The Kings again proved too strong on Wednesday night, scoring a 97-88 victory in game three at Qudos Bank Arena.
It came after the Kings won game one by 17 points and game two by four points in the five-match series.
The Kings broke a 17-year championship drought and Xavier Cooks was awarded the grand final MVP award.
Post-game coach Scott Roth said he was proud of his team and the way they'd influenced the Apple Isle.
"It's the 500,000 people in Tasmania these guys have impacted," he said.
"They've impacted this sport in a way that maybe none of us could imagine.
"To rally an entire state, not a city, but an entire state and the impact these gentlemen have had and the way they've carried themselves during the course of the season has been remarkable.
"Hopefully we've impacted youth basketball and made the state proud."
The JackJumpers suffered a blow in the hours before the game with forward Fabijan Krslovic and guard Jack McVeigh ruled out due to illness.
Roth explained the JackJumpers also had players toughing it out on court.
He said Jock Perry gave great service after being sick recently and missing practice.
"And Jarred Bairstow was running around on one leg with a sprained ankle and just trying to fight through it and guys just step in and fight and battle and scrap and that's all we ask of them," Roth added.
The JackJumpers came out with great intent in the first quarter in front of a 16,000-strong crowd.
Guards Josh Magette and Josh Adams, who shot back-to-back threes, notched the team's first 10 points.
Sydney talls Jarell Martin, Makur Maker and Cooks looked good at the other end against the undersized JackJumpers. Maker executed two massive dunks.
Tasmania made four steals for the term which made up for the fact they were being out-rebounded.
Two steals in defence led to free-throw points at the offensive end.
Jarrad Weeks and skipper Clint Steindl scored from the land of plenty in the closing minutes to have the Tassie side up 25-22 at the first break.
The JackJumpers had unlikely heroes in the second quarter.
MiKyle McIntosh and Perry made two threes each.
Tassie put on 12 unanswered points through Adams, McIntosh and Steindl trebles.
Sharp shooter Martin and Cooks continued to prove a handful for Tasmania and kept the Kings in the hunt.
A Shaun Bruce three helped their cause.
Big man Perry, who wasn't drawn on much this season, provided the surprise with his threes late in the term.
Tasmania led 48-47 at half-time after Sydney's Ian Clark hit a three just before the buzzer.
Scoring dried up for both sides in the third period.
The JackJumpers lifted in the rebounds department thanks to the likes of McIntosh, Perry and Sam McDaniel.
Weeks and Magette sunk triples as Clark kept the scoreboard ticking over for the Kings.
Captain Steindl grabbed for his calf and went to the bench in a worry for the visitors as they went to the final change 69-66 up.
Steindl was back on for the start of the final term to help his team push for victory.
The JackJumpers missed a couple of good looks early while Martin and Dejan Vasiljevic made buckets at the other end to level the scores (71-71).
Adams got the JJs back up but then Clark nailed a three to put the Kings in front. Clark led his team to a dominant 31-19 final quarter.
Launceston's Sejr Deans was brought on for the final 25 seconds of the game.
Roth said his side couldn't put it together for four quarters in the grand finals series.
"We had moments against these guys all season," he said.
"With Will Maynay being out. I don't like to make excuses, but just his shot-blocking and athletic ability around the rim against a team like this would be impactful.
"One of the games we actually beat them was with Maynay but we've haven't been able to solve very much with these guys.
"They're so talented and they've just got scorers and players all over the place."
