I am bored, and I have been thinking about this topic for a while now, so I am giving my top 5 teams/franchises who have been through the worst times over the past quarter of a century
1 Seattle Supersonics
Undisputedly has to be no 1. A proud and passionate and historic franchise killed off/torn away by assholes who own Starbucks and David Stern was certainly complicit in the demise of the Sonics
2 Sacramento Kings
Been ****** more times than Joan Collins and Johnny Holmes combined, both by refs and the Commission, but lately by more inept and moronic owners and GM (yes I am talking about you Vlade Dumbass)
3 Minnesota Timberwolves
Like The Kings, much of the Wolves misery has been due to a God awful owner. Have a very soft spot for them and Agent McHale given us a Prime KG to give us banner #17, but still it just still seems to be a franchise forever cursed by poor drafting and GM moves. Hopefully if/when Kevin Garnett buys the team, we see the Wolves rise.
4 Washington Bullets/Wizards
Everyone talks about how cactus the Bulls and Knicks have been in the post 90s era, but honestly, the Wiz have been by far the worst/most mediocre team in the Eastern Conference in the time frame I have mentioned. They had some fun times with Gilbert Arenas before he literally went insane and John Wall, but other than that, pretty much zilch t9 show for it, and it was depressing to see an aging Michael Jordan lose a bit of his aura and mystique by his final dreadful years in DC
5 New Orleans Pelicans
A city and franchise rocked both by tragedy (Hurricane Katrina) and an inability to keep Franchise Players (CP3, The Brow etc)
Really hope Zion stays healthy and signs long term at The Big Easy, God (aka Larry Bird) knows they are well overdue for a change of luck and some success
