Are the Miami Heat a dynasty?
After back to back appearances in the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat just look primed for a dynasty.
They might end up that way. I'm just worried that one of the dumbest comments in history might nearly come true. You know "Not one......". The answer is probably yes.
Not yet. In the NBA I think you have to win at least 3 championships in a row to be a dynasty or 5 within a ten year period with a core group of players. The Celtics of the 60s (9 titles), the Lakers of the 80s (5 titles) , The Bulls of the 90s (6 titles), and to a lessor extent the Lakers (5 titles) with Kobe/Fisher from 2000- 2010.
If Miami wins this year and next year they will be counted among the elite teams. However if they only win two titles (including last year), they will be looked at like the Detroit Pistons of the 80s who won titles back to back. No one considers that team to be a dynasty.

As we all know, MIami Heat won back to back titles this year, in an epic game 7 series clincher no less. However, was that series fixed? Did David Stern purposely rig the game to where Miami cheated their way into another title? I personally don't think so, but a friend of mine brought...

I wrote a Hub about the two teams that can challenge the Miami Heat in the East a while back. Before the 27-game winning streak, the Miami Heat lost to the Indiana Pacers and the streak ended against the Chicago Bulls. Does anyone think different?
