Notes

  1. ↑ Minneapolis was the Central Division (now defunct, no relation to the current Central Division) playoff champion, while the Anderson Packers were the Western Division playoff champion.[4] Due to the NBA's realignment into three divisions,[5][6] the team with the best regular season record after the Divisional Finals advanced automatically to the NBA Finals, while the other two teams faced off in the NBA Semifinals to determine the other finalist. Eastern Division playoff champion Syracuse had the best regular season record among the division playoff champions, causing Minneapolis to face Anderson in the NBA Semifinals.[4][7]
  2. ↑ The trophy was renamed for Walter A. Brown.
  3. ↑ The trophy was replaced by a new design.[35][36]
  4. ↑ The trophy was renamed for Larry O'Brien.
  5. ↑ Due to a lockout, the season did not start until February 5, 1999, and all 29 teams played a shortened 50 game regular season schedule.[59]
  6. ↑ Due to a lockout, the season did not start until December 25, 2011 and all 30 teams played a shortened 66-game regular season schedule.[73][74]
  7. ↑ The 2019–20 NBA season was delayed and shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic and finished in October 2020 with a bubble tournament.[83]
