Who can break the curse of the NBA all-time 0 championship team?Since its establishment in 1946
Since its inception in 1946, the NBA has gone through nearly 80 years, from 11 teams to 30 teams now. However, each of these 30 teams won the championship once. Teams like the Lakers and Celtics that have a lot of glory, like the Clippers, have been established for a longer time, but they haven't won a championship once. Let's take a look at the teams that have won championships in NBA history.
The most popular teams are: Lakers, Celtics, both of which have won 17 championships and are the strongest teams in the NBA. Both teams have historically been fierce rivals, with the Celtics, led by Russell, on an unprecedented eight-game winning streak, while the Lakers have a strong record under the Showtime era and the OK partnership.
The second most won number is the Warriors, who have won a total of seven championships. In the 2015-2018 season, Curry led the Warriors to 4 championships, which was also the most glorious moment of the Warriors dynasty. In addition, in the 2022 season, the Warriors defeated the Celtics again to claim their seventh championship trophy.
In third place for the most championships is the Chicago Bulls, all six of whom are Jordan's. Under Jordan's leadership, the Bulls won two seasons of championships and showed their toughness. If Jordan hadn't retired at the time of his three consecutive championships, I'm afraid the Bulls would have won more trophies a long time ago.
Fifth place: San Antonio Spurs, who have won a championship five times in their history, and all of this is thanks to Popovich and Duncan. Popovich is the Spurs' greatest head coach, and Duncan is the Spurs' spiritual leader, and the two men have won all the accolades together.
Historically, Miami, Pistons, and 76ers have all won three championships, while the Rockets, Knicks, and Bucks have all won two. The Mavericks, Cavaliers, Raptors, Thunder (formerly the SuperSonics), Wizards, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Hawks, Kings, Baltimore Ball (now defunct) all got it once.
However, there are still 10 teams that have not won the championship and they are fighting for their first title in history. Let's take a look at the championship history of these teams and their futures!
Orlando: Joined the NBA in 1989, and there has never been a shortage of superstars like O'Neal, Hardaway, Maddy, Howard on this team. However, the team's management has not been able to retain those superstars and has missed out on many championship opportunities. One of the most notable is O'Neal, who could have stayed to help Orlando win a championship, but O'Neal left the Lakers because the Lakers' top management did not renew his contract in time. The closest Orlando came to winning a championship came in 2009, when Howard led them to the NBA Finals, but lost to Kobe Bryant and Gasol's Lakers.
Charlotte Hornets: The predecessor of the Charlotte Hornets was the Bobcats, which entered the NBA in 2004. Despite their good results in previous seasons, the team never made the playoffs and was eliminated in the first round. Now, Charlotte Wong is flocking to newcomers like LaMelo Ball, who want to use a swap to improve their roster and prepare for the title.
Gannets in New Orleans: Migrated to New Orleans in 2002. The Pelicans have undergone several name changes, and under Paul's leadership, they have reached the second round of the second round, but none of them have achieved good results. Today, the Pelicans have a lot of talented young talents, including Ingram and Zion, who are expected to breathe new life into the team.
Indiana Pacers: In 1967, this team was a veteran in the league. They made it to the NBA championship in the 2000 season, but lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, the Pacers already have a good future star, Haliburton, and there is a good chance that they will challenge for the title under his leadership.
Utah Jazz: When they joined the NBA in 1974, the Jazz had the "twin devils" of Malone and Stockton, and they have been very competitive for the past few years. However, because of Jordan, Utah reached the NBA finals twice, but ultimately failed. Now the Jazz are rebuilding and they want to get back to the top.
Minnesota Foresters: The Timberwolves are a small city that entered the NBA in 1989, and despite their history, they have not won a single championship. In recent years, the Timberwolves have acquired a player named Morant from the draft, and his arrival has restored the team's competitive strength in the hope that he can lead the team to make more history.
Los Angeles Clippers: Since entering the NBA in 197, the Clippers have never won a championship. The team formed a "city of empty connections" giant lineup, but suffered repeated setbacks in the playoffs. And now, the Clippers have brought in Harden, and they are looking forward to a star-studded team that can do well this season.
Memphis Grizzlies: After joining the NBA in 1995, after years of hard training, they had a brilliant record in this game. Today, the Grizzlies have been competitive this season with Morant as a super rookie and a group of young players with potential.
Brooklyn.com: In 1976, since the founding of the NBA league, the basketball team has reached the NBA twice, but both times they have lost to Los Angeles and San Antonio. The team, which was once considered an aging roster of giants, ultimately failed to gain a foothold in the East. The Nets now have a group of youngsters and hopefully they can continue their excellent performances.
Phoenix Suns: Entered the NBA in 1968, and the Suns have superstars like Barkley. They entered the NBA twice, but lost to Jordan and lost the chance to win the championship. Now, the Suns have brought in Durant, Beal, and Booker to form a trio of superstars who will be working for their first championship in history.
There are still so many teams in the NBA who haven't won the championship, let's take a look at who can be the first to break this curse of no trophy!
