# Finais de Conferência (NBA)

As Finais de Conferência da NBA são uma serie de partidas entre as equipes do Leste e Oeste da liga National Basketball Association (NBA), uma das grandes ligas esportivas profissionais dos Estados Unidos e Canadá. A NBA foi fundada em 1946 como a Associação de Basquetebol da América (BAA). A NBA adotou seu nome atual no início da temporada 1949-50, quando a BAA se fundiu com a Liga Nacional de Basquete (NBL). O campeonato é atualmente composto por 30 equipes, das quais 29 estão localizados nos Estados Unidos e 1 no Canadá. Cada equipe joga 82 jogos na temporada regular. Após a temporada regular, oito equipes de cada uma das duas conferências da liga qualificam para os playoffs. No final das playoffs, as duas melhores equipes jogam entre si nas finais da conferência, para determinar os campeões da conferência de cada lado, que, em seguida, avançam para jogar as finais da NBA.
Até 1970, a NBA era dividida em 2 divisões, Leste e Oeste, que então foram separadas em duas conferências de mesmo nome com duas e depois três subdivisões. Os Los Angeles Lakers são os maiores campeões de conferência com 19 títulos, e também fizeram 23 aparições em finais da conferência, mais do que qualquer outra equipe. O segundo colocado é o Boston Celtics, com dez títulos. 22 das 30 equipes atuais tem pelo menos um título de conferência, com cinco outras (Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies e Los Angeles Clippers) jogando pelo menos uma final e apenas Charlotte Hornets e New Orleans Pelicans nunca chegaram nas finais de conferência.
Os troféus de conferência começaram a ser dados em 2001. Em 2022 foram redesenhados e rebatizados, com o do Leste brandindo o nome de Bob Cousy e o do Oeste de Oscar Robertson. No mesmo ano surgiram troféus para os melhores jogadores das finais de conferência, com o nome de Magic Johnson no Oeste e Larry Bird no Leste.
