      Meh. Let me know when someone gets into the hundreds and Cleveland has 28 years to get to 100.

         @geniusmusing Cleveland won in 2016, so they've got a while before they approach 100. Sacramento Kings are at 70 years, if https://champsorchumps.us/drought/longest-nba-championship-drought [champsorchumps us] is accurate.
         
         I don't even know where the Kings were from before Sacramento. I'm sure the place was just a cow town in 1951.

            My bad, the other Cleveland team. 72 seasons and counting.

               72 is the longest active drought in MLB, but dang, Chicago's White Sox (ended after 87 years for the South Side team) and Cubs (ended after 108 years for the North Side team) are really long. No wonder everyone was so excited about the Bulls bringing the championships home.
