# National Basketball Association 1998-1999

La stagione della National Basketball Association 1998-1999 fu la 53ª edizione del campionato NBA.
A causa del primo lockout della storia della NBA, la stagione iniziò solamente il 5 febbraio 1999 dopo una trattativa tra la National Basketball Players Association e la Lega, che si concluse con un rinnovo del contratto collettivo per sei anni. Il lockout ha avuto come effetto l'annullamento di molte partite e dell'All-Star Weekend. Tutte le 29 squadre giocarono un campionato ridotto di 50 partite, e le 16 squadre che si qualificarono disputarono regolarmente i playoff. La stagione si concluse il 25 giugno, con la vittoria dei San Antonio Spurs, che sconfissero i New York Knicks per 4-1 nelle finali NBA.
