After the MLB Snellen Chart I got some requests for an NBA version as well so here it is (and to be updated in a few weeks after this year’s championship). This graphic includes NBA and BAA championships, not ABA (sorry Pacers and Nets since this moves you to the bottom). I’ve also included the teams which won a championship but have since moved to another city (the St. Louis Hawks (now Atlanta Hawks), the Seattle SuperSonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) and the Rochester Royals (now Sacramento Kings))

The NBA is certainly a league of power franchises, with just 9 teams winning 88% of the championships and the Celtics/Lakers owning over 50% of the championships. We’ll see if this trend continues in a few weeks.

Teams below the top bar have not won any championships while teams below the lowest bar have also never made a finals appearance.
