Reply to comment by twintig5 in [OC] North American cities by number of major sports championships (Updated December 2022) by twintig5

And they peaked at the wrong time, when Jordan was in his prime, so there was no way we were going to get past the Bulls. The one year he retired for baseball we made the Championship and lost to the Rockets. It’s been a sad 50 year ride as a fan.

Look at all the cities whose NBA team peaked at the exact same time as Michael Jordan, with the majority not being able to compete post-Jordan:

• New York City (Knicks)

• Seattle (Sonics)

• Portland (Blazers)

• Phoenix (Suns)

• Salt Lake City (Jazz)

• Indianapolis (Pacers)

Reckon without Jordan, two or three of these cities would’ve had a basketball championship by now.

Cleveland also peaked at that time, just happened to peak higher in the 2010s.
