- They make bad trades and bet on the wrong players. They have bad ownership, worse GMs, and too many disappointed fans. Here are the worst franchises in NBA history.

If you're a fan of any of the teams in this video, we feel for you. 💔😩
Thank you bro.
Timberwolves, Pelicans, Clippers, and maybe the Hornets all look promising over the next couple years though!
Thanks my guy
@@nonstop can I get a shoutout for mason plz it is my birthday in two days ur my fav
@@lilnobody1224 Happy early bday boss! 🎂
Sorry, but thanks to Dolan, the Knicks have replaced Seinfeld as the longest-running comedy set in New York.
Not sure how old you are, but back in 95 when my cities team played NY in the NBA Finals, and when Houston beat NY the SI magazine didn't even make a championship issue originally bc they were so butt hurt, eventually we got a really late issue bc.
That stupid move trading to get Anthony mid season instead of waiting until he was a free agent. Imagine if they waited and Amare could have stayed healthy. That team would have been scary.
I know lots of what ifs lol.
Just huge fan of both players.
I’m a knicks fan but I gotta admit that’s a good one lol
Haha so true the knicks are ass
@@comradbishop5158 same lol
I feel bad for the fans of these teams who have been patient with these teams for decades hoping for a successful season. Overall, the location of these teams does play a part on why some of them aren't successful right now. Not just the fact that most here are in small markets, but weather plays a part too on why some star free agents choose to play in certain cities. Teams like the Lakers and Heat have been successful in recent years/decades because of where their location. Imagine if Vegas had an NBA team.
Not all NBA fans are bandwagoners.
True but same time you gotta get all these rich young millionaires to focus on basketball in these cities. Vegas has a football team and I don’t see them winning a title any time soon
@@alexescutia4805 Very good point, I didn't think about that at the moment, as far as some cities reputations, and fun things to do being a major distraction for professional athletes.
@@bracebrooks967 yeah for instance herro got a lot of scrutiny last year because people thought he wasn’t working on his game and just partying in Miami
@@alexescutia4805 interesting, and he has a whole 4 months of the off-season to have fun in Miami, or wherever else he takes a vacation to so I hope he does stay focused on his game during the NBA season. He trained and worked hard to get there so he'd better not mess up that opportunity cause a long-lasting injury could ruin his career too just like too much partying could.
Kings literally make me sad. At least the Wizards do good sometimes.
I still remember the truth hitting game winners in the playoffs truly made me happy for a bit
They're top 3 in the west at the moment
@@maverick4life7749 I did reverse psychology and made The Kings good while make The Wizards...well they were already kinda bad. I'm a happy Kings fan now :)
@@bignoob24 I'm not a kings fan but I'm happy they're doing better haha
Born and raised in Sac, been a fan my whole life. The last time the kings went to the playoffs I was 9 years old man😪 I’m 25 now…it’s been a STRUGGLE being a fan. I still love my team, we have one of the most loyal fan bases in my opinion. I still love going to games. We have squandered so much talent because of our joke of a front office…
Born in Sac.. I remember the Mitch Richmond days at the Arco. I'm 36 bro so I watched a lot of embarrassing years of the Kings, but still loved them when I left Sac in the early 00's. The front office has always been a joke even back then my man lol.
I’m a warriors fan n sac fans are loyal because I see them n Reno all the time when I’m betting, the kings had a good run n the early 2000s when the warriors sucked I remember the kings always beat us
You guys got hosed in 2002, they choked in Game 7 (why was Peja even on the floor for that game and why didn’t Bibby take the last shot?) and I think they were looking really good the next year and Webber blew out his knee and that was pretty much it, but man, they don’t seem to know how to draft players
The Kings were great man early 00’s rival with my Lakers…one of the best teams Lakers ever went up against for that stretch with teams like the Spurs & Blazers. Crazy.
Your team is so bad that I wrote a fictional called Cinderella Purple back in high school in which a star shooting led the Sacramento Kings to the NBA championship as an 8th seed, overcoming tough opposition to make history
I feel bad for mostly DeMarcus Cousins and De'Aaron Fox who was wasting their primes in the Kings
Is for fox he still there unfortunately
If they knew how to draft they could have had some good teams.
Same
Nobody forces these players to sign extensions
@@stpbasss3773 fr could've had luka
The Warriors pre-2015 chip would fit right in this list. Never thought they'd be where they are today.
