The 1950 NBA World Championship Series was the championship round of the National Basketball Association's first season, the 1949–50 season.
6'8" Dolph Schayes of Syracuse led his team out to the finals after a 16.8 ppg average during the regular season. George Mikan, however, averaged 27.4 ppg and led the league. Mikan would lead the Lakers past Syracuse in 6 games, providing Minneapolis with the first NBA Championship. This would be the Lakers 2nd of 5 titles in Minneapolis.
