Now that my Lakers have dispatched the Denver Nuggets in 6 games, they are heading to their 30th NBA Finals in the 61 year history of the NBA. The Lakers have won 14 titles, second only to Boston’s 17. Hopefully, it’ll be 15 in a few weeks against Orlando or Cleveland.

Only 16 teams have actually claimed the league’s most coveted trophy. Only 10 have won more than once.

In other words, it’s a pretty exclusive club.
