Winningest NBA Franchises

[Xylus]

Can anyone tell me who the top 10 winningest franchises are in NBA history? After doing a brief Googlequest, I didn't come up with any relevant information.

the lakers are number 1 for winning % i think

[Xylus]

The Lakers are #1, the Celtics are #2. Beyond that, I'm sketchy. Spurs might be #3..

Winningest as in total winning percentage, or in total les?

Total winning percentage. As in, wins and losses in the regular and post season.

Spurs are #2.

Last time i remember it was.

1. Lakers
2. Celtics
3. Spurs
4. Bulls

I think the Spurs are close to taking over the Celts.

I think the Suns are higher than the Bulls but I could be wrong.

[Kobayagi]

I think the Spurs are close to taking over the Celts.

How could that be? It's not like they are closing in on them the last two seasons.

good point. I should have said they were very close. I think they may have actually moved in to second spot at one stage during Bostons last lottery season maybe?

But i would guess the Celtics are back in 2nd position if that were the case.

Depends on what you consider winningest?

I consider winningest to be # of Championships. Utah has had some pretty amazing seasons but i don't consider them to be winningest at all b.c they have 0

The Spurs overtook the celtics in the 05-06 or 06-07 season (it was in November I think).
