The New York Knickerbockers, rating 2.14 (since 1946-47)

New York, the self-styled Mecca of basketball. It is known for its fans and their knowledge of the game and their rowdiness. It is also known for its sometimes questionable decision making. For instance, they named their franchise after a pair of pants... not only that, but in the only sport of the four major American team sports where they don't actually wear pants in the game. For a self-proclaimed basketball Mecca, they actually

The Phoenix Suns, rating 2.14 (since 1968-69)

If the Philadelphia 76ers are the "Franchise of What Might Have Been," then the Phoenix Suns are the "Little Engine that Almost Could". Most pundits refer to them as the best franchise that have never won a championship, because while they're actually very consistently good in the playoffs, they're just always the second or third best team in the conference.

Most of the league's best teams have maintained the core their rosters, while the faces of the have-nots are changing more rapidly than we've seen in years. The chance for

The Chicago Bulls, rating 2.52 (since 1966-67)

In fifth? The greatest dynasty of the modern era? Let's just keep in perspective that I'm talking about the entire history of a franchise, and not just a decade of dominance. The previous four have been dominant franchises for multiple decades. Chicago's years of greatness are limited to the years Michael Jordan played for the team. But oh how they dominated, and the bandwagon during that time was perhaps greater than any franchise has
