NBA Basketball Tickets
The NBA (The National Basketball Association) was formed in June 1946 in New York with just 11 teams and has now transformed over the years to currently include 30 franchised teams. The NBA is one of the four major North American professional basketball leagues.
The Boston Celtics have won the most championships, with 16 NBA Finals wins.
The next most successful franchise is the Lakers Tickets, who have 14 championships. Following the Lakers are the Chicago Bulls with 6 championships, all of them won over an 8-year span during the 1990s. The Miami Heat, who won their first championship in 2006, are the defending champions.
The current league organization divides the teams into two conferences. Each conference has three divisions, and each division has five teams.
