8 NBA Teams That Got Swept In The Finals. The NBA Finals usually feature two of the very best teams in the league unless thereâs some sort of cinderella run. As a result, the biggest games of the year are usually very competitive, leading to long, entertaining seriesâ. On a few occasions that simply hasnât been the case. One team, for a number of reasons, is completely outplayed in those games and is unable to even win one game. Here are the 8 NBA teams who were swept in the Finals.
One team has won 27 World Series, while two hapless franchises havenât appeared in a single one. Of the 107 World Series to date, the New York Yankees have appeared in 40 and won 27. This is far and away the most championship victories of any franchise in baseballâand sportsâhistory. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, Tampa Bay Rays, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies havenât won a single World Series. And the Washington Nationals (formerly the Montreal Expos) and Seattle Mariners have never even appeared in the Fall Classic.
