When last season’s Finals arrived, fans are eager to see who will win the best-of-seven contest between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics. We have also seen different formats being used throughout the sport’s history. Since 1946-47, this seven-game series process has been used in the NBA. Following the 1947 regular season, 11 teams had played at least 60 regular-season games, following which the inaugural Basketball Association of America Playoffs were held. 

A best-of-three system was then applied to the playoff rounds. However, in 1995, the Division Finals were moved to best-of-five, changing the format of the NBA. This was followed by adding the best-of-seven rule in 1958. It was not until 1968 that the entire NBA followed the same best-of-seven system across both the playoffs and the Finals.

In spite of the fact that it was changed over time, the best-of-seven format was mainly adopted because it meant that broadcasters and teams playing at home would earn more money. 

Fans often come up with their own match-ups to see who they think would win in a best-of-seven series. And that is no different from a recent tweet, that pitted NBA players who have previously dated a Kardashian against players who have dated Kendall Jenner before.

Those on the list include James Harden, Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend on the Kardashian list. Rick Fox, who is also Khloe’s ex-boyfriend. And Lamar Odom, Khloe’s ex-husband. After only one month of dating, they got married in 2009. Further, Kris Humphries was the ex-husband of Kim Kardashian. Last but not least, is Khloe’s ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.
