In other words, if your team didn't have Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James or Dirk Nowitzki, you aint winning a 'ship.

Oops, left out Shaq and Kobe. Bonehead moment for me...still, that's 12 guys covering the last 29 championships. Thirty teams, twelve roster spots per team per year, some turnover with rookies and retirements year to year..the number of NBA players over the last 30 years is in the low four-figures, and if you didn't have one of those 12 guys, no championship.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Spurs were a dynasty? :lol

The never even made it back to the NBA Finals after winning a ring

[TheCultOfPersonality]

One more than the Suns, Clippers, Kings, Wolves, Nuggets, Jazz, Grizzlies, Hornets, Pacers, Cavs, Bobcats, Magic, Raptors and Nets.

Well technically the Kings franchise have a NBA championship.

[Findog]

Well technically the Kings franchise have a NBA championship.

How many Rochester Royals fans are still around?

[Spurtacus]

David Stern became commissioner in 1984.

[AussieFanKurt]

less than a 1/3 of teams have won a championship in 28 years? Wow..

[racm]

Tbh it's because you need a first ballot HOFer to win a ring these days

No more stuff like the '75 Warriors or the Jo Jo White led Celtics, when Magic and Bird came along it was all about superstars

[Jacob1983]

The NHL has had almost twice as many different champions in that period. Freakin Carolina has won the Stanley Cup. Can you imagine if the Bobcats won the NBA championship? David Stern would kill himself.

[Clipper Nation]

The NHL is also heading towards their third lockout tbh and is wasting untold money on propping up a failed hockey team in Glendale.... it evens out, B.

[Jacob1983]

The NHL had a great postseason this year tbh.

I am saying that the NHL currently has parity. The NBA does not and honestly has never really had parity. Excluding a portion of the 1970s, parity has never existed in the NBA.

[Latarian Milton]

san antonio was like the only team based in a small market that had won championships through the time, and even with that said, san antonio still has the 7th biggest population of all major US cities. NBA is more of a business rather than sport and that fat old faggot was damn right about this shit
