Honestly first thing I thought of.

Got blown out by Dirk.
Won the next two.
Kawhi ended them.

4 NBA Finals appearances but two lopsided losses isn't really much of a dynasty.

Chiefs 4 Super Bowl appearances and won 3 of them, now that's a Dynasty.

#5 looks like it's loading. Labeling them "a weak dynasty" is funny :mjlol: :heh:
I’m guessing his argument is that in each of their Super Bowls, they could’ve easily lost each game. Even some of their AFC Championship appearances that got them to the SB, they could’ve lost those games as well (Bills and Ravens off the top of my head).

Chiefs had plot armor.

The NFL is a business first, entertainment second.

Them winning the SB last year was a straight up business decision. Refs made sure they walked out with that trophy. Had to make sure the Swifties feel good. :yeshrug:

They did the same shyt for Tom Brady.

Fragile...maybe the Patriots.

Very dominant in terms of W/L and rings but they didn't pass the eye test except for 2007....and that's when they lost.

They were dominant in a frustrating way because they always won...not because they felt unstoppable.
the Patriots always felt inevitable tho


it was part of their aura

Major case squad
In the last few decades, the 2010-14 San Francisco Giants won 3 rings but were never that strong a team, just had playoff heroics

That’s one of my biggest beefs with MLB. It’s by far the hardest American sport to win a chip in.

A team can be mid for 162 games and barely make the wildcard but magically get hot for 13 games to win it all. The Rangers were a perfect example of that last year. Spent majority of the year barely above .500 or even 10 games below at some points.

You don’t see that in the NFL and NBA.

3peat Lakers and that isn’t a insult. It was just Shaq and Kobe with role players

3 peat Lakers had 1 legit non ref title. 2001
B2B Lakers with bean were corny and barely got by some weak injured teams

:umad:
They really didn’t have much competition besides the kings in 2002. In 2000 they were up 3-2 on Portland in the western finals with Kobe averaging 17 points on 40% shooting with 25 fouls committed on the series to that point. Portland managed to lose game 7 with Shaq getting 9 shot attempts all game. Got to face the absolute lowest point of the eastern conference. The pacers led by Jalen Rose & Reggie Miller, a sixers team whose #2 was Eric snow or Dikembe, and a nets team whose best player was useless as a scorer.

the Patriots always felt inevitable tho

The problem with examining the pats is that their biggest games were usually defined by the other team doing something maddeningly stupid that cost themselves the game entirely on their own.

The tuck rule game where John Gruden calls a timeout which gives the linemen time to clear the spot for Vinatieri to kick from, the afc title game where Joey porter drops a pick 6, the Super Bowl where the rams don’t feature Marshall Faulk heavily in their game plan, the Super Bowl where John Kasay sends the kickoff out of bounds with 90 seconds left after Carolina ties the game (no other team has done that in any game this millennium. Literally happened just once in the past 25 years), Philadelphia not running the hurry up while down late, Marlon Mcree trying to run after the pick that would’ve won it for San Diego if he went to the ground, Jacksonville deciding their game plan was to give Brady a clean pocket and never pressure him in 2007, the chargers best players all being hurt in 2007, Lee Evans dropping the winning touchdown catch with 45 seconds left, Flacco throwing a horrible pick the possession before, Harbaugh rushing the kicking unit out while he had a timeout and then the kicker missing a 32 yard kick to force overtime, Baltimore blowing 2 separate 14 point leads because their coaches never thought to bench their worst corner who the pats threw at 19 times in a single game (14 completions for 225 yards and 2 scores) followed by Flacco throwing two hideous picks off his back foot in a clean pocket on 2nd down with plenty of time left both times into double coverage, Seattle’s OC calling a pass into the middle of the defense at the 1 instead of giving Marshawn the ball, Atlanta refusing to run the ball after taking a 28-3 lead (they dropped 2 picks on the game tying drive too), and of course Dee Ford lining up offsides on the game winning pick in the 2018 afc title game which had no impact on the play.


More than anything you were always waiting for the other team to blow it and they usually did it all on their own. We nearly got it in the 2006 afc title game too. Bob sanders dropped a pick 6 on third down with Indy trailing on the pats second to last drive so the colts offense had to get a touchdown on their final drive against the 2nd best scoring defense in the league.

Do teams that don't win a ring count?

Because if so then I say the '08-10 Celtics.

They still eating off that one one damn ring with 2 appearances in 3 years. Won the first against Kobe with no Center.:childplease:

Also if this counts. you might have one with the Dodgers:mjcry:

Oh my God. You definitely weren't watching ball back then. Even if you tuned in to NBC you weren't watching.

Call Kobe and Shaq and that crew a "weakest dynasty" ESPECIALLY the '01 crew. :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::childplease:

EVERYONE went into that season saying "shyt Lakers got it LOCKED". That team would still go far with its length, defense and scoring.

Holy shyt.
