Twelve NBA teams have never won a championship.
A few who haven’t − such as the Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder − have been close, reaching the NBA Finals at least once.
The Denver Nuggets, who have never won an NBA championship, are in the Finals for the first time with a great chance of capturing their first title.
The Nuggets have been the best team in the postseason with a 12-3 record, and they have the best playoff performer in two-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
