Longest Active Conference Finals Droughts
1. Washington Wizards: 46 Seasons (Last Appearance 1978-79)
The Wizards haven’t made the conference finals since the 1970s. For context, Jimmy Carter was the President of the United States, a gallon of gas cost $0.86 and Apocalypse Now released in theaters. That’s how long it’s been since Washington has been within even four games of reaching the NBA Finals. That year, after defeating the San Antonio Spurs in the Eastern Conference finals, the Wizards lost to the Seattle SuperSonics in five games in the NBA Finals after having defeated the Sonics in seven games in the Finals the year before.
