Overall Los Angeles has Boston beat,2 Olympics & possible 3 in the near Future....Way better looking Women & Quality if Life.
Sorry, UCLA is no longer Elite, its a little sad, clinging to those titles, sort of like how BC clings to Flutie and the 1980s when confronted with the last few years of epic failure (no 2015-2016 ACC wins for BBall or Football) outside of Hockey.

The LA Dodgers have 5 championships. The additional one was in Brooklyn in 55. And 5 Lakers championships were before they moved to LA. So I'm not counting those because those aren't LA wins.
People seem to forget that L.A is a younger City than those Eastcoast cities so of course Boston will have more.If we Start from the modern Era of either the 70s/80s till now than Los Angeles has every other city beat including New York for overall titles.
Boston's won 16 titles since 1970 with only one pro team in each sport.
Besides cities like Boston none of that matters. NY and LA have too many teams for city titles to matter. I'm a Giants fan idgaf if the Jets win in fact F em. Unless they're playing Boston, I'd rather no NY team I don't like win even though it costs NY a championship.

I don't really want to be condescending or anything, but it's kind of bizarre to me that people would judge a city by how many professional sports championships it's won, and this is coming from someone who used to be a sports journalist.

Exactly. I've never understood the correlation between sports teams and reputation of a city.

If you're a suburban high school student masquerading as an adult who has lived in cities all around the world, professional sports championships are probably a disproportionately large piece of the "what's important for a great city to have" pie.
This is coming from a total homer when it comes to sports, by the way.
