THE BOSTON CELTICS have won 17 NBA championships, tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most in NBA history. The Golden State Warriors have won six titles when counting their time in Philadelphia, including the league's first crown in 1947.
Yet whichever team wins the 2022 NBA Finals, they'll be lifting this Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time.
That's because last month the NBA unveiled a redesigned championship trophy, evolving the design that was first introduced in 1977. As part of the league's 75th anniversary celebration, the NBA reshaped and renamed some of its most important awards, including the iconic championship trophy.
