The Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics to win their fourth NBA title.
In Boston, the Warriors won 103-90 to win the series 4-2.
They are the first team to go from the league's worst side to a championship in two years after finishing the season with a dismal 15-50 record.
The NBA's Most Valuable Player for the first time was Stephen Curry.
He averaged 31.2 points in the six games and scored 34 points in Thursday's victory.
The Golden State Warriors won the NBA Championship for the first time in four years, thanks in part to the 18 points and 15 points from Andrew and Jordan.
In the past two seasons, they missed out on the play-offs, despite winning the title in 2015 and 2017.
While Curry and Klay Thompson were injured during the season, Kevin Durant left as a free agent.
Thompson scored 12 points on Thursday as the San Francisco-based franchise won their third title in a row.
Curry was the seventh overall draft pick by the Warriors in 2009.
You know how hard it is to win at this level and that's why you always have a doubt.
The Celtics led 14-2 after four minutes and 22-16 at the end of the first quarter before the Warriors went on a 21-0 run to take a 37-22 halftime lead.
He gestured to his ring finger when Curry hit three three-pointers in the first six minutes of the third quarter.
Curry said that it means a lot when you get to this stage because you know how to win.
Everyone who has been involved knows what that is about. It's different for sure.
