 2010. Led by Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Derek Fisher during those years, they repeated as NBA champions in 2000 and 2001 before losing to eventual Eastern Conference champions Indiana Pacers in 2002 and 2003 Finals—their earliest exits since 1990–91. After losing 2004 Finals to Detroit Pistons despite having Rasheed Wallace suspended for most part of Game 5 due to flagrant foul accumulation and Derek Fisher hitting game-winning shot with 0.4 left on clock (later known as “0.4” or “0.4 seconds”), Jackson retired from coaching permanently; he was succeeded by Rudy Tomjanovich and then Mike Brown. Under Brown’s guidance along with Pau Gasol’s leadership during 2009–10 season which resulted 67 wins (tied for second most regular season wins in franchise history), team returned to NBA Finals but were defeated by Boston Celtics for second consecutive year since 2008 Finals—an outcome that led to Brown being fired days later on May 11 despite having 1 year remaining on his contract (making him only head coach who was fired after winning Coach of Year Award). With longtime team executive Jeanie Buss taking over control from her brother Jim Buss as majority owner and Mitch Kupchak becoming new general manager under guidance from Jim Buss and Jeanie Buss after firing Mike Brown who was hired without consultation from either owner resulting disastrous 2012–13 season where team posted second worst record in franchise history which led to firing head coach Mike D’Antoni on April 30 after going 27–55 (.329) while posting first non-playoff season since 2005–06 NBA season., resulting fallout between Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant that ultimately led Howard leaving via free agency signing with Houston Rockets on July 5 instead of signing extension with Lakers despite being heavily courted by them hours before free agency period officially begun at 12:01 AM EST on July 1 when teams are allowed to begin negotiating with free agents which were prohibited prior to that date per collective bargaining agreement..

On February 18, 2016, Byron Scott was relieved of his duties as head coach after compiling a 38–126 (.232) win-loss record over two seasons. Scott was replaced shortly thereafter by Luke Walton. In his first season as head coach he guided them back into playoff contention after missing out massively finishing 10th place overall behind Sacramento Kings who clinched final playoff spot with 33–49 (.402) record—marking massive 23 win improvement from previous season., They finished 26th place overall missing playoffs again but this time just slightly behind Denver Nuggets who clinched final playoff spot with 40–42 (.488) record—marking massive 14 win improvement from previous season while avoiding having worst record overall being passed up by Brooklyn Nets who finished 20–62 (.244) posting worst single season win-loss percentage in NBA history surpassing previous mark set by 1972–73 Philadelphia 76ers who went 9–73 (.110).
