Eight different teams have won the NBA title over the past eight seasons - Toronto Raptors, LA Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, and now the New York Knicks.
What's more the loser of the last four NBA Championship Finals - San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat - could all win next year and still extend that streak.
That's parity.
Not even during the 1970s, when no team could win back-to-back championships and eight different NBA teams won a title during the decade (1970-79), was such a streak equalled or even approached. There were still two teams - the New York Knicks ('70 and '73) and Boston Celtics ('74 and '76) - who won the title twice in that decade.
The NBA has quietly become less dynastic/top-heavy in the last few years. Bucks, Raptors, Nuggets, Thunder, now the Knicks. Not possible when it was always the Lakers, the Heat, Lebron, the Warriors, or the Spurs for so long.
