Article: BBS Franchise Rankings – First 40 Years

Every few years, we are going to tally up the results and provide and update and “franchise power rankings” – a quantitative measure of team success that is not victim to the whims and agendas of a GM Ranking article would be. We have not done this in 5-seasons, so let us try.

But how do we quantify success? Is it regular season wins? Titles? Playoff success? Tough to tell these days. We are going to run with this loose formula:

1 Point for a Regular Season Win
2 Points for a Playoff Win
5 Points for a Playoff Appearance
20 Points for a Finals Appearance
75 Points for a Title [Extra boost for this version, to try to help placate the RINGZ crowd]

We post this every 5 years. Welcome to the inner-circle, Kobe! The Heat and Jazz were the biggest risers.

We are now 40-years into this thing. Absolutely crazy. Time flies. Where do we stand?
