Playing in 20 finals? There are only 5 players in active service, James has 55 games, and Curry has more than 30 games in Dream Chasing Shen.

Last season, the Thunder and Pacers reached the finals respectively. For most players in the team, they reached the finals for the first time in their careers. Only Caruso, Siakam, Nesmith, Thomas Bryant and others have had experience in the finals before. Since only two teams can reach the finals each season, most players in the league have almost no experience in the finals.

It is not easy to be on the stage of the finals, and it is even more impossible for ordinary people to be able to play in more than 20 finals. Among the active players, only five players have played more than 20 games in the finals, namely James, Curry, Thompson, Zhu Meng, and Tristan Thompson. It is worth mentioning that these five players are Cavaliers and Warriors, and have participated in the finals for four consecutive years.

James has reached the finals in a total of 10 times in his career, including eight consecutive years from 2011 to 2018, so his finals have reached 55 games, not only ranking first in active service, but also far ahead of other players. In history, James is also tied for fourth in the finals with Jerry West, second only to Bill Russell (70 games), Sam Jones (64 games), and Jabbar (56 games).

Curry, Thompson, and Dream Chasing are all core members of the Warriors Dynasty. They have joined forces to reach the finals 6 times, including reaching the finals for five consecutive years from 2015 to 2019, and reaching the finals again in 2022. The three of them also played more than 30 games in the finals, but they were suspended for one game because of dream hunting and Thompson missed one game due to injury, so they all played 33 games, one less than Curry.

It is also worth mentioning that Curry, Thompson and Zhu Meng jointly won 4 championships, which happened to tie with James and tied for the players with the largest number of active championships. Moreover, they have 3 championships all won by James, and James also has a championship that they won by them.

Tristan Thompson is also an important member of the Cavaliers' finals for four consecutive years, so the number of appearances in the finals has reached 22 games. Although Irving and Love are also members of the Cavaliers' Big Three, both of them missed some finals due to injury, so they played less than 20 games in the finals, but they also reached 19 and 18 games respectively. Although Irving left the Cavaliers in 2017, he reached the finals with the Mavericks in 2024. Love also reached the finals with the Heat in 2023.
