The number 1 ranked NBA seed not conference or division.
Michael Jordan's first Eastern Conference Championship was in the 1990-91 NBA season. That season the Bulls swept the Detroit Pistons 4 games to 0, to go on to the NBA Finals, were they would defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 4 games to 1 and win the NBA Championship.
Denver Nuggets
it goes 1 vs 8 2 vs 7 3 vs 6 4vs 5
A 15 seed has never played a 1 seed. Normally, a 16 seed is matched against a 1 seed in the first round, and through the 2009 tournament, the 1 seed has won the first round game 100 times out of 100 tries. A 15 seed has beaten a 2 seed four times, but has never advanced beyond the second round.
Arizona was the first to beat three No 1 seed teams in a NCAA Tournament.
The first NBA champions were the Philadelphia Warriors. They won the first NBA championship (back when it was still the BAA) in the 1946-47 season, defeating the Chicago Stags 4 games to 1 in the finals.
A 16 seed has never defeated a 1 seed, which is their first opponent of the round of 64
2 seed. 1 has never lost.

Yes. Several times. One of the most recent times was in 2007 when Golden State Warriors beat the heavily favored Dallas Mavericks.
