What is the NBA Finals?
The NBA Finals is the championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The east and west division champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winner of the NBA Finals receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.
The series was initially known as the BAA Finals prior to 1947 when the Basketball Association of America (BAA) merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA. It then became known as the NBA World Championship Series from 1947–1955 and was renamed the NBA Finals in 1956.
The eastern division champions have home court advantage in odd-numbered games (Games 1, 3, 5, and 7) since 1971, when home court advantage for division champions was instituted for all rounds except the Finals. From 1957 to 1970, home court advantage alternated between division champions; it alternated again between 1975 and 1977 before settling permanently in 1979. The losing team of each year’s Finals has had home-court advantage in every subsequent year’s matchup between those two teams.
Who wins the NBA championship?
