before I take this seriously, where would the Pacers rank and can this be filtered by FTA per game since most series don't go 7 games?

Yea, is this most total FTA, or is this most FTA per game? Those are different situations.

There are a lot of ways to rationalise this but this is actually hilarious.

OKC 214 FTA in 7 games at 99 Pace
2006 Miami Heat 207 FTA in 6 games at 90 Pace
First team I looked at.

Two game 7s and a Finals win. That's 14 games across two series alone.

Could also sort champions by Free Throw Rate, but I kept it simple.

Miami did not deserve to win the championship in 06- worst officiated NBA Finals ever