They wasn't that bad they even beat a prime Durk and won a ring in the 70s
Jimmy Neutron yeah they were like at least mid-tier.
they had some bad bad bad years tho
We were basically a slightly better Clippers team except we actually had a good history plus no scandals
@@MoNehNeh17 They made the playoffs once in 18 years. Even the Kings and Timberwolves never have gone that long with only one playoff series. (Though the Kings probably will)
"Knicks are the only 8 seed to go to the Finals" Jimmy Butler took that personally 😂
Happy to say the kings have made their first playoffs since 17 years
There are literally human beings getting their first job and learning how to drive and that whole time up until that point the Kings have sucked. 16 seasons is such a long time.
I can't believe it's been that long.
Pistons have sucked over half that time as well. From 2010-2022 we were an 8 seed once.
that’s me and i live in sac lmfao
I just LOVE being a Timberwolves fan😂. This past season was awesome but also weird since we're not used to having success during the season😂
Arguably worse being a Wild fan. At least you always know the Wolves will do poorly. The Wild, on the other hand, dangle victory in front of us every single year and then blow it. First-round loss every single FUCKING YEAR
Saw some guys who felt weird when the Wolves doesn't have lottery pick in 2022 NBA draft 😂😂
As a timberwolves fan I can attest that glen taylor gave no fucks about winning. He wants to be under the luxury tax every year that way even if the wolves don’t win and don’t sell out any games he gets a piece of they luxury tax pie for staying under. Not a coincidence that wolves went to playoffs after glen taylor sold the wolves.
Precisely. With new ownership we might actually be able to make use of our top-tier players in KAT and Ant.
Detroit boutta be here😂
Well shit, look at Milwaukee. I'm not an expert , just a casual fan, but we used to be TERRIBLE. Small market, bad weather etc. we stuck it out, won the Finals last year and have a solid team.
Yall are literally blessed man yall got Giannis who is one of the best if not the best player in the NBA and already one of best players ever. On top of that hes a very cool and humble dude and stayed in Milwaukee which I have mad respect for and it ultimately led to a championship. But yeah the basketball Gods smiled down on the Bucks when they drafted Giannis and thats for damn sure
You did two right things.. 1. Giannis 2. Jrue
Bucks fans oughta be proud. You guys have the best player in the league now, and his humility and loyalty makes the whole franchise look good and honorable.
Sterling got what he desereved in the end, forced his way in, and in the end he was forced out too.
I remember the early 90s Mavericks were so bad that the NBA seriously considered relegating them and replace them with another team
People are going to hate, but they really should move a team back to Vancouver or expansion. Beautiful city, much better weather then Minnesota, rabid fan base, and would create rivalries with the soon to be Supersonics and Raptors.
Seattle should get a new franchise before any other city
@@enthusiastofcute 100% agree, thats why i hinted at “rivalries with soon to be supersonics” cause they will return.
@@enthusiastofcute in a perfect world, wish they would move Sacramento Kings to Seattle and Minnesota Timberwolves to Vancouver
Bro thank you, appreciate the love to Vancouver from our American friends…most likely scenario though is Seattle and Las Vegas will receive an expansion NBA team…Las Vegas is currently constructing an NBA arena as we speak
I hope Vancouver gets the Grizzlies back and Memphis rebrands. Those old jerseys were 🔥
As a Magic fan I want to be happy but I feel like we’re gonna end up on a “Part 2 worst teams” list😅😅
lol I was waiting for him to be like and the worst NBA team has to be the Orlando magic at least we made a couple of finals and our future looks good
As another magic fan I was thinking the same thing. At least we've made it to the finals. Twice
Pacers are my second favorite team, I’m dead 💀
They wouldn't qualify though because they've mostly had good teams. It's only recently they've been ass. If they keep it up for another 5-10 years then they'd make it too.
At least y’all made the finals. That’s probably why the Magic just missed out on this list.
Fun fact: LeBron saved the Cavs from being on the list😂
Kings:
Worse at Developing rookies
Worse GM
Worse Coach
Worse Drafts
The Timberwolves also got caught trying to do an illegal trade for Joe Smith (who wasn't even that good), and were punished by forfeiting a whole bunch of draft picks. In the 2009 draft they had the 5th and 6th overall picks and drafted two point guards, but neither of them was Stephen Curry who ended up being picked number 7 by Golden State.
But did everyone think curry would be who he is? Remember hindsight is 20/20 you seriously can’t know a player ceiling now and say why didn’t the other teams drafted him lmao like maybe bc no one knew they would be stars
This aged well for the kings
2:41 ”Number one seed lost to the mavericks on the second round” sounds familiar
I’m suprised orlando wasn’t mentioned
They’ve made the finals twice in their short history. That’s not bad.
@@danielfigueroa8521 worst records in the league and a true mess of management
As an NY resident, it's truly heartbreaking to see the knicks struggle like this. I know I have the nets, but still... If they make better draft picks (as they have slowly started to do in recent years), they could come back. RJ Barret was a step in the right direction.
