I haven't really followed the NBA since the Magic vs Larry days except for the brief LBJ era for the CAVS.  Similar for the NHL and the Pittsburgh Mario days.

Going just from names:

C. Washington Bullets now Wizards.

D. Tricky maybe the old superstar Montreal Canadians

D=Vancouver

Oohh...ever so close.     Check on Vancouver.    And Atlanta misses it by just one year to another city.  Atlanta has never had a title....but the Hawks moved there in 1968.    Another city has had a team since 1967...with no titles.

NO.   Bullets won a title in late 70s (78?)   Montreal won in 1993 last.

Here is Today's Trivia Question:

A subset of  4 questions, actually:

Answers: 

A. Which city currently with an NFL team has gone the longest without seeing a  football championship?

Detroit...since 1957;   Runnerup:  Minnesota  1960

B. Which city currently with an MLB team has gone the longest without seeing a World Series Championship?

Cleveland  1948.   Runnerup, Milwaukee  1957 ....when the Braves last won a WS when they were there. 

C. Which city  currently with an NBA team, has gone the longest without seeing a basketball championship?

Denver   1967,  which is when the Nuggets first started play.  Runnersup:   Atlanta 1968 when the Hawks moved there from St. Louis, and Phoenix, which is when the Suns began play also in 1968

D. Which city currently with an NHL team has gone the longest without seeing a hockey championship? 

Vancouver   1915, which is the last time a team from that city won the Stanley Cup.   However,  Vancouver also did not have a team for like more than 50s years, from like 1920 to 1970.  Not counting that fact, then Toronto could have been an acceptable answer, not winning since 1967.

Here is today's Trivia Question.  I entitle it "One Horse Towns".    This applies to the 4 major Sports:  NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB.

There are  18 cities in North America that can be considerd "One Horse Towns"  in that they have only 1 single major league sports franchise in the 4 major sports located there.      Hint:  to ease your effort,   5 of them are Canadian NHL teams.
