Charter a Private Jet to the NBA Finals

There’s nothing like the thrill of watching a 27-foot shot taken by your favorite player swish through the net and win the game – except watching that favorite player take that shot in a quest for the national championship.

Every year, 30 National Basketball Association teams that are filled with the best shooters, dunkers, passers and rebounders in the game play 82 regular season games with the hopes of getting into the playoffs.

The 16 teams that make it into the playoffs must then win the best of seven games in three series before getting down to two teams in the championship series where they must once again win the best of seven games.

The NBA Championship, where the best-of-the-best face off.
