The Lakers end their  NBA season tonight against the Golden State Warriors, win or lose they've already surpassed their win total from last season, but they'll still be near the bottom of the standings.  Will the team be able to regain that Laker magic, now that Magic Johnson is now in charge?

And  for the past two decades Forbes has listed baseball's most valuable franchises. The top five are the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs and Giants.  These five teams have won six of the last eight World Series, The Kansas City Royals won in 2015  and the St. Louis Cardinals won in 2011.

So what does this mean for fans of every other team? Are they just out of luck?
