2010s NBA champions

The 2010s produced 10 NBA champions: 2010 Los Angeles Lakers; 2011 Dallas Mavericks; 2012 Miami Heat; 2013 Miami Heat; 2014 San Antonio Spurs; 2015 Golden State Warriors; 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers; 2017 Golden State Warriors; 2018 Golden State Warriors; 2019 Toronto Raptors.

No single team swept the whole decade, but repeat winners shaped the period.

Franchise names in this window included Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, and others. City moves and mergers matter when you compare counts. Minneapolis titles count toward the Lakers. Syracuse titles count toward the 76ers. Philadelphia Warriors titles count toward Golden State.

The league itself changed during the 2010s: team count, playoff length, and style of play all shifted. Context on the individual champion pages matters as much as the final score of the Finals.
