1. Jordan Bulls. 6 titles in 8 years. Greatest player.
2. Showtime Lakers. 5 titles and 8 Finals appearances in the '80s.
3. Russell Celtics. Absolute domination in the late '50s through the '60s. The only reason they're not no. 1 is because I'm persuaded by the argument about there being fewer teams back then.
4. Duncan Spurs. 5 titles and 6 Finals appearances. Won 50 at least 50 games every year except for shortened seasons.
5. Kobe/Shaq Lakers. 5 titles and 7 Finals appearances, but I put them below Duncan Spurs because of some down years.
6. Curry Warriors. 4 titles and 8 Finals appearances. Will move up to 4th for me if they add another title.
7. Bird Celtics. 3 titles and 5 Finals appearances. Unfortunate for them that they existed at the same time as the second greatest dynasty. Still such great memories of them in the '80s doing battle with the Lakers and Pistons (I wasn't a sports fan yet when they battled Philly, but those must've been great, too).
8. LeBron/Wade Heat. Late addition I just thought of. 3 titles and 5 Finals appearances in a 9 season period has to count as a dynasty, right? Bird Celtics get the edge because of nostalgia and roster continuity?
Is this fair? Am I missing a great dynasty? I'm guessing that the Duncan Spurs v. Kobe/Shaq Lakers will be the biggest debate.
