The Cleveland Cavaliers against the Golden State Warriors is the NBA Finals rematch
we've been waiting nearly 12 months to see. It will be the first time in NBA
history the same two teams have met in three consecutive Finals.
So, for the third straight
season, the Warriors and the Cavaliers are facing off in the NBA finals.
Though many saw this matchup as
inevitable, it’s a historical anomaly. While there have been dynasties before
in the N.B.A., it’s rare for two of them to line up so closely. The finals have
never before matched the same teams three years in a row. Injuries, aging, loss
of form and sheer randomness always seemed to get in the way.
Even in the dominant
Celtics-Lakers eras, the same teams never met in the finals three times in a
row. The Celtics reached 10 straight finals in the ’50s and ’60s (winning nine
of them). Nine of those were against the St. Louis Hawks or the Minneapolis/Los
Angeles Lakers. But never three consecutively.
The Lakers or the Celtics were in
every finals of the ’80s. But the 76ers, the Rockets or the Pistons always
jumped in to prevent their pairing three times in a row.

Indeed, the triple rematch is a
rarity in any team sport.
