Lowest seed to win the championship?

[ATXSPUR]

Apologize if there is another thread on this but I looked and couldn't find it. With the Spurs being 7th it made me think about the lowest team to ever go all the way. Who was it? I remember the Knicks made the finals against us with the 8th seed but no idea who actually won it.

94-95 Rockets I think

The Rockets were the lowest seed and the only team in the History of the NBA to win a title without once having home court advantage.

Dream & Clyde baby !!

Yep, the Rockets. The mid-season trade for Clyde did it for them.

Nope. And it depends on how you define "lowest seed". The '69 Celtics were the last seed in the EC (obviously never had HCA) and won the title in a game 7 in LA - making the Lakers their ass-whipping boys once again and making Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain the perennial definition of losers.

Didn't the 1978 Bullets win the title without having home-court in a series? They might have had HC in the old best-of-three first round mini-series.
