The NBA has the best basketball players in the world going toe-to-toe. That means that their front offices must do an outstanding job of trying to stay competitive throughout the years. Needless to say, that’s way easier said than done, especially nowadays.

Throughout the course of history, some franchises have found substantially more success than others. That’s because of the big market they live in, which has, obviously made it kind of a loop. It seems like the best teams are just getting better as the years go by.

Therefore, there are some teams with a much better record than others. That doesn’t necessarily translate to more titles, although two of the winningest teams ever also happen to be the titles with the most rings. Check it out:

Note: All records are updated until the 2018-19 season.

30. Minnesota Timberwolves 961 W -1,451 L (39.8%), 2,412 Games

As you can tell by the list, the San Antonio Spurs are far ahead of the pack with a 62.2% winning percentage, while the Minnesota Timberwolves ranked dead last at 39.8%. Unsurprisingly, the Boston Celtics have the most wins overall with 3,378; while the Sacramento Kings own the most losses with 3,053. The Celtics also have the most games played (5,472), while the New Orleans Pelicans have only played 1,378 games thus far.
