The Lakers stand as the NBA's most relevant franchise with championships in six of eight possible decades, outpacing the Celtics who have won in five decades despite having more total titles.

• Most NBA teams have failed to win consistently across different decades
• Only four teams have won titles in three or more decades
• Lakers (6 decades), Celtics (5), Warriors (4), and Spurs (3) top the list
• Ten NBA franchises have never won a championship
• Winning across decades demonstrates organizational adaptability and sustained relevance
• Current stars like Luka Dončić COULD help teams extend their championship windows into new decades
• Judging players from earlier eras differently should also apply to championship counts from those periods
• Consistent championship contention matters more than clustering multiple titles in a short timeframe
