With the Warriors winning their 5th consecutive Western Conference finals last night, we once again have a Western Conference champion that is either a California team or a Texas team.
The last NBA champion from the Western Conference that was not a California team or a Texas team was the 1979 Seattle Supersonics.
The last Western Conference finals that did not have either a California team or a Texas team was 1996 Seattle Supersonics defeating Utah Jazz.
The last Western Conference champion that was not a California team or a Texas team was the 2012 Oklahoma City Thunder.
From 1980-1995, the Western Conference finals that did not have either a California team or a Texas team were 1990 Portland Trailblazers defeating Phoenix Suns, 1992 Portland Trailblazers defeating Utah Jazz, 1993 Phoenix Suns defeating Seattle Supersonics.
From 1997-2011, the Western Conference champions that were not a California team or a Texas team were the 1997 and 1998 Utah Jazz.
33 of the last 40 Western Conference finals have been won by either a California team or a Texas team. Of those 33 Western Conference champions, 21 went on to win the NBA championship. The 2019 Golden State Warriors may become the Western Conference
