NBA: Comparing the eastern and western conferences
Article Toolspersonally i believe the west is the stronger conference. It is tougher to compete in and has more winning teams. The east has produced its share of winning teams though so the west does not have a stranglehold on the league. I prefer the east because i am a Floria boy and one of the few remaining magic fans. because of this i am slightly prejudiced against western conference teams in general. Regardless i will endeavor to lay down some hard facts. Since the league started in 1949 the western conference has won a combined 25 NBA titles, in contrast the east has won 33 NBA titles. In light of this i concluded that the west produced more winners but the east more champions. Most people only look at present but sometimes you also have to look at the past to make an accurate opinion. The west has dominance now but in the past during the celtic era the east ruled the league. things have changed and will change again as teams grow and wane
