The NBA Finals are where, over the years, so many greats of the game have made their mark on history.

The Finals have also had some iconic logos and fans on Twitter were asked about the player they think of when they see one of the most memorable ones.

“Kobe easily, playing the Celtics to be specific.” this fan says the logo reminds him of Kobe Bryant’s incredible battles with the Boston Celtics.

“Ngl Heat LeBron.” stated a fan who is reminded of LeBron James during his days with the Miami Heat when he sees it.

“Kobe and LeBron. The Warriors’ front 3 are a close 3rd!!” this fan has both LeBron and Kobe come to mind, with the Warriors big 3 of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green coming third.

“Even as a Celtics fan, I gotta say, Kobe… Definitely miss the Celtics-Lakers rivalry being as big as it used to be when I was a little kid. Grew up watching Paul Pierce and that 2008 team so seeing Bean ball out too was always special.” this Celtics fan is also reminded of Kobe, as he seems to be the name most associated with the logo.

“Duncan.” quite a few fans also pointed to Tim Duncan who had his fair share of memorable moments on the big stage.

The logo was in use from 2010 to 2017 in the Finals, with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers beating the Boston Celtics in the first year. LeBron James, meanwhile, was in the Finals every year from 2011 to 2017, so it’s not a surprise that he was another name that came up. Tim Duncan and the Warriors’ Big 3 made multiple appearances in that time as well, hence some associate the logo with them.


Who Makes The Finals This Season?

This NBA season has probably been the most unpredictable of them all. The Western Conference is impossible to predict, with a host of teams having a chance at making it. The Denver Nuggets have led the way for much of the season but some question marks regarding them have emerged in these last few weeks. The Phoenix Suns with Kevin Durant seemed to be the favorites but injuries could end up being their downfall. 

The Lakers, meanwhile, are on the ascendancy and are a serious threat as per Draymond Green. Green’s Golden State Warriors, who are the defending champions, are also in the mix as are a few more teams and the playoffs should be quite interesting in the West. As for the East, things are a bit more normal, as the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and Philadelphia 76ers have emerged as the favorites. It is hard to say who comes out on top from these three, however, and it might just come down to who has the top seed.
