What's your definition of a sports dynasty?

For women's basketball what about that UCONN run starting with Lobo.

 

Anyone catch Robert Horry on the Dan Patrick show - it was either the day after the Spurs won or two days later?

Dan asked Robert: "So would you classify San Antonio as a dynasty?"
Fresh Prince: "Nah ... not yet."
Dan: "So, what does it take for a team to become a dynasty?"
Mr. 7 rings: "You need to win most of the championships in a decade. If we win next year, then yeah, you can call us a dynasty, but we need to repeat."

 

early 1980's NY Islanders qualify

 

Dynasty or no?: 1990s Buffalo Bills, Atlanta Braves, Pistons and late 80s Oakland A's.

 

No for Braves and A's because they only won one title. Dominance, not dynasty.

AFC dynasty for Bills, I guess, if there is such a thing and if you want to lower the standards. They did win the conference four straight times.

 

[blue]Plainfield Teacher's College - the only undefeated program in the history of college football. Now that's a dynasty! Johnny Chang should have won the Heisman trophy over Doc Blanchard. What a freaking joke that award is![/blue]

 

Lobo was on only one national championship team at UConn, the undefeated 1995 squad. She was the face of that team and the national player of the year, but got way too much hype on a team that had two future national players of the year (Jen Rizzotti and Kara Wolters) and Nykesha Sales.

The run of UConn teams that might qualify as a dynasty did note come until well after Lobo was gone...when the Huskies won national championships in 2000, '02, '03 and '04. Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Svetlana Abrosimova and Swin Cash among others were all better players than Lobo, who was tall and skilled, but VERY slow.

Yes, I looked most of that up. But the ridiculous amount of credit that woman gets always bugged me.
