The only two NBA teams with four consecutive championships in the 21st century are the three giants and the Warriors

In the NBA, it is difficult to win the championship, more difficult to defend it, and even more difficult to win three consecutive championships.

Throughout history, there have been five consecutive championships or more. In modern times, only the Bulls have won three consecutive championships twice, and the Lakers have won three consecutive championships once. If you want to achieve multiple consecutive championships, you should not only have absolute strength, but also have luck.

For example, the three giants of the Heat seemed to be powerful, but in fact they could only win two consecutive titles and were beaten by their rivals in 2014 and 2011. The team of Cosmos Brave is strong and has only won two consecutive championships. There were injuries in the defeat in 2019, but winning the championship in 2017 took advantage of the first place.

Looking at the NBA in the 21st century, only two teams have the strength to win four consecutive championships.

The first, of course, is the Lakers in the early 21st century, which has an OK team, as well as role players like Fisher, Horry, Shaw, and so on. They achieved three consecutive championships in 2000-2002. However, in 2003, they lost to the Spurs 2-4, and were unable to win four consecutive championships. In fact, in 2003, the Lakers' lineup and strength may not be lower than the Spurs. They also once drew 2-2 with the Spurs. Horry missed the winner in the fifth game, and finally the Lakers lost two games in a row.

This is really close, because there are three consecutive championships in hand.

The second one is actually the Spurs. The Spurs won three championships in 2003, 2005 and 2007. Although they did not achieve consecutive championships, in fact, they were all within a hundred percent.

In 2004, the Spurs had a 2-0 lead over the Lakers, but was reversed by the Lakers. Fisher's 0.4 second winner was also the key reason for the reversal of the Spurs. Or, without this 0.4 second, the Spurs would have defeated the Lakers.

In 2006, the Spurs also experienced ups and downs. They overtook the Mavericks by 3 points before the end when they were 20 points behind them in Game 7. However, Ginobili was so eager to foul Nowitzki that he gave Nowitzki 2+1, bringing the Mavericks back to life. The game entered overtime, and finally the Mavericks beat the Spurs in overtime to advance to the west finals.

One lost in 0.4 seconds, another lost in an unwise foul.

Otherwise at that time, it would be too exaggerated to say five consecutive championships, but perhaps there is still the possibility of winning three consecutive championships.

In addition, there are several strong teams in the 21st century NBA, but they are not close to four consecutive championships.

From 2008 to 2011, the Lakers won two consecutive championships from 2009 to 2010. However, the Lakers lost to the Celtics 2-4 in the 2008 NBA Finals and were swept by the Mavericks in the second round of 2011. It may only be close to three consecutive championships, but it has nothing to do with four consecutive championships.

The Heat in 2011-2014 won two consecutive titles in 2012-2013, but they were defeated 4-2 by the Mavericks in 2011, and easily defeated 4-1 by the Spurs in 2014. Similarly, they can be counted as close to three consecutive titles at most, and can not be four consecutive titles.

The Warriors in 2015-2019 are close in theory. After all, the Warriors won three championships in 2015 and 2017-2018. In 2016, they were also reversed when they were 3-1 ahead. It seems a pity that they missed four consecutive championships. However, in fact, if the Warriors win the championship in 2016, they will not be able to get Durant. In the case of the western showdown in 2017, the Warriors cannot defeat the Spurs.

Therefore, sometimes it is the difference of dominance. No matter how hard you try, you can't win three consecutive titles. It's hard for you to relate to the dominance, let alone the first place in the history of porcelain.
