A 7th or 8th seed has NEVER won the NBA championship and only and handful have advanced past the first round in NBA history

Just for argument's sake, in the 1998-99 season the Knicks made the finals as an 8th seed. That was a lockout shortened season. I can't see any 8th seed making the Finals in any format they choose this year. I can't see the Knicks making the finals any time soon.