The Knicks will never win again, and the reality is that's a great thing for sports.
Kings are now 3rd in west😮😮😮
“They traded three all star players for three bags of chips” lmao I dropped my phone laughing
It's weird that the Grizzlies and Suns didn't make the list despite Never winning an NBA title while some of the teams on this list did. Grizzlies haven't even made the finals
That's because they haven't existed that long, they were founded in 1995. In the NBA there are more teams that repeat or go back to the finals year after year, so while not making the finals since 1995 isn't great it's definitely not awful. The Grizzlies have made a conference finals and they've had many winning seasons. If you look at the teams that have been founded from 1988-present (Hornets, Heat, Magic, Timberwolves, Raptors, Grizzlies, Pelicans) only 3 of the 7 have made the finals (Heat, Magic, Raptors).
With the Suns, they shouldn't be on the list either, because while they've never won, they've had many winning seasons. They were really good from 2004-10, and the have been great the last two seasons despite playoff failures.
The Grizzlies are a lot newer, they started in 1995 and even then they've already made a conference final in 2013. Considering it took the Clippers 51 years to do that, theyre not that bad.
And Phoenix has had consistently great teams over the decades, from Barkley, to Nash, to where they are now. They've also been to the Finals three times, lost once to Boston in 1976 which included a 3 OT game, once to Jordan, and obviously to Milwaukee last year.
Fox really needs a new team
He does, really bad too. He only has about 3 or 4 prime years left.
Dang, kinda thought the Magic would be on this list.
Lmao same
Kings gonna be kings lmao
Why is that so funny
My cousin still believe that kings could make the playoffs. I said “Not even once!”.
@@mymagicisntgivingup5908 what ever he's smoking I need some of that
@@lucasmaddocks4804 Also, believe that Sabonis could better in Sacramento.
@@mymagicisntgivingup5908 any kings fan that was okay with that haliburton trade is delusional at this point
Bro Chris Paul Is In 2 of those bad teams
And he stayed in these 2 longest, no wonder he hasn't got any ring
Fell in love with the Kings since the the 2000's and the team has really been testing my love.....
Well, I'm a Wizards fan but I really feel proud when we had Wall and Beal in a good form and nearly reached the Conference Finals in 2017, those were good years for Wizards Fans
Agreed. I’m a wizards fan too and i believe that if we beat the Celtics in 2017 we would’ve had a good chance to beat the Cavs too. Either way we would’ve lost but still, best years of being a Wizards fan for sure
Here's to hoping we win a title in our lifetime.
I’m a 16 year old kings fan and I have never seen my team in the playoffs 🥲
That might change this season my man
Glad to see some of these teams like the clippers got bright futures
Looks like the Charlotte hornets have a bright future as well
@@bracebrooks967 Can't forget the Timberwolves.
@@bracebrooks967 Agree they need to build around Lamelo, this kid is special. Hope MJ not f*ck up this time 😂
"anything is possible!!!!!"
if you get traded!!!
It’s simultaneously unbelievable & very believable why the Hornets are still an average team under MJ’s tutelage… He’ll never get out of his own way & must be an nightmare to be their coaching staff.
I know I thought he’d have the team to the finals by now given he spent a decade with Phil Jackson & has his place in history as Goat² (Goat of Goats)…
I kinda like that the kings stay garbage cause you can actually go to the game and get a great seat for a great price. I remember when warrior games were like that too.
Grew up in Sac town for my middle school and high school days. Although I'm a dubs fan through and through, I have had a side affection for the king's. I honestly hope they pull through one of these days.
Tomberwolves should've signed that dog from AirBud bruh
4:18 Did not know it was so cheap to illegally move to a big market (although the team will probably need to pay for a new arena and face serious backlashes)... Regardless, money well spent! More teams should consider to do so, rather than overpaying players simply because they are small market teams (perhaps move to New York or Chicago?). The Knicks has proven that on-court success has got nothing to do with business success (at least for the NBA).
6 mil was a lot of money back then
Oh yes, it is probably more like $20 million in 2022.
@@Anonymous_Lee19 a new arena cost hundreads of millions plus the nets dont sell as much as knicks
Based on the Forbes 2021 statistics:
- Valuation of the big market teams varies greatly from $2 billion to almost $6 billion. Most of the teams are given a valuation of at least $3 billion (LA Clippers, the franchise in question is valued at $3.3 billion).
- Valuation of the small market teams are consistently valued between $1.5 billion to $2 billion. Even the Bucks is barely valued at $2 billion, despite its success in recent years.
