NBA Champions List
All NBA Finals have been played in a best-of-seven format, and are contested between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference (formerly Divisions before 1970), except in 1950 when the Eastern Division champion faced the winner between the Western and Central Division champions.
For the first three years, the league was tagged as “Basketball Association of America (BAA)” while in 1950 the name changed to “National Basketball Association (NBA)”.
The winning team of the series received the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which was awarded since 1977 (between 1947 and 1976 the winning team received the Walter A. Brown Trophy).
