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

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.
