Throughout NBA history, New York City natives have won a combined 62 championships, far surpassing any other city worldwide, according to HoopsHype’s research. However, 58 of these titles were secured in the 20th century, with only four in the 21st – courtesy of Brendan Haywood, Lamar Odom and Metta World Peace. That tells you all you need to know about New York’s decline as the actual basketball mecca.
Led by Kobe Bryant‘s five championships, Philadelphia comes second, though many of its titles came way back in the day too.
The first international city in the ranking is Melbourne (Australia) at No. 20 with seven titles.
