Should have included the 47-48-49 champions from the BAA to make it just a little tougher. A NBA history nut like me would have loved it and I know I wouldn't have remembered at least one of the three. The other 65 are a lot easier.

Lakers only won 1 title in the 70's. 1972. From the season that ended in 1970 through the season that ended in 1979, the Celtics and Knicks are the only teams to win more than once.

What's wild is if Bill Russell hadn't gotten hurt in 1958 (knee injury in Game 2, I believe), Boston would've most likely won 10 straight titles. Even in the early NBA, that would be tremendous. (I'm a Chicago native, by the way. Hate Boston teams.)

You guys had a puncher's chance there for a couple years, but looking back on this comment about 15 months later, looks like the Jazz came to the reasonable conclusion that the Mitchell / Gobert core wasn't going to get them over the hump and win titles, so they understandably blew it up, traded them in for a big haul of draft picks, and reset.

One of the reasons I find it hard to get into the NBA is that, with only five guys playing the majority of the game and each player able to touch the ball on any possession, it's too easy for dynasties to develop. If you get a true superstar plus two other really good players, you're going to dominate the league for an extended period, as this quiz attests. When each season starts, only four or five teams realistically have a shot at winning it all, because the game depends so much on individual skill. No other sport has that issue. I love the game of basketball itself, but I'll always favor college ball because the roster turnover makes it so much more interesting. And now that NBA superstars are making it their business to team up, things are even less interesting.

Yes, because it's the current franchise. That's how that works. OKC has one NBA championship as a franchise--won in 1979, when they were the Seattle SuperSonics.
Cyclonus
+1
Level 85
Jun 23, 2025
That's a tough one to answer. Typing this in June 2025, the Thunder just won their 1st title under the Thunder name, and while it was mentioned multiple times during this finals series that the franchise had previously won a title in Seattle, I still remember the agreement that allowed the Sonics to move to OKC in 2008, whereby they had to change the team name and colors, and that if a team ever came back to Seattle (which seems likely with the expansion talks that will be taking place in summer 2025), they would use the old name and colors, and would reclaim the franchise history. So ultimately people will choose to see it how they want to see it.

Lowkey, I think Richard Jefferson is the greatest player of all time. He carried LeBron in the 2016 finals. If you think otherwise you don't know ball. Trust me when I say, that Richard Jefferson is better than your favorite basket ball player. MJ only retired on the Wizards because he was scared of Richard Jefferson. MJ was scared of prime Richard Jefferson and left before Richard Jefferson entered his prime. Richard Jefferson carried his side kick Jason Kidd and that sorry Nets team to the finals. Richard Jefferson only let them win because he liked the fact that Kobe Bryant grew out of Frobe. If you drop Richard into todays game, he's easily averaging 69 points per game which is MJ's career high. He would shoot 100 percent from three and only play a quarter per game. Yea thats right, 69 points in 1 quarter. Yall are scared of my boy RJ. Be afraid forever. He's better than LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, MJ, Duncan, Nowitzki, Wilt, Bill Russell and Walton, Dwade, MJ's son ex's ex husband, and me

Sorry dude, but this is just complete and total nonsense. I don't know where you could possibly have even come up with this kind of lunacy. The only way you could even conceivably imagine that Richard Jefferson was the greatest player ever is because you clearly never witnessed the true basketball greatness and dominance that was Darko Miličić.
