Counted by franchise, as the NBA counts them: the Minneapolis Lakers' titles are the Lakers', the Seattle SuperSonics' 1979 title is the Thunder's, and the Rochester Royals' 1951 title is the Kings'. The 1948 Baltimore Bullets folded in 1954 and are not today's Wizards. Never won: the Clippers, the Grizzlies, the Hornets, the Jazz, the Magic, the Nets, the Pacers, the Pelicans, the Suns and the Timberwolves.
