Is NBA parity at an all time high? (alien.top)

We’ve seen 5 different champions in the last 5 years, which hasn’t happened since the 70s. That includes firsts time wins for Toronto and Denver, and the first in 50 years for Milwaukee.

We’re also seeing other teams who have never won break out this year in the Thunder, Magic, and Twolves. It seems that more and more teams are in contention each year.

The NBA has been ruled by dynasties for most of its existence. Could the be the start of an era of parity?

There's always super teams. What was unusual about the last 15 years was seeing legitimately young superteams formed by stars colluding in free agency. Normally superteams are formed by aging stars like Olajuwan, Barkley, and Drexler, or Garnett, Piece, and Allen, making one last push for a title before the window closes on their careers. Another unusual thing was seeing guys jump from one contender to a rival contender instead of trying to, well, beat their rival. Stuff like Durant going to GSW, or Allen going from Boston to Miami, just didn't used to happen
