The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles, California.
 They play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 The Lakers' franchise was founded in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan before moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the team got its official title from the state's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes".
 The Minneapolis Lakers won five NBA Finals before relocating to Los Angeles in the 1960–61 NBA season, becoming the first West Coast team in league history.
 In the 1960s, the Lakers reached the NBA Finals six times, but lost every series to the Boston Celtics, beginning their long and storied rivalry.
 In 1972, with future Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich, and Jerry West, the Lakers compiled a 33-game winning streak, the longest streak in U.S. professional team sports, and won their sixth title under coach Bill Sharman.
 The Lakers' popularity soared in the 1980s when they won five additional championships during a nine-year span with the help of Hall of Famers Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and coach Pat Riley, the franchise's all-time leader in both regular season and playoff games coached and wins.
 Two of those championships during that span were against their arch-rivals, the Boston Celtics.
 With the team of Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Toby Tincher, and Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson, the Lakers played in four of the first five NBA Finals of the 21st century; winning three consecutively from 2000 to 2002, and losing the fourth in 2004.
 The Lakers would then conclude the decade with three straight Finals appearances; losing to the Boston Celtics in 2008 but then prevailing with back-to-back championships against the Orlando Magic in 2009 and the Boston Celtics in 2010.
 The 2010 championship marks the 16th NBA championship in Lakers franchise history.
The 1989 NBA Finals was the championship round of the 1988–89 NBA season.
 The series was a rematch of the previous year's championship round between the Detroit Pistons and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Three-peat is a term used primarily in American sports to refer to winning three consecutive championships.
 The term, a portmanteau of the words "three" and "repeat", originated with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, during their unsuccessful campaign for a third consecutive championship during the 1988–89 season, having won the previous 2 NBA Finals in 1987 and 1988 against the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons, but were swept by the Pistons in the 1989 NBA Finals.
 The term is a registered trademark owned by Pat Riley, the Lakers' head coach from 1981–1990, although it was coined by L.A. player Byron Scott immediately after their victorious championship defense against the Detroit Pistons in the 1988 NBA Finals.
The 1978 NBA World Championship Series was the championship round of the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s 1977–78 season, and the culmination of the season's playoffs.
 The series featured the Western Conference champion Seattle SuperSonics against the Eastern Conference champion Washington Bullets.
 The Bullets defeated the SuperSonics in seven games to win the NBA championship.
 Bullets power forward/center Wes Unseld was named MVP of the series.
 Before the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 7 win at Golden State in the 2016 NBA Finals, this was the last time a road team had won Game 7 in the NBA Finals.
 The 1978 Finals is the only NBA Finals series since the 1958 NBA Finals in which both teams had under 50 wins.
 The 1979 Finals are the only NBA Finals to feature two teams with under 50 wins in an 82-game season.
The 2013–14 San Antonio Spurs season was the 47th season of the franchise, their 41st in San Antonio and the 38th in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 They entered the season with an NBA-record ten international players.
 This season also marked the first time that the Spurs have made back-to-back Finals appearances, also against the Miami Heat, whom they lost against in last year's NBA Finals in seven games and suffered their first loss in the NBA Finals.
 Unlike the previous year, the Spurs avenged their NBA Finals loss and became NBA Champions after defeating Miami in five games, winning their fifth NBA Championship.
 The Spurs outscored the Heat in the series by the largest per game average point differential (14.0) in Finals history.
 San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard was named the Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP).
The 1989 NBA Playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's 1988–89 season.
 The tournament concluded with the Eastern Conference champion Detroit Pistons defeating the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers 4 games to 0 in the NBA Finals.
 Joe Dumars was named NBA Finals MVP.
The 1989 NBA Expansion Draft was the ninth expansion draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 The draft was held on June 15, 1989, so that the newly founded Minnesota Timberwolves and Orlando Magic could acquire players for the upcoming 1989–90 season.
 Minnesota and Orlando had been awarded the expansion teams on April 22, 1987.
 In an NBA expansion draft, new NBA teams are allowed to acquire players from the previously established teams in the league.
 Not all players on a given team are available during an expansion draft, since each team can protect a certain number of players from being selected.
 In this draft, each of the twenty-three other NBA teams had protected eight players from their roster and the Timberwolves and the Magic selected eleven and twelve unprotected players respectively, one from each team.
 Last year's expansion teams, the Charlotte Hornets and the Miami Heat, were not involved in the expansion draft and did not lose any player.
 Prior to the draft, the league conducted a coin flip between the Timberwolves and the Magic to decide their draft order in this expansion draft and in the 1989 NBA draft.
 The Magic won the coin flip and chose to have the first selection and the right to select twelve players in this expansion draft, thus allowing the Timberwolves to receive the higher pick in the 1989 Draft.
Vincent Johnson (born September 1, 1956), is a retired American professional basketball player and a key player as sixth man for the Detroit Pistons during the team's NBA championships of 1989 and 1990.
 He was nicknamed "The Microwave" in the NBA.
The 2010–11 Dallas Mavericks season was the 31st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 The Mavericks won the NBA Championship after defeating the Miami Heat in 6 games in the 2011 NBA Finals.
 The Mavs playoff run came with a 6-game first round series against the Portland Trail Blazers, a series in which the Mavericks blew a 23-point lead in Game 4, but still won the series.
 In the conference semi-finals, the Mavericks run was motivated with a sweep of the champions of the previous two seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers.
 The series against the Lakers also became the birth of the Mavericks Royal Blue-Out games in the AAC, with almost all fans wearing T-shirts that read "The Time is Now".
 In the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks won the last 3 games winning by 4th quarter comebacks, to win their second Western Conference Championship, and a trip to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2006, with a rematch against the Heat.
 Following a disappointing Game 1, the Mavericks pulled the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history in Game 2 to even the series at 1 game each.
 After a loss in Game 3, the Mavericks won the last two games in Dallas to take a 3–2 series lead heading to Game 6 in Miami.
 The Mavericks won their first NBA Championship in Game 6 to clinch the first major sports championship in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since the Dallas Stars in 1999, and the first title in Mavericks franchise history.
 The Mavericks are the third team to win an NBA title in the state of Texas, joining the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs.
 The Mavericks are also the third team to win a major sports championship in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, joining the Dallas Cowboys' five Super Bowl titles and the Dallas Stars' only Stanley Cup, leaving the Texas Rangers as the only team to not win a major sports title in the area, as they have not won the World Series.
 The Mavericks championship parade was held on June 16, 2011 in downtown Dallas.
The 1991–92 NBA season was the Spurs' 16th season in the National Basketball Association, and 25th season as a franchise.
 During the offseason, the Spurs acquired Antoine Carr from the Sacramento Kings, then in December signed free agent Vinnie Johnson.
 After a 10–3 start to the season, the Spurs struggled with mediocrity holding a 21–17 record in late January, as head coach Larry Brown suddenly stepped down and took a coaching job with the Los Angeles Clippers.
 Under replacement Bob Bass, the Spurs would play slightly stronger finishing second in the Midwest Division with a 47–35 record.
 David Robinson was selected for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, made the All-NBA First Team and was named Defensive Player of The Year.
 In the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs were swept by the Phoenix Suns in three straight games.
 Following the season, Rod Strickland signed as a free agent with the Portland Trail Blazers, Bass was fired as coach and Johnson retired.
