Back-to-Back Championship Count

Measures the number of times a franchise won consecutive (back-to-back) championships. Repeating is extraordinarily difficult — it requires maintaining motivation, health, and chemistry while every opponent targets you. Only a handful of franchises have ever repeated. Each instance of back-to-back (or three-peat) counts. The Bulls had two three-peats, counting as at least 4 "repeat" instances.
