as of January 18, 2025About the belt.
The championship belt (not an actual thing) is based around the idea of the winners of last season's NBA finals starting the current season with a championship belt. They have it until they lose a game, at which point it goes to the team that beat them and so on.
How we got here.
The Boston Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship so they start the season with the belt. From there, here's a breakdown of every time it's changed hands.
