in 150 combined seasons of the Hawks/Braves/Falcons playing in ATL, they have only brought home one title (the Braves, two decades ago). and it's 170 combined seasons if you include the NHL

thats crazy, I didn't realize how awful ATL was in sports. ATL is the 9th biggest metro area in the US, you'd think they'd have a lot more titles. Look at the all the other big cities. The only other big city as bad as ATL in sports is Phoenix, but they've only had 90 combined seasons of NFL/NBA/MLB (110 if include NHL) and aren't as big a city as ATL (4,489,109 to 5,614,323 population)

Biggest cities in the US:

#1 NYC - 57 titles (35 MLB/2 NBA/9 NFL/11 NHL)

#2 LA - 22 titles (6 MLB/11 NBA/2 NFL/3 NHL)

#3 Chicago - 27 titles (5 MLB/6 NBA/11 NFL/5 NHL)

#4 Dallas - 8 titles (1 NBA/6 NFL/1 NHL)

#5 Houston - 4 titles (2 NBA/2 NFL)

#6 Philadelphia - 16 titles (7 MLB/3 NBA/4 NFL/2 NHL)

#7 Washington - 7 titles (1 MLB/1 NBA/5 NFL)

#8 Miami - 7 titles (2 MLB/3 NBA/2 NFL)

#9 Atlanta - 1 title <------------WTF?!?!?!

4.29 million to 4.73 million population:

#10 Boston - 36 titles (9 MLB/17 NBA/4 NFL/6 NHL)

#11 San Fran/Oakland - 16 titles (7 MLB/2 NBA/7 NFL)

#12 Phoenix - 1 title

#13 Detriot - 22 titles (4 MLB/3 NBA/4 NFL/11 NHL)

2.75 million to 3.67 million population:

#14 Seattle 2 titles (1 NBA/1 NFL)

#15 Minneapolis - 7 titles (2 MLB/5 NBA)

#16 San Diego - 1 title

#17 Tampa - 2 titles (1 NFL/1 NHL)

#18 Saint Louis - 13 titles (11 MLB/1 NBA/1 NFL)

#19 Baltimore - 9 titles (3 MLB/1 NBA/5 NFL)

#20 Denver - 4 titles (2 NFL/2 NHL)

some from the less than 2.38 million population cities:

Pittsburgh - 14 titles (5 MLB/6 NFL/3 NHL)

Green Bay - 13 titles (all NFL)

San Antonio - 5 titles (all NBA)

Cincinnati - 5 titles (all MLB)

Cleveland - 12 titles (2 MLB, 10 NFL)

Charlotte - 0 Titles

Fixed. Can't blame the Falcons for sucking hard during the non-fa era as an expansion team. Hawks have had horrible owners as did the Falcons before Blank. Braves were just fuging choke artists in the 90s sans one year.

ATL is basically just cursed. Crazy a city that big only has 1 title. As for Charlotte (2,380,314), that's the same size as:

2,348,247 - Portland Oregon

2,321,418 - Orlando

2,244,397 - Sacramento

2,069,681 - Las Vegas

of those, only Portland has a title (Trail Blazers in 1977), so I guess they could talk smack, but I doubt people in North Carolina care as they have been spoiled with well more than their fair share of titles between Duke and UNC

3h

Eastern finalists Cleveland, Atlanta both chasing 1st-ever NBA

title. Warriors have 3 (2 in Philly) and Rockets 2.

7m

the last time the Rockets advanced to the Western finals: 18 years to the day. May 17, 1997

2h

With Astros streaking, Rockets sweet-stroking, Texans have a

tough act to follow in 2015.
