NBA Finals
Since 2001, the NBA has made a commitment to giving back to the city of each conference champion during the NBA Finals. These projects, including the creation and/or renovation of basketball courts, libraries, and technology centers, are designed to leave a positive lasting impact in the respective cities. As part of the celebration of the each team’s success, these projects are officially unveiled to the community during an event that features players and coaches from each team as well as NBA legends and executives.
