by Cooper Jordan Hernick The formula that I used was this: Total championships weighted by 0.75 then / total Seasons weighted 0 .01 Then, I added normalized playoff appearances weighted 0.075, then divided that by normalize seasons which is again weighted by 0.01. Then, I added on the normalized seasons + winning percentage + division titles weighted by 0.1in their league. That's how I got the teams ranked in the order that they are. Now it's getting to the rankings. Top 5 greatest franchises of all time 1. Los Angeles Lakers Score: 4.834287037 Championships 16 Playoffs 60 you can W-L% .596% Division 32 Been around: 72 So we're going to start it off with the Los Angeles Lakers who won 16 championships over 72 years. hey've almost had a winning percentage way above 500. They've been to the playoffs for 60 years which means they've only missed the playoffs 12 times which is absolutely amazing. Also, they won their division just over half the times that they have been in the playoffs. You can’t do all this winning without great players so I made a list of some of the greats they've had in their history: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, James Worthy, Elgin Baylor, George Mikan and LeBron James. All of these players can make their case for being the greatest players of all time and have had part of their careers with the Lakers. 2. Boston Celtics Score: 4.740532505 Championships 17 Playoffs 56 W-L% 591 Division 31 Been around: 74 Boston Celtics are the winningest basketball franchise ever with 17 championships. A fun fact about the Celtics championships is that Bill Russell won most of these championships. In a 13-year run where he won 11 championships in 13 years. They have been to the playoffs 56 times out of the 74 Seasons that they have been around for. They won their division 31 times and their winning percentage 591%. In their history they've had so many great players like one of the greatest shooters of all-time Larry Bird. Also, they also had the true Paul Pierce, the sharpshooting Ray Allen and one of the greatest power forwards of all time Kevin Garnett. Which was when they had the first big three. They also had back in the day, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and the greatest winner of all time as I mentioned Bill Russell. 3. Green Bay Packers Score: 4.531671209 Championships 4 Playoffs 33 W-L% 568 Division 29 Been around: 101 The Green Bay Packers number three on this list because they are one of the oldest NFL franchises. They have one of the richest histories out of all the NFL teams by winning just 4 championships, while being in the playoffs 33 times. The packers have won their division 29 times. Also, they have been around for over a hundred years and over those a hundred years they've won 568% of their games. Over the years, they've been blessed with two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Brett Favre and now Aaron Rodgers. Who are both Elite and Hall of Fame quarterbacks. So, that's why the Packers are one of the greatest franchises. 4. Montreal Canadiens Score: 4.36819054 Championships 25 Playoffs 83 W-L% % 583 Division 37 Been around: 102 Next up we have the Montreal Canadiens and this one is going to be very hard for me to talk about because I am a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. So, the Canadiens have the most championships in the NHL with 25 championships over 102 years. The Canadians have been to the playoffs 83 times. They have won their division 37 times which is also pretty good. With a winning percentage of 583%. The Montreal Canadiens have had tons of great players. A few of the players they have had are Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Guy Lafleur and Larry Robinson. 5. New York Yankees Score: 3.862720147 Championships 27 Playoffs 65 W-L% 570% Division 19 Been around: 119 The New York Yankees probably should have been the greatest team of all time. But, that's just how numbers work. They ended up in fifth place. In their history, they've won the most championships out of all teams with 27. They made the playoffs 65 times. They have a winning percentage of a 570%. They've won their division 19 times, which is pretty good and keep in mind with all the stats that they've been around for almost 120 years. Which is absolutely amazing and it's so amazing how good the Bronx bombers have been over their history. In the New York Yankees history, they've had tons of great players. To start off George Herman “Babe” Ruth the babe one of the greatest home run hitters of all time. He is third in home runs and he is most likely the reason why the Yankees became one of the greatest franchises. But they've also had other good players like Mr November Derek Jeter and Derek Jeter's Best friend turned arch-enemy Alex Rodriguez. Who is fourth in all-time home runs, but did use steroids to get most of the home runs. They also have, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Rodger Maris, Jorge Posada, Don Mattingly, the greatest closer of all-time Mariano Rivera, mr. October Reggie Jackson and also Andy Pettitte. So with all those players, they are definitely one of the greatest teams of all time. Top 5 worst franchises of all times 1. Cleveland Browns Score: 0.6860068027 Championships 0 Playoffs 1 W-L% 459 Division 0 Been around: 21 The Cleveland Browns have always been the laughing stock of the NFL. In their history, they only made one playoff appearance. They have had a 459 winning percentage which means that they have wins less than losses. I think this probably should be lower because they have really sucked. This year they were hyped up so much to win a Superbowl but they ended up not even being above 500, with a record of 6-10. Over the years the Cleveland Browns have gotten a lot of high draft picks because of how bad they are. So, with all these picks they have a tendency of getting big name college players with big attitudes. But, turn out to be busts for example Johnny “money” Manziel and . 2. Memphis Grizzlies Score: 0.785 Championships 0 Playoffs 10 W-L% 415 Division 0 Been around: 25 The Memphis Grizzlies are on the list of the worst teams because although making the playoffs 10 times in 25 years that they've been around for. they've had a winning percentage of 415% which is extremely low and the Memphis Grizzlies they originally played in Vancouver as Vancouver Grizzlies and in Vancouver the only lasted for about five years because the people there weren't really that much into basketball and in there in one of their first years they drafted Steve Francis who demanded a trade without even playing a game because didn't want to have to go to cold weather in Vancouver. it's a real shame that happened to the Grizzlies. For these reasons that's why, they are one of the worst teams. 3. Columbus Blue Jackets Score: 0.7898781163 Championships 0 Playoffs 5 W-L% % 496 Division 0 Been around: 19 The Columbus Blue Jackets third on this list because they have won zero championships. Also, they made it to the playoffs five times. They only made it past the first round this past season. Also, they have a very low winning percentage. With what I mentioned that's why they're on this list. 4. Colorado Rockies Score: 0.7924403292 Championships 0 Playoffs 5 W-L% % 471 Division 0 Been around: 27 The Colorado Rockies are the fourth worst franchise because of there winning percentage of 471. The Rockies shouldn't be on this rankings because of playing in high altitude where it's easier to hit home runs in baseball. Another reason why is because of only having five postseason appearances which is partially because of being in a very tough division in the NL West where in that division they have juggernauts like the Dodgers and Giants. So for all these reasons that's why the Rockies are they slow 5. Charlotte Hornets Score: 0.821333 Championships 0 Playoffs 5 W-L% % 438 Division 0 Been around: 30 The Charlotte Hornets are an obvious member of the worst franchises ever list because of they're awful owner, for the past decade Michael Jordan. Who was a great player, but being a great player does not mean you're a great executive. This man has made countless bad moves. He has been awful as an executive only leading this team to five playoff appearances. They have had a 438 winning percentage. Which is absolutely awful showing how much they suck. So overall, that's why the Hornets are this on this list.
