With their global appeal, hard to argue with.

 

[NewcastleKEG]

Asia might be different but in Europe the two American franchises I saw the most merchandise (by a wide margin) were the Yankees & Bulls

Oh yeah 17>16

Yes, one more banner, but most of those are so old they are chiseled on stone. Lakers have been a much more consistent franchise, and that is what Doc was talking about. Lakers are only irrelevant for maybe 3-5 year stretches at a time not 20 years of dormancy.

Logic gets it...

Bulls?

Aren't you forgetting about the Yankees with their 25 WS championships? Lakers are probably second, though.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

I can not believe Doc said that, seems like he has hidden motivation and if that isn't a shot at Ainge then I do not know what is.

Calling the lakers the greatest of all sports is a really big statement and I think a huge exaggeration.

Bulls?

This makes a ton of sense. Think about when the NBA went global? Who was the best player in the league? Maybe you have heard of the dream team? Who was winning a lot of titles through that time?

3. Dallas Cowboys Americas Team

You minds well make the Raiders #5 then.

LOL

Real Madrid has won their league 32 times. Been runner up 21 times.

That is not including other championships they have won and it totals over 30 including 3 world championships.

Americans and their quaint idea's of history. No AMERICAN TEAM should ever be considered for a GOAT franchise discussion because of soccer. There are hundreds of clubs per country competing in multi national competition for over 100 years. American sport's history does not compare. And when you discuss GOAT franchises exactly what you are debating is history.

The vast majority of those banners were from a bygone era of a monopoly on talent presided over by a cigar-smoking mob boss. They should be taken down.

Most of us couldn't care less for soccer. You have your fun with it but I couldn't care less about that boring game between 5 foot panzies and panty-weights.

Soccer players would stomp a piss drain in your melon with ease.
