If you need extreme data points you should look into the Russian Premier League for Football. While sports in the USA use Eastern/Western Conferences to lower travel requirements, the Football leagues enforces 2 matches per teams regardless of location. In the 2017-2018 season the farthest two teams were 5,000+ miles apart! [1]

True wrt the distance, but in the RPL there is less than one league match per week per team, whereas each NBA team plays around 3.5 games per week.
