Over & Back examines every major NBA breed in history and ranks the best from Jordan Bulls to Duncan Spurs and more!
Jason Mann and Rich Critch present a tiered classification strategy for NBA dynasties:
- Level 1: Domination over a long period
- Level 2: Long-term supremacy plus a certain level of short-term dominance
- Level 3: Dominance over a short period or excel over a long period
NBA dynasty rankings: Which team was the most dominant dynasty in history?
What dynasties were clear tier 1 locks, where do we put Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the ’80s Lakers, whether the Lakers in the 2000s were a single dynasty connected by Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson or two separate dynasties splitting the Kobe and Shaquille O’ Neal Lakers And Kobe/Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol Lakers?
We also wrestle with how Tim Duncan ranks the San Antonio Spurs, do David Robinson and Tim Duncan’s San Antonio Spurs like Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Duncan Spears, what about when Kohi Leonard enters the picture?
We’ll also look at how to handle John Havlicek Boston Celtics, where the ABA breed ranks in the 1970s Indiana Pacers, Larry Birds Celtics, and whether LeBron James, Julius Irving and Wilt Chamberlain are single player breeds, and much, much more.
