It’s going to be really hard to incorporate spiked gloves and motorbikes into any other current sports.

with geography as a second criteria and at least one Canadian city - probably Toronto or Vancouver.

so -

NYC (more than one?)
Boston
Atlanta
Chicago
St.Louis
Phoenix
LA (more than one?)
Toronto

I would think those cities would be the core

So in the NHL, it's tough to pass up a team like Nashville. And you can't have an MLB list without St. Louis.

The Warriors have a decent history and recent success but not the biggest fan base. You can argue that they can replace Portland but the NW is rabid about sports.

The same problem potentially exists in hockey with Tampa Bay, though Golden State has a richer history.
