Which NBA team has won more Titles?
Heading into each season, winning an NBA championship is the ultimate goal for every team. Two franchises, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have the most titles in NBA history.
1. Boston Celtics
Inaugural Year: 1946
Historical Team Names: Boston Celtics
Conference Titles: 21 (1957-1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984-1987, 2008, 2010)
NBA Titles: 17 (1957, 1959-1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008)
Notable Players: Larry Bird, Bill Russell, John Havlicek
With more NBA championships than any other team in league history (of which Red Auerbach somehow participated in 16 amazing championships), the Boston Celtics can rank high in these rankings.
Make sure you don’t ignore the 1959-1966 position in the NBA championship section. That run was very impressive.
Two of the top five players in history, Bill Russell and Larry Bird, have played in the Boston Garden, and 23 other Hall of Famers have also played here.
2. Los Angeles Lakers
Inaugural Year: 1948
Historical Team Names: Minneapolis Lakers, Los Angeles Lakers
Conference Titles: 31 (1949, 1950, 1952-1954, 1959, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968-1970, 1972, 1973, 1980, 1985,1986, 1987-1989, 1991, 2000-2002, 2004, 2008-2010)
NBA Titles: 16 (1949, 1950, 1952-1954, 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000-2002, 2009, 2010)
Notable Players: Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant
To be honest, I want to get out of the woods and let the Lakers and Celtics tied for first place. But this will be cowardly, and it’s not my style. On the contrary, I will state my position.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who have been listening to George Mikan’s days in Minneapolis, are an absolutely incredible team. Not once in their history have they been bad.
16 Hall of Famers played for the Lakers at some stage in their careers, and 4 Hall of Famers walked around the sidelines.
3. Chicago Bulls
Inaugural Year: 1966
Historical Team Names: Chicago Bulls
Conference Titles: Six (1991-1993, 1996-1998)
NBA Titles: Six (1991-1993, 1996-1998)
Notable Players: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman
The Chicago Bulls found themselves third in the rankings for only one reason: Michael Jordan.
Without MJ at the helm, the Bulls would not have an NBA championship. With him, they have six, ranking third in the category.
The two triple-winning teams that the Bulls can claim are one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. Nevertheless, Chicago cannot touch the top two teams in NBA history.
4. Detroit Pistons
Inaugural Year: 1948
Historical Team Names: Fort Wayne Pistons, Detroit Pistons
Conference Titles: Seven (1955, 1956, 1988-1990, 2004, 2005)
NBA Titles: Three (1989, 1990, 2004)
Notable Players: Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Dave Bing
The Detroit Pistons may be the most surprising team to enter the top five, but they definitely belong there. After all, they have gone through three very important stages in history.
Back in Fort Wayne, the Pistons made the playoffs in eight of the nine years they spent in the city. The only exception was the first NBA season after the transfer from the NBL. Then from 1983 to 1992, the Pistons entered the playoffs every year because the Bad Boys won two of the team’s three NBA championships.
Then in the early 2000s, the defense-oriented Pistons won another championship and consistently entered the playoffs.
5. San Antonio Spurs
Inaugural Year: 1976
Historical Team Names: San Antonio Spurs
Conference Titles: Four (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007)
NBA Titles: Four (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007)
Notable Players: George Gervin, David Robinson, Tim Duncan
As our newest elite team, most modern NBA fans can’t remember the days and times when the San Antonio Spurs weren’t talked about as championship contenders.
Since they joined the NBA, only four seasons have not made the playoffs. That is not a typo.
I call the Spurs a model team in the NBA for a reason. They seem to get it right all the time.
