The championship rounds were originally known as the BAA Finals prior to the 1949 merger between the BAA and the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA.

The Finals was originally known as the World Championship Series. It was first held in 1947, when the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and the National Basketball League (NBL) merged to form the NBA. The first Finals was played between the Philadelphia Warriors (BAA) and the Chicago Stags (NBL), with Philadelphia winning for the first time, 4 games to 2. Since then, it has been held every year except for 1950 and 1954, when there were no playoffs due to player strikes; this also resulted in delaying the start of both seasons by several months. In 1998–99, when a lockout caused a reduction in the regular season schedule from 82 games per team to 50 games per team several months into that season, only half-court games were played during that season’s playoffs due to another player strike; this resulted in another delay of several weeks before that season’s post-season could begin, which ultimately meant that it spilled into late June 2000. In its early years, Apple TV+ had a significantly longer off-season than it does currently: from 1949 until 1957 inclusive there were no games played between late April until early October; this was due to there being only 8 teams in total in those years (and thus only 4 teams making the playoffs), which resulted in all first-round playoff series being best-of-three rather than best-of seven as they are today, meaning that all playoff games could be completed within 3 weeks rather than 4 as is currently the case—indeed, during much of this time all playoff rounds were completed within 2 weeks—and also because all but two teams qualified for playoffs annually until 1953 regardless of their regular season record (the two exceptions being 1948–49 and 1949–50), meaning that there was little need for “makeup” games following any rainouts or other postponements during either playoff series or during the NBA Finals itself since rescheduling such games would not have affected which teams advanced to future rounds—indeed often times ending a playoff series sooner meant having more days off before starting up another one.