- The cost of a NBA arena may cost anything from a couple hundreds of millions to $1 billion (Barclays Center is sort of a outlier). Note that this does not take into account the residual value of the team's old arena and the naming rights (this is worth more for big market teams and especially if you are willing to name it after some cryptocurrency company which may not even exist in 20 years. This amount to about $200 million to $700 million).
- Strictly from a mathematics standpoint, moving from a small market to a big market is likely to increase the team's valuation by at least $1 billion, which will more than likely cover the costs of a new arena. Anything in excess is profit!
P.S. I meant this as a fun though experiment... I fully understand that moving a team's location is likely to be stupid and unrealistic move, e.g. why would a team give up their existing fan base which is a key source of revenue and go to a new location where you may be hated.
@@Anonymous_Lee19 Sterling was only able to keep the team because David Stern called off a vote by the other owners to force a sale. Adam Silver has proven considerably less tolerant of bad owners, so I wouldn't expect such a trick to work with him. And any construction in a major market will have a major price tag - Chase Center cost close to $1.5 billion and Intuit Dome is expected to cost over $2 billion, with zero public funding for either. And the Warriors didn't own Oracle and the Clippers don't own Staples, so no recouping any expenses.
If you find yourself wondering why no one has tried your simple but genius idea yet, the reason is usually that you aren't really as clever as you think you are.
I love the vid but how do you skip over the Gilbert Arenas years in DC?
At least the Knicks are still relevant because of being associated with NYC
There not tho
Nope. The Nets took a piece of that pie when they moved to Brooklyn. The young ones never seen the Knicks were ever good. They root for the Nets. If ever want to watch the Knicks, I would go to Barclay instead of MSG. Dont wanna give money to Dolan.
@@excalipoor bet you would
Be glad if the knicks were exiled and erased from the league permanently. Because no one wants the knicks to be good
@@subzerofromny735 Just because the team is bad, doesn't mean you want it to be gone. There are many teams that don't do well for decades. They love their team, it's just the personnel in those organizations are not running it right. That's the soul crushing part of it. Everyone has to deal with ups and downs in life, so just focus more on other things. It is what it is.
Born and raised in Charlotte NC, no one could understand the disappointment hearing both our football team & basketball team having the worst records in history during the 2000’s shit hurt my soul 😩🤦🏾♂️

Honestly surprised not to see Cavs.

Gotta feel bad for the Wolves. The two big franchise players in their history won chips…with other teams. And their third won’t win a damn thing while he’s there
I'm sorry but in major american sports the kings don't take the cake, the A's do

Following the Timberwolves through all their losing and terrible moves you learn to appreciate little successes and positive moments whenever you can get them such as this last season. Other teams mentioned here similarly appear to have a bright future ahead of them as well.
Thank you for making this video! Imo the Kings don't get enough flack. Bad trades, management, and so many coaches that they could start their own team
It's hard being a Kings fan
I bet it is
Good vid
In Sacramento, it's the Rick Adelman curse. Since the Maloofs forced Geoff Petrie to hand Adelman, the most successful coach in the Kings franchise in the Sacramento era, the pink slip after 2006, the Kings have yet to make it back to the playoffs.
Is it just me or do you feel like the New York knickerbockers sounds kinda racist when saying it out loud
I don't even like saying it out loud 🤣 seems wrong

yeah but maybe they considered that they had Shaq and Dwight, Tmac, and penny. They’re a liiiittle iconic in a way i guesss. Even though they should be switched with a team that made it to the video.
Being born and raised in New York, seeing the Knicks suck really hurts my soul.
In my opinion the best teams on this list that didn't win a championship (except for the Kings) are 2002 Kings, The Lob City Clippers, and the 1990's Knicks.
Oops I forgot the Knicks won a championship!
If you had made this video before 2019, a very good case would have been made to put the Raptors on this list. Masai Ujiri has completely transformed this team.
I never knew which were on the list.
Me and my dad are huge Minnesota fans (also a Boston fan!) and we’re very happy with our current situation
Being a flippers fan means you have no self respect
Kings just being humble
Some of these are coming up,the Clippers were a joke for years,Nuggets were bad alot around the same time,the Bobcats drafted players that were solid but no superstars,the Knicks players kept getting injured and they still had to pay them or kept over paying over the hill players(Francis,Penny)!
I'm a fan of timberwolves, but also golden state so we good
Yo what’s my mans
I was using MySpace the last time the Kings were in the playoffs lol
And now they’re the 2 seed
After their improbable Playoff runs in the early 2000's, the Sacramento Kings had become California's NBA neglected son.
Even The Rock had once poked fun at them at Sacramento.
I remember the Rock doing that…on the opposite end Lakers fans rejoiced for a 3-Peat in those days. Haha Those Kings teams were fuckin GOOD ! I’d put them 02 Kings against some teams today !
