Congrats to the Nuggets,
who took 47 seasons to win their
first championship, and the
Golden Knights,
who took 6.
With the NBA and NHL seasons ending in back-to-back days, we
enter a long gap between the next time the champ score will update,
IE the dog days of summer. Thus the leaderboard will remain as follows
for quite a while:
Denver creeps into the
top 3 with their 3rd
title since 2015, and Vegas rounds out
the top 10 with their new Stanley Cup.
LA remains in the top spot with a
little more breathing room as
the Lakers playoff run
outpaced what the Lightning
were able to accomplish.
But given that
Tampa and Los Angeles both have highly relevant baseball teams,
the top spot will likely be very much up for grabs
during the MLB playoffs.
If you want to get into the top 3 sports cities, winning 2 Super Bowls in 4 years is a good way to do it. With the
@Chiefs
win this year, KC rockets up to the #3 city in our champs rankings, and the city records its all-time high in terms of local team success.
On the other side of the coin, Philadephia now is the only city to lose 3 championship finals (Eagles, Union & Phillies) in the same year – and they've done it twice. But in 1980, Philly offset their 3 losses in championships (76ers, Eagles & Flyers) with a Phillies World Series win, so it wasn't all bad. No such luck in 2022.
Our last update of 2022 is a consequential one, as due to @LAFC's thrilling MLS Cup victory, Los Angeles has just barely edged ahead of Tampa Bay and taken the top spot in the Champ Score rankings. The razor tight margin will be tested in just a few short months as Tampa Bay and LA teams both try to accumulate more points with a deep run in the NFL playoffs.
The @Astros have won another WS in this incredible 6-year run and rocketed Houston all the way to #4 in the ranking of top sports cities. I don't know if the rest of the Houston teams will be good enough, soon enough, to rise HOU any higher, but top 5 still a great achievement!
