This marks the first time in history that the NBA has seen different champions for seven consecutive years, entering an era of diversity and variety.

On June 23rd, the Thunder triumphed in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, ultimately overcoming the Pacers with a score of 4-3 to secure the championship for the 2024-25 season. This marks the beginning of a new era in the NBA, characterized by seven different champions in consecutive years, an unprecedented occurrence in the league's history.

The Thunder celebrated their victory in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, defeating the Pacers 4-3 to win the championship for the 2024-25 season.

From 1975 onwards, the NBA had a streak of six consecutive years with different teams winning the championship, including the Warriors, Celtics, Trail Blazers, Bullets (the predecessor of the Wizards), SuperSonics, and Lakers, until the Celtics reclaimed the title in 1981, ending this record.

The Lakers and Celtics dominated the 1980s, collectively winning eight championships, followed by the Bulls achieving back-to-back three-peats from 1991 to 1993 and 1996 to 1998, while the Lakers also completed a three-peat from 2000 to 2002 and won again in 2009 and 2010, with the Heat successfully repeating in 2013.

However, the last team to win consecutive championships in the NBA was the Warriors in 2018, followed by the Raptors in 2019, Lakers in 2020, Bucks in 2021, Warriors in 2022, Nuggets in 2023, Celtics in 2024, and now the Thunder this year, marking seven consecutive years with different teams lifting the NBA championship trophy.
