NBA Team with the most Championships

By winning the 2019-2020 NBA Championship, the Los Angeles Lakers joined the Boston Celtics as the only two teams with 17 titles. It was the 32nd trip to the NBA Finals for the Lakers.

The Lakers are the franchise that played the most Finals and one of the most represented franchises if we think about the best teams in the history of the league. Suffice it to say that 25 of their players were inducted in the Hall Of Fame and 4 won the MVP award (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal e Kobe Bryant).

The Celtics were the NBA’s winningest team from 1963 to 2019. This long-lasting record is due in large part to the Celtics Dynasty, a group of players who dominated the NBA from 1957 to 1969, winning an impressive 11 titles in 13 seasons, including eight in a row. The main man of this legendary team was Bill Russell, the player with the most NBA titles and one of the best rebounders ever.

The Lakers of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant and the Celtics of Bob Cousy, Bill Russell and Larry Bird are among the best teams ever, and rightfully so.
