The NBA has several major events every year, the birth of the championship team, the selection of MVP, the signing of the champion, and the show of the winner. The significance of the existence of the champion is to help the weak team change their lives through the high-quality rookie, but some teams are strong contenders for the championship almost every year, which is very abnormal.

In the past 30 championships, the West has only had 11 chances to select the Title, and the East has as many as 19 times, which also proves the pattern of the NBA's strong West and weak East. At the same time, only the Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers have been selected for two consecutive years.
There are 8 champions who have won NBA championship rings: O'Neal, Howard, James, Thick Brow, Duncan, Irving, Glenn Robinson, Bogut, and the 22 have not won a championship so far. Only four of the 30 members are currently Hall of Famers: O'Neill, Yao Ming, Iverson, and Duncan. Even with the addition of James, who will definitely enter the Hall of Fame in the future, there are only 5 people, and the water content of the NBA is evident.
