The NBA has a salary cap, therefore, there is more equity amongst the teams.

Baseball does not have a salary cap (and if the Player's Union has their way, it never will), so teams can spend enormous amounts of cash to buy championships.

Wayne Huizenga did it in '97 with the Marlins, then sold off all of his players. Steinbrenner did it the next three years, but (to my joy) it didn't work in '01.

There's the Lakers, then far below them, the N.B.A.

But in the NBA, even with the salary cap, the Lakers have won 3 in a row with an overall payroll of ~$45 million, while the Knicks and Trailblazers went nowhere with $80+ million payrolls. The cap didn't stop them from trying.
