what nba teams have won 3 championships in a row
Three - peat - wikipedia Three - peat Jump to : navigation , search Three - peat is a term used primarily in American sports to refer to winning three consecutive championships . The term , a portmanteau of the words three and repeat , originated with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association , during their unsuccessful campaign for a third consecutive championship during the 1988 -- 89 season , having won the previous 2 NBA Finals in 1987 and 1988 against the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons , but were swept by the Pistons in the 1989 NBA Finals . The term is a registered trademark owned by Pat Riley , the Lakers ' head coach from 1981 -- 1990 , although it was coined by L.A. player Byron Scott immediately after their victorious championship defense against the Detroit Pistons in the 1988 NBA Finals .

The episode of that program broadcast on December 29 , 1930 , featured a trio of singers dubbed `` The Three Visiting Firemen : Pete , Re-Pete , and Three - Pete '' . The Oxford English Dictionary credits an Illinois high school senior , Sharif Ford , with the earliest published use of the word in the March 8 , 1989 edition of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch . Ford 's quote uses the term in a sporting context and serves to provide a clear etymology as well : The Lincoln High Tigers say they want to `` three - peat '' . `` You know , kind of like repeat , except doing it for the third time '' , senior Sharif Ford said . However , Riles & Co. , the corporate entity of National Basketball Association ( NBA ) coach Pat Riley , submitted in November 1988 a trademark application for the use of three - peat on shirts , jackets and hats . At the time , the phrase was being used by members and fans of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team , of whom Riley was the head coach , regarding the Lakers ' quest that season to obtain what would have been a third successive NBA championship . According to Riley , it was Laker player Byron Scott who coined the term in reference to the team 's goal for that season . In 1989 , Riles & Co. successfully registered the trademark under U.S. Registration Number 1552980 . The Lakers did not win a third consecutive NBA championship in 1989 , but the Chicago Bulls did in 1993 , and Riles & Co. collected royalties from sports apparel makers who licensed the phrase for use on merchandise commemorating that accomplishment . Riles & Co. subsequently obtained additional registrations expanding the trademark to cover many other kinds of merchandise in addition to apparel . The company then went on to reap additional profits by again licensing the phrase to merchandisers when the Bulls again won three consecutive NBA championships from 1996 through 1998 , as well as when the New York Yankees won three straight World Series championships from 1998 through 2000 and when the Lakers won three straight NBA championships from 2000 through 2002 . The trademark registration for three - peat has been challenged over the years by those who argue that the term has become too generic in its usage for the trademark to continue to be applicable . However , such arguments have yet to succeed , with the registration continuing to be upheld by the United States Patent and Trademark Office as recently as 2001 , in the case of Christopher Wade v. Riles & Co . In 2005 , a group of individuals attempted to trademark the phrase Three - Pete in anticipation of the ( ultimately unsuccessful ) attempt that year by the University of Southern California ( U.S.C. ) football team to win a third consecutive national championship . The change in spelling was a reference to the team 's head coach , Pete Carroll . However , the Patent Office ruled that the change in spelling was not dissimilar enough from Riles & Co. 's three - peat , and denied the registration . Later that year , U.S.C. fan Kyle Bunch began selling his own `` Three - Pete '' T - shirts . He discontinued sales once he was notified that he was infringing upon the Riles & Co. trademark . As of late 2007 , the trademark `` Three Peat '' is still active for shirts , jackets , caps , etc. , and for commemorative mugs , plates , etc. , and also for posters , bumper sticker , etc . The similar `` 3 Peat '' became a registered trademark of Riles & Co. for blankets and other bedding , as of June 2015 . Some of the Riles & Co. trademarks are no longer in effect , e.g. keychains . Occurrences of three - peats ( edit ) There have been numerous instances of teams winning three or more consecutive championships in the National Basketball Association , National Hockey League , Major League Baseball and Australian Football League most of which occurred prior to the advent of the term three - peat .

Two - time defending Super Bowl champions who failed to three - peat include the Green Bay Packers ( 1968 ) , Miami Dolphins ( 1974 ) , Pittsburgh Steelers ( twice : 1976 , 1980 ) , San Francisco 49ers ( 1990 ) , Dallas Cowboys ( 1994 ) , Denver Broncos ( 1999 ) , and New England Patriots ( 2005 ) . All of these teams failed to return to the title game in the third season ( indicated in parentheses ) . The Buffalo Bills went to 4 consecutive Super Bowls from 1990 -- 1993 which is a feat unmatched in NFL history , however they lost in every appearance . In the early years of the NFL , decades before the introduction of either the term three - peat or the Super Bowl , the Packers won three consecutive NFL titles from 1929 -- 31 . This was achieved without playing any postseason playoff games , as the league title was determined at that time from the season standings . In addition , the Packers won the NFL championship in 1965 , at a time when the rival NFL and AFL played separate exclusive championships . They then followed that 1965 championship with their first two Super Bowl victories in 1966 and 1967 ( their Super Bowl berths were earned by winning both the 1966 NFL Championship Game and 1967 NFL Championship Game ) , thereby winning championships three years in a row . Related terms ( edit ) There have been efforts to come up with a similarly clever name for the potential fourth consecutive championship in the year following a three - peat . But attempts such as quat - row have thus far failed to catch on , and most fans simply use the term four - peat . Since the term three - peat came into usage , however , only one team in major American sports has been able to achieve it -- Hendrick Racing / Jimmie Johnson NASCAR team , who won 5 championships in a row . The wordplay of three - peat is clearer if repeat is stressed on the first syllable ; this pronunciation is uncommon outside North America . Other English - speaking people may instead talk of a hat trick of championships , or simply a three - in - a-row . There are also terms for winning three different trophies in the same season : Triple Crown -- various sports Treble ( association football ) Grand slam -- Philippine Basketball Association References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Wizzard Media Jump up ^ `` NCAA FBS Football Championship History '' .
