# Liste der NBA-Finalserien

Die Liste der NBA-Finals führt die Endspielserien um die Meisterschaft der National Basketball Association (NBA) seit 1947 auf. Es wird im Modus Best-of-Seven gespielt. Wer als erstes Team in der Serie vier Spiele gewinnt, ist der Gewinner der Meisterschaft und der Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. Sie ist benannt nach dem dritten NBA-Commissioner Larry O’Brien. Seit 1969 wird der wertvollste Spieler der Finalserie mit dem NBA Finals MVP Award ausgezeichnet.
Von den beiden Finalisten stammt seit 1970 jeweils einer aus der Western Conference und einer aus der Eastern Conference, die wiederum in drei Divisions unterteilt sind. Vorher hatte es, aufgrund der kleineren Anzahl an Teams, nur zwei übergreifende Divisions Western und Eastern gegeben.
Bis zum Zusammenschluss mit der National Basketball League (NBL) im Jahr 1949 hieß die Liga Basketball Association of America (BAA).
