The '''Eastern Conference''' is one of two [[Athletic conference|conferences]] that make up the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA), the other being the [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]]. Both conferences consist of 15 teams organized into three [[Division (sport)|divisions]]. The Eastern Conference comprises the [[Atlantic_Division_(NBA)|Atlantic]], [[Central_Division_(NBA)|Central]], and [[Southeast_Division_(NBA)|Southeast]] Divisions.

The current divisional alignment was adopted at the start of the [[2004–05 NBA season|2004–05 season]], when the now [[Charlotte Hornets]] began play as the NBA's 30th franchise. This necessitated the move of the [[New Orleans Pelicans]] from the Eastern Conference's [[Central Division (NBA)|Central Division]] to the newly created [[Southwest Division (NBA)|Southwest Division]] of the [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]].

The NBA first started awarding an Eastern Conference championship trophy during the [[2000–01 NBA season|2000–01 season]], renaming it after Hall of Famer [[Bob Cousy]] in the [[2021–22 NBA season|2021–22 season]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Golliver |first=Ben |date=May 12, 2022 |title=NBA redesigns Finals trophy, adds awards named after Magic Johnson, Larry Bird |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/05/12/nba-finals-larry-o-brien-trophy-new/ |work=[[The Washington Post]] |quote=To complete the postseason collection, the NBA updated its conference championship trophies, first created in 2001, and renamed them after Hall of Famers Bob Cousy (for the East) and Oscar Robertson (for the West)}}</ref> Also in 2021–22, the league began awarding the Larry Bird Trophy to the [[NBA Conference Finals Most Valuable Player Award|Eastern Conference Finals Most Valuable Player]], named after Hall of Famer [[Larry Bird]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Powell |first1=Shaun |title=NBA introduces new lineup of postseason hardware |url=https://www.nba.com/news/nba-introduces-new-lineup-of-postseason-hardware |website=NBA.com |access-date=May 12, 2022 |date=May 12, 2022}}</ref>
