Out of all those championships, the only cities I would consider not a major market are Dallas, San Antonio, Cleveland, Milwaukee. That's 4 out of 15 championships. Cleveland really only won because of Lebron and his ability to attract star players so it's really only 3 teams in 15 years. I see a stretch of this happening in the NHL as it goes down this path where star players decide to team up with other star players in major cities while taking discounts etc. Now that this double retention trade is out of the bag, the trade deadline will never be the same. These major market teams will continuously load up at the deadline with star players.
