Would you have called the Bulls a dynasty if they had only had the first three peat?

What about the Spurs and their 4?

I ask because if SC wins and advances to the CWS Final and wins. A three peat national champion. Are they considered one? Or is it four or more?

Yeah I think if you win 3 in say 3-6 years you're a dynasty. Like the Patriots and their three. Edmonton Oilers with 5 in 7 years. Spurs, Celtics with Bill Russell and so on.

I kige this. Even a slightly longer time period (like the Niners of the 1980s winning 4 in 10 years) as long as you have a few of the core people the whole way through and not a completely different team.

If they pull it off, they'll do something no one except USC has done. WPS

The Spurs' run is intriguing. Four in nine seasons. Four is a lot, but it's spread over a decade. I'd say yes, though, in today's era with free agency and expansion.

Basically the same as the 49ers then.

Three over ten years qualifies as long as you were still a top team in most of the years you didn't win.

The Spurs don't get enough credit because they're a smaller market and never repeated.

The Spurs were most definitely a dynasty and they still might have a year or two left in their window if last year is any indication.

A WCF appearance is nothing to scoff at.

More of a dynasty than the OTHER USC team that tried to claim a three-peat.

I guess my dynasties harken to the word dynasty, which if we consider the Ming dynasty, went on for centuries.

so three does not make it.

1. The New York Yankees. multiple extended runs at the top.
Not just your 1920's Ruth Gehrig Yankees.
Not just your Mickey Mantle Yogi Berra Whitey Ford Yankees
Every decade has had Yankee champions.
Most decades had multiple year Yankee Champions.
When Pittsburgh got the Maseroski HR, they needed a bad bounce into Tresh's throat and an extra innings win. In most of the games the Yankees won, light hitting Richardson had more RBI's than the entire Pittsburgh team.
They were mighty, forever. The Pittsburgh win was like beating Dracula. I was in a dorm in Lake Charles for the Mazeroski HR.
The whole room was full of southerners except me.
You would have thought they learned the south really did win the civil war.

2. UCLA Wooden. Amazing. Aided by 4 years of servitude of Alcindor, and then Walton, and then Wicks and Rowe, they won 10 in a 12 year period. Dynasty.

Ming, Yankees, UCLA.

The rest are chopped liver, in the USA.
Montreal Canadiens were also, in hockey.

In lower classes of college divisions, some coaches/teams have won some NAIA or D-II sport a zillion years in a row.

In a five year period of winning a championship for three years

Say from 01-05
Team A wins 03,02,04
DYNASTY

If you focus on being one of the top teams of an era, then the Bills of the early 90s are a dynasty.

a 3 peat or more consecutively is an automatic dynasty.

4 or more, not necessarily consecutively within 7 years is a dynasty.

Your team, in other words has to dominate the decade in similar fashion to this ^
