NBA parity is at its highest level in over four decades, with a new champion guaranteed for 2024 as the Denver Nuggets fell short in defending their 2023 title against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The NBA has seen a lack of repeat champions in recent years compared to other major North American pro sports leagues, signaling a return to parity. The Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Dallas Mavericks are in the conference finals, with one of them set to become the sixth different champion in as many years – a rarity in league history. This shift towards new champions is refreshing for the league, giving rise to teams competing for their first title or ending long championship droughts.
