The San Antonio Spurs haven't been to the NBA Finals in six years and have yet to win back-to-back titles. But they're still a dynasty. The Miami Heat have made two consecutive Finals appearances, winning last year. Tonight Miami looks to send Indiana fishing and try their hand at becoming a dynasty. Whether the Spurs play the Heat or the Pacers, neither team will ever make this list. With two dynasties possibly meeting up in this year's Finals, we figure we take a look back at the teams that weren't supposed to play for a championship. There's the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers (http://www.complex.com/sports/2013/06/the-worst-teams-to-make-the-nba-finals/philadelphia-76ers) that took advantage of a weak Eastern Conference and got waxed by the Lakers in five games. You also have a couple teams like the '57 St. Louis Hawks (http://www.complex.com/sports/2013/06/the-worst-teams-to-make-the-nba-finals/st-louis-hawks)and the '59 Minneapolis Lakers (http://www.complex.com/sports/2013/06/the-worst-teams-to-make-the-nba-finals/minneapolis-lakers) that reached the mountaintop despite being below .500. Check out the rest of the Worst Teams to Make the NBA Finals.
