I wouldn't exactly consider this a great example of seeing it over many seasons.
I said a legitimate chance of going all the way. We've seen teams make good runs but fall just a bit short whether that be finals or conference finals. And parity is getting better and better every season. I guess my argument comes down to semantics. How do you want to define a cup contender? I'm making the argument that getting into the playoffs and starting a series from game 1 means anything can happen and, therefore, makes you a cup contender.
