De NBA Finals, voorheen bekend als de NBA World Championship Series tot 1987, is de kampioenschapsreeks van de National Basketball Association, gespeeld volgens een best-of-seven play-off format. Het team dat de Eastern Conference Finals wint, verdient één van de twee plaatsen in de kampioensronde; de andere plaats is voor het team dat de Western Conference Finals wint en daarmee de Larry O' Brien Trophy wint, die naar de voormalige commissaris is genoemd. Dit evenement werd gespeeld aan het einde van elk NBA- en BAA-seizoen in de geschiedenis. De eerste werd gehouden in 1947.
