The championship is the honor that every team in the NBA dreams of, and it takes many years of hard work to win a championship, and it is essential to form a reasonable squad and select the right cornerstones for the team, so behind a championship is the team's operation for many years. What about winning a back-to-back championship? It takes a lot more effort, and there are often a lot of problems within the team after the first championship, such as after the Mavericks won the championship in '11, there was a wave of injuries and some championship puzzle pieces in '12, which also led to the inability to defend the title in the playoffs.
So who are the teams that have won back-to-back titles? There are only 7 teams in NBA history that have done this, so let's take a look at which teams they are!
Warriors: 1 time (17 and 18 years).
The Warriors are a team that rose after the 10s, they won Curry, Thompson and Green in the draft, and completed the achievement of three championships in four years, after failing to defend the title in 16 years, the Warriors found Durant, and since then the Warriors' strength is the only one in the league.
They reached the Finals again in '17, facing their old rival Cavaliers, this time the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 4-1 to complete the championship, and then in mid-2018, the Finals were still a Riders' battle. The Warriors simply didn't have any affection at all, and directly swept the Cavaliers 4-0 to achieve a three-year triple crown dynasty, and the soul of this team is undoubtedly Curry. However, the most regrettable thing is that in 2019, the Warriors failed to complete the three consecutive championships due to injury, which is also a regret in the hearts of countless fans.
Piston: 1 time (89 and 90 years).
Don't look at the current Pistons team is a super fish belly team, in fact, his team history is also a lot of honors, in the late 80s, Isaiah Thomas led by the Pistons bad boys rose, they continued to block Jordan out of the Finals, and also defeated opponents in the Finals in 89 and 90 consecutive times, achieving the only two consecutive championships in team history, Isaiah Thomas is undoubtedly the leader of the team.
Rockets: 1 time (94 and 95).
The two championships in the history of the Rockets were won in the form of consecutive championships, in the first year of Jordan's departure from the NBA, the major teams in the league competed, the Knicks broke out in the East, and the Rockets in the West soared, the two teams met in the Finals, and finally the Rockets led by Olajuwon won seven games, which was also the first championship trophy in the history of the Rockets.
In the subsequent 94-95 season, the Rockets' regular season record was not satisfactory, only finishing sixth in the West, but Olajuwon still stubbornly led the team to the finals, and in the finals against the inexperienced O'Neal, the Rockets swept the Magic 4-0 to complete two consecutive championships.
Heat: 1 ('12 and '13).
In the summer of 2010, James announced the "decision" and brought talent to the Miami Heat, which also made the Heat directly the favorites to win the championship, but in the 11 Finals, the Heat Big Three lost to Nowitzki's Mavericks, which also became a joke for everyone.
Fortunately, the later Heat team determined James's core position, and his core style of play with the ball also helped the Heat team defeat the Thunder Sanshao and Spurs GDP combination in 12 and 13 respectively, so as to achieve two consecutive championships, but in the finals of the 14th year, the Heat was easily defeated by the Spurs and missed the dream of three consecutive championships.
Bulls: 2 times ('91-'93, '96-'98).
The Bulls have won two consecutive championships in history, and two triple-winning championships, mainly because the Bulls led by Jordan were very dominant in the 90s, and Jordan led the team to defeat the Lakers led by Magic Johnson, the Trail Blazers led by Drexler and the Suns led by Barkley. After welcoming Rodman in '96, the Bulls set sail again, beating the Supersonic duo in '96 and the Utah duo in '97 and '98.
In this way, Jordan led the team to complete two triple championships, and all the six championships in the history of the Bulls were won by Jordan, and he is also worthy of being the first person in team history.
Celtic: 2 times ('59-'66, '68 and '69).
Although there are 17 championships in the history of the Celtics, there are only two consecutive championships, one is 59-66 years to achieve eight consecutive championships, the core of which is Bill Russell, his defensive ability is the top in history, although the scoring ability is not as good as Chamberlain in the same period, but Russell has more championships.
After the Celtics missed nine consecutive championships in the middle of the 66-67 season, after a brief adjustment, the Celtics achieved two consecutive championships in '68 and '69. Russell's ability is indeed strong, and he is worthy of being the core figure of the Celtics.
Lakers: 5 times ('49-'50, '53-'54, '87-'88, '00-'02, '09-10).
The Lakers are the team with the most consecutive championships in NBA history, with a total of five, ranking first in NBA history. The first two consecutive championships in team history were completed under the leadership of George McCann, and the core figure of the third consecutive championship was Magic Johnson, who led the Lakers to become a strong team in the league in the 80s, after more than ten years of loneliness, the Lakers found O'Neal, and the newcomer Kobe Bryant gradually grew, they defeated the Pacers, 76ers and Nets in the three years from 00 to 02, and completed the only three consecutive championships in team history.
Later, the conflict between the big shark O'Neal and Kobe Bryant intensified, and the team chose to send O'Neal away in order to keep the young Kobe, and built a team around Kobe, and finally in 09 Kobe led the Lakers to defeat the Magic to win the first championship in the post-shark era, and in 2010, he defeated the old rival Celtics through a tie-break to achieve two consecutive championships, which is the fifth consecutive championship in the history of the Lakers, worthy of the signature of the giant team.
The Nuggets have been on a strong track this season and Jokic is still in peak form, so do you think the Nuggets have any chance of completing a back-to-back championship?
