Good catch, shelshor. The City of Baltimore has a Championship but the Franchise Packers/Zephyrs/Bullets/Wizards only has 1 Championship. I'll make the correction.
My favorite that didn't survive was the Providence Steamrollers
I will split one hair with you tho:
The Baltimore Bullets franchise that won the le in 1948 folded after the 1954-55 season and no current franchise claims it, not even the Packers/Zephyrs/Bullets/Wizards:

I certainly don't equate regular season division les to anything worthwhile, but I thought this was a somewhat interesting number -- particularly because the numbers are skewed in favor of a handful of teams over such a long period of time.
Since the merger the 23 of the 30 current teams have won at least 1 division le, but only 3 franchises have won more than 10. In order the teams with the most division les since the merger are:
15 -- Spurs, Lakers
11 -- Celtics
8 -- Bucks
7 -- Pistons, Jazz
6 -- Bulls, Heat, 76'ers, Sonics
5 -- Nuggets, Suns,
4 -- Rockets, Pacers, Nets, Knicks, Trailblazers
3 -- Hawks, Magic, Kings
1 -- Mavericks, Timberwolves, Bullets/Wizards
0 -- Bobcats, Cavaliers, Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, Hornets, Raptors
I specifically remember crying. Lots of crying. Or was that in 2003?
Don't you think it's a little funny you put an asteriks for when you beat the Lakers. Considering the history between both of the teams.
It's almost like you think there is actually a rivalry.
Corrected with original Baltimore Franchise separated from the Wizard franchise.

And that's the difference between the Lakers and Spurs. We would never even think about division les.
Not to talk about past championships (because it's where you're at right now that counts), but I do find it funny that many Spurs fans dog the Mavs and Suns about past championships.
I didn't put an asterisk on any of the Spurs' seasons, nor did I put an asterisk on when the Spurs beat the Lakers. I was responding to your post. In two of the three Spurs' championship seasons, the Spurs defeated the Lakers. Now, you really do look like a troll.
Why? Because I call somebody out for putting an asteriks when they beat the Lakers. I never come in here talking about past championships. (Something your fellow Spurs fans do all the time) If you think I'm a troll because I call out Laker hating and homerism... then
Post my quote where I say I put an asterisk on when the Spurs beat the Lakers. The only thing I did was respond to your statement.Why?

I wasn't quoting you to begin with.
Who are you quoting?
Read it again.
Pwn3d.I wasn't quoting you to begin with.
Here you go smart guy. I was quoting Viva, you were quoting me.
Therefore, this post above responding to my quote was misplaced. Your question, was addressed to me, but yet...it wasn't. Yeah, that makes sense.
Your such a dumbass it's funny. I quoted Viva you quoted my response to him, so you obviously agree with him or you wouldn't have defended his post. But whatever.
Anyways this is stupid who cares.
You spend enough time talking on Spurstalk to make me think otherwise. Are there really no Lakers boards out there?It's almost like you think there is actually a rivalry.
Are you speaking to anyone here in a general sense...or are you speaking to me this time?
About being a dumbass. You.
Homer boards suck. And I seem to see alot of fans of other teams here to.
LOL at the Laker fan making up just for the sake of an argument.Your such a dumbass it's funny. I quoted Viva you quoted my response to him, so you obviously agree with him or you wouldn't have defended his post. But whatever.
Anyways this is stupid who cares.
^^ Well I guess most Spurs fans must just not be that smart.
