NBA

Which NBA teams have never won a championship?

As the NBA playoffs are done, let’s shift our focus to the teams that have yet to claim a championship title or receive recognition from their community.

Utah Jazz and Lakers.

While every team in the NBA has made it to the playoffs at least once in their history, there are a few surprising numbers in the stats. 10 teams have never won a Championship; of these, six have never been in the final.

Some big names are involved in this list, a few who should have won were it not for external factors. The Utah Jazz, through the late eighties and early nineties, were a powerhouse team, and only the magical brilliance of Michael Jordan kept them from a ring or two.

MJ now owns the Charlotte Hornets, and they have yet to make an appearance in the final, being perennial under-performers. They are building a confident young team but are still a few years away from bringing that to fruition.

Last and this year’s leading contender on the West, the Phoenix Suns have never won a Championship, despite Charles Barkley’s best efforts. Perhaps they can break that streak this season.

Teams that have never won a Championship:

  • Charlotte Hornets*
  • Los Angeles Clippers*
  • Memphis Grizzlies*
  • Minnesota Timberwolves*
  • New Orleans Pelicans*
  • Brooklyn Nets
  • Indiana Pacers
  • Phoenix Suns
  • Orlando Magic
  • Utah Jazz
