Footnotes
⓵ The reigning champion Milwaukee Hawks ditch Milwaukee for St. Louis, the third move in the franchise's history.
⓶ Wilt Chamberlain, as a rookie, led these Pistons to the championships, starting his career with a title.
⓷ The Cincinnati Royals become the first team in NBA history to four-peat after taking the 1970 Title, their NBA-best ninth championship.
⓸ The 76ers pull off one of the rarest feats in professional sports - a comeback after trailing 0-3 in a series. This is the franchise's third title (prior two were won as the Syracuse Nationals).
⓹ The Royals league-best tenth title comes in their seventh straight Finals appearance. From 1963 through 1972, the Royals won seven championships and competed in nine out of ten Finals. In OTL, the Royals left Cincinnati at the conclusion of the 1972 season, which they do here as well despite their success - because what are butterflies?
⓺ This marked the tenth Finals between the Royals and the 76ers franchises in their history.
⓻ This is the first time the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have met in the Finals in this TL.
⓼ The LeBron James-led Utah Jazz become the first team to 3-peat since the 1973-75 76ers, nearly 40 years ago.
⓽ The Utah Jazz join the 1971 76ers as the only teams in NBA history to come back from an 0-3 deficit in the Finals to win it. The Jazz are the third franchise to win at least six titles, joining the 76ers (6) and the Kings (12).
