I just noticed this morning an interesting trend in the NBA:
Since 2006, we've had six different NBA teams in each Finals.
2008 - Lakers, Celtics
2007 - Spurs, Cavs
2006 - Mavs, Heat
If you go back a couple more years:
2005 - Spurs, Pistons
2004 - Lakers, Pistons
2003 - Spurs, Nets
The only 3 teams to have repeat appearances are the Spurs, Pistons, and the Lakers. The Spurs have been 3 times, the Lakers and Pistons twice each.
That actually seems like a lot of variety, which suggests how much parity the league has between teams. Esp to have 6 different teams in the Finals in the last 3 years. Very interesting, I think.
