What conference has won the most NBA champonships the eastern or western?
The NBA Western Conference has won slightly more championships, 23 to the Eastern Conference's 21. Top teams on each side are the Los Angeles Lakers with 11 championships and the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls both tied with 6.
Has any NBA team come back to win a series after being down 3 games to none?
Actually, a handful of teams have done so. The most famous recent example would be the 2004 Boston Red Sox
against the heavily favoured Yankees.
The first team to do so was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leaves. Toronto came back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Detroit Red Wings, capturing the Stanley Cup.
The New York Islanders overcame this same deficit in 1975 NHL Quarterfinal Round defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Islanders ultimately came up short losing to the Philadelphia Flyers
in the Semifinal Round. The Islanders are the only team to pull this comeback and not make it to the finals.
The Red Sox,
as already mentioned were the third franchise to overcome the long odds. The first and only team in the MLB History to do so, and the only non-hockey
franchise to do so as well.
The most recent that I am aware of is the Philadelphia Flyers
in 2010. The Flyers
took down the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Flyers
also ultimately came up short falling to the Chicago Blackhawks
in the Stanley Cup Finals that year.
This feat has never been accomplished yet in the NBA. Hope this helps.
