I don't know about that. Baseball has no cap and has produced the most different champions. One of the keys is depth of quality players. Baseball has a lot of depth in talent or at least parity of talent (by which I mean the gap between run of the mill and elite is less than other sports) whereas there's an enormous gap between an elite NBA player and a run of the mill NBA player. Fewer teams would help.

In the NBA one or two guys can change the entire outlook of a team and carry them to championships.

In MLB you could have the league’s best hitter or the league’s best pitcher — or even both — and still have a lousy team.

There’s more parity in baseball because each player cannot impact the game as much as an NBA player. A pitcher might be dominant one game, but he can do nothing about the games in between his starts.

A hitter might mash 59 home runs, like Stanton last year, and his team still sucks. Look at Mike Trout: Widely considered the game’s best player, and he has a whopping 12 postseason at bats and hasn’t appeared in the playoffs in four years.

By contrast, add a guy like Chris Paul to an NBA team and they’ll rack up 15 or 20 more wins than the previous season. Or lose a guy like Lebron, like Cleveland did in 2010, and you go from first place to lottery-bound.
