In the past 79 years, there are still 10 teams in the NBA that have not been able to break the no-crow curse. Who can win the first championship first?

It has been 79 years since the NBA was officially established in 1946. During this period, the Celtics and the Lakers all won 35 championships together. In addition, the Bulls, Spurs and Warriors have also won at least 5 championships. Because of these giants, there are still 10 of the 30 teams in the league that have not won the first championship in team history until now, and 5 of them have not even entered the finals. So let’s take a look at which teams are here!

10. Magic

Magic are a team with better luck in NBA history. They have had many opportunities to change the team's destiny through drafts. They drew the No. 1 pick and selected O'Neal in 1992, won the No. 1 pick and selected Howard in 2004, and selected No. 1 pick and Banchero in 2022. O'Neal and Howard have led the team to the Finals. Among them, O'Neal is the most regrettable. He helped the team reach the first finals in team history when he was a third-grade rookie. However, after his contract expired in 1996, the team was unwilling to give him a maximum salary. As a result, O'Neal turned around and joined the Lakers. In the end, the Magic could only watch him lead the Lakers to three consecutive championships.

9. The Grizzlies, who were only established in the 1990s, started their home court in Vancouver and later moved to Memphis. However, no matter where they play, the performance of the Grizzlies has never improved much, and this is also related to the quality of the stars they have. Before Morant, players of Gasol Jr., Randolph, Conley were already the best in their team history. The Grizzlies are about to face reorganization again. Whether it is Morant, Bain, Jaren Jackson Jr., they are not necessarily in the team's future plans.

8. The Hornets, which are younger than the Grizzlies, have the stars they have in their team history, and now the Hornets' scoring champion is still Kemba Walker, who has only been selected for the best team once in his peak period. After changing the new boss, the Hornets are still far from the playoffs. The team's young players like Ball and Miller all have their own obvious shortcomings. At present, it is difficult to become a playoff-level team around them.

7. The Pelicans

The biggest star they have ever had in the history of the Pelicans should be Paul. He almost won the MVP in 2008, but even Paul, he failed to lead the team to the division finals. Later, the Pelicans selected Thick Brow again, and he was awarded the title of "Empty Slash Group Master" here. Until the end, he couldn't stand losing and applied for a trade. In 2019, the Pelicans once again chose Tsai En with the No. 1 pick, but he didn't expect that he was actually a "glass man". He has been playing and stopping in the league for many years. Because the plan to build a team is not ideal, the Pelicans are about to enter the reconstruction again.

6. The Nets once led by Kidd, the Nets reached the NBA Finals twice in the early 21st century, losing to the Lakers for the first time and losing to the Spurs for the second time. The gap between them and the opponent was very obvious in these two losses, so there was no regret. In contrast, due to injuries in 2021, the Nets finally stopped in the second round. That year, Irving was reimbursed in advance and Harden fought with injuries. In the end, even though Durant played an epic performance, the team was still eliminated. Since then, the three giants have left the team one after another, so the team has no choice but to enter the reconstruction again.

5. After losing to the Bulls in the finals in 1993, it took the Suns 28 years to return to this stage. In the 2021 finals, the Suns once took a 2-0 lead, but they lost four consecutive games and were reversed. Later, in order to continue to compete for the championship, the Suns made a lot of trouble. They first traded Durant and then exchanged for Bill. However, after this series of operations, the team's strength declined more and more obviously. They didn't even enter the playoffs this season. For the Suns, they may usher in a turning point again in the offseason. Whether to continue to compete for the championship around their current core or to demolish and rebuild, this is a very critical decision for the management.

4. Clippers

Although the Clippers were established very early, the team's record in the playoffs has always been very bleak. Even Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr., who had Paul, Griffin and Jordan Jr. during the "Air-Catching City" period, they had never broken through the second round of the playoffs. In 2019, the Clippers found Leonard and George, and then in 2021 they finally touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately, due to injuries, the Clippers have not played in the playoffs in health over the years. Last year, George left the team and Harden became the team's number one core. Under his leadership, the Clippers performed more than expected. Moreover, this year's playoff Leonard is the healthiest year since 2021, so they are not without hope to go further.

3. Timberwolves

In the history of the Timberwolves, they have never even entered the finals. Last year, under the leadership of Edwards, the Timberwolves scored the second Western Conference Final in team history, but was finally swept by the 1-4 gentlemen. The Timberwolves first entered the Western Conference Finals in 2004. Garnett was at its peak at that time, but in the end they were unable to make up for the situation, and they were eventually eliminated by their opponents 2-4 2-4.

2. The Jazz

Since the Jazz were founded, they have reached two finals. At that time, their core was still the "Utah Double Devils" Karl Malone and Stockton. Under the leadership of these two, the Jazz won the Western Conference championship for two consecutive seasons in 1997 and 1998. However, the league was still dominated by the Bulls at that time, so the Jazz lost to the same team for two consecutive years, and the team has never returned to this stage since. The Jazz have been playing badly for three consecutive seasons. They are expected to draw the No. 1 pick this summer. If Flag can be selected, this may also be the turning point for the team's rise again.

1. Pacers

In the history of the Pacers, they are often one of the toughest teams in the East. Under the leadership of Miller and others, the team also reached the finals in 2000. Later, the Pacers' core was changed one after another. In the 1910s, with the help of George and others, the team also had the opportunity to break out of the East. Unfortunately, the Heat were a mountain in front of other teams in the East at that time, so the Pacers lost to them for two consecutive years. Later, the Pacers did not perform as well as they used to be. Fortunately, the arrival of Halliburton, Siakam and others brought the team back to the ranks of the Eastern Conference strong teams, but at least now, they still have a big gap with the champion team.
