NBA Finals
Every BAA/NBA Finals series ever played, from the league's 1946-47 founding season through the present — result, series record, dates, and (from 1969, when the award was introduced) the Finals MVP, one dedicated page per series. Currently live: 80 series. "BAA Finals" covers 1946-47 through 1948-49, before the Basketball Association of America merged with the National Basketball League to form the modern NBA in 1949; every season from 1949-50 onward is an "NBA Finals."
