Dynasty

For other uses, see Dynasty (disambiguation).

A sports dynasty is a team that dominates their sport or league for multiple seasons or years. Such dominance is often only realized in retrospect. Whether a team has achieved a dynasty is often subjective, and can be a frequent topic of debate among sports fans. Some argue that a dynasty requires consecutive championships over a period of time, as in the case of UCLA Bruins men's basketball from 1964 to 1975, others suggest that non-consecutive championships are sufficient, as in the case of the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and some feel that a team must simply dominate its league but need not win championships, as in the case of the Buffalo Bills of the early 1990s who lost four consecutive Super Bowls. Some leagues maintain official lists of dynasties, often as part of a Hall of Fame (e.g. National Hockey League).

Dynasties in question

Whether a team has achieved a dynasty is often subjective, and can be a frequent topic of debate among sports fans. Some argue that a dynasty requires consecutive championships over a period of time, as in the case of UCLA Bruins men's basketball from 1964 to 1975, others suggest that non-consecutive championships are sufficient, as in the case of the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and some feel that a team must simply dominate its league but need not win championships, as in the case of the Buffalo Bills of the early 1990s who lost four consecutive Super Bowls.

  • Buffalo Bills won 4 AFC Championships in a row from 1990-1993 (three times by a spread of greater than 14 points), the only team ever to do so, and for this they are sometimes considered a dynasty[2][47]. However, they went on to lose the Super Bowl all four times.
  • Boise State Broncos football from 1998 to present. At 113-26, their 81.29% win rate is the highest in the nation.[48] Won 10 of 12 conference championships from 1999 to 2009, undefeated in conference play from 2002 through 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2009, perfect 13-0 season in 2006, but has never been elected Division 1-A national champions.
  • San Antonio Spurs of the 2000s (4 NBA championships (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007) in 9 seasons) are considered a dynasty by some,[28][29] but not by others [30][31] because they have yet to win consecutive titles.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers of the 2000s (2 Super Bowl championships in 4 years (2005 and 2008), 5 division titles (2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008), 4 conference championship game appearances (2001, 2004, 2005, 2008)[49]

Atlanta Braves 1991-2005 14 straight division championships. However the Braves only won one World Series in the five times they represented the National League in the World Series.[citation needed]
