The ultimate prize. The winner of the NBA Finals gets the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, which has been the official prize since 1976 when the ABA and NBA merged together.

Best-of-seven series. The two conference champions play games until one team wins four games, so it could take anywhere from four to seven games to decide the champion.

Eastern versus Western. The champion from the NBA's Eastern Conference faces off against the champion from the Western Conference in an epic playoff series.

The biggest basketball game. The NBA Finals is watched by millions of people around the world and is one of the most exciting sporting events of the year.
