It’s a known fact that not every NBA team has an equal shot at winning a championship. Whether it be timing, market size, bad luck, bad coaching or management, or what have you, only so many franchises are going to win a title. Indeed, only 10 NBA teams have won more than one championship.

In spite of that fact, every team in the NBA has had a signature season in some way, whether it be a championship or an NBA Finals appearance or just an unusual or unexpected number of wins in a year.

This is our look through NBA lore at the signature season for every NBA team.

Some are hard to pick because there have been so many great seasons and championships (here’s looking at you, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls), and others because there has been a dearth of organizational success, but there is a season for each team to hang their hat on.
