With The Finals featuring the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers for the four straight season, there have been concerns voiced about the lack of parity in the NBA.

The league has always uniquely titled towards superstars as well as an infrequency for upsets due to the seven-game series format.

With two more Finals remaining in the current decade, there have been five different champions and eight different finalists.

The below chart shows a decade-by-decade look at how much parity there has been in terms of The Finals. The almost universally celebrated 1980s stands out as the decade with the least amount of parity in the modern era considering there were so few teams still when the Boston Celtics dominated the 1960s.
