Which North American pro sports franchise is the greatest of the great? With the NBA and NHL playoffs starting up, and baseball in its earliest stages, it seemed like a good time to assess this unique argument.
The greatest of the great from each major sports league have sustained consistent excellence over decades, not just 15-20 years. The best franchises have multiple title runs going back to their early years of their league up to recently. They contend and/or win championships on a regular basis in their sport.
Interestingly, my five top candidates all have won 56-60 percent of their regular season games, all-time.
