Since 1980 in the Logo how many Different Teams you think have won Championships? Ok how many Teams since 1980 have won Multiple Championships and who would be your Teams in the Decades of 80s, 90s, and 2Ks? The Numbers the Bluedude is about to unveil is absolutely and unequivocally unmatched in Professional Team Sports.

First we will count How many Different Teams have won a Chip since 1980. Then we will look into who has the Most Chips since 1980. Then we will talk Dynasty Mode for a Few Franchises as they reeled off more than a Few in a Single Decade. Lastly we will talk about why the Parity between Franchises is in Despair and how it may still stay the same.

Note: Since 1980 in the LOGO 33 Championships

Teams that have won at least One Chip since 1980:

Only 9 Teams
Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Pistons, Spurs, Rockets, Mavericks, Heat, Sixers

Which Teams have the Most Chips since 1980:

Lakers 10
Bulls 6
Celtics 4
Spurs 4
Pistons 3
Heat 2
Rockets 2
Mavs 1
Sixers 1

Dynasty in the 80s: Both the Lakers with Showtime and the C's with the Big 3 (Bird, McHale, and Chief) dominated the 80s winning 8 Chips between them.

Dynasty in the 90s: Air Jordan, Mr. Pip 33, and the Zen Master with 6 Chips and they broke them up after 6 for no apparent Reason..well Money.

Dynasty in 2Ks: Lakers and Spurs won 8 between them with the Lakeshow 5 and Spurs with 3. (Spurs also won the Chip in the 1999 Strike-Shortened Season)

Looking at these Numbers is startling as arguably the Best Players ever graced the Logo in these last 33 Years. Back then the Biggest Sticking Point was that the Free Agency and the Cash wasn't crazy and Teams stayed Together forever. Then King James opens up a Can of Worms when he and Bosh decide to go join Wade County in 305 for the Super Team in the Logo. Now to stop that the New CBA has agreed to throw in that Huge Luxury Tax Hit when you go over the Cap. Teams will either be fiscally responsible or you will be cutting Checks so Big your Franchise will be in the Red.

Case in Point the James Harden from the Thunder Blockbuster Trade. The Thunder knew they could only offer so much money with @kdTREY5 and Uncle Russ having signed Max Contracts already. The Thunder were hoping that the Loyalty and Friendships would have kept Harden in Thunder Colors but last time I looked $80 Million is greater than $52 Million. This almost reminded me of the Boozer Deal a Few Years back when $36 Million was offered from the Cavs and at the last minute the Jazz came in with $68 Million. Booz took $68 Million and he was called a Trader because there was a Hand Shake Deal in place...Yeah Right! Like Both Sides always say..it's a Business and treat it as such with No Hang Ups No Regrets.

Now with the New Luxury Tax Threshold Teams will start to look like the Teams from the Past as Free Agency for Players and Teams won't be as easy as it use to be.

Back to the Numbers up Top...

9 Teams
33 Championships
Lakers and Bulls accounting for 16 of the 33..
Celtics and Spurs have 8 Between them...  

24 Chips Won between the Bulls, Lakers Celtics, and Spurs out of 33 Chips Possible....

And who is back at the Top with the Heat...the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls if Derrick Rose was Healthy....

The Heat have Two as they try to join an Elite Class if they can at least get to 4-5 Chips...




Note: Total Chips from NBA.com..Calculations done by the Bluedude for Bluedude Sportstalk..
