As of 2025, the NBA 13 of the 30 teams have never advanced to the finals. Among them, the Kings of China (74), Hawks (65), and Clippers (55) are among the top three in the "Historical Age List". The Mavericks, Celtics (1 year), Nuggets, Heat (2 years), etc. have been silent for a short time. The Wizards (47 years), Hornets (37 years), Timberwolves (36 years), and other teams have "frequently accompanied" in their history. The Hawks (not made it after 1961), Rockets (30 years after winning the championship in 1995), and the Trail Blazers (no championship in 34 years after the Western Conference Final in 1992)

In 2025, the Pacers and Thunder broke the deadlock with a "new force", but the Kings, Grizzlies and other teams still need to wait for young core players (such as Morant and Sabonis) to realize their talents. The competition for "entry tickets" in the NBA Finals is not only a contest of strength, but also a test of patience. Dear fans, what do you think about the absence of NBA Finals teams?
