Many refer to Boston as "Titletown" because of the massive number of championship teams from the Boston metropolitan area over the years. The Boston Celtics strengthened the area's claim to the title when they defeated the Dallas Mavericks for their record 18th NBA championship. Los Angeles then added a few more titles in 2024 when the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series and LA Galaxy won MLS Cup.
