miami heat dynasty
Is The Miami Heat a Dynasty? A sports dynasty is a team that enjoys a period of dominance over the sport, generally by winning multiple championship titles. The age old question is what classifies a team as a dynasty? Does the team have to win back to back titles? How many titles must they have? Will they be this dominant in the future? The list of questions sport analysis have is endless. The issue remains that people argue over what defines a team as a dynasty. Todays most popular argument is whether or not the Miami Heat is a dynasty? Fortunately sports are closely followed and well documented and we are able to examine what teams have done in the past to establish dominance. The San Francisco 49ers football team from 1980-1990, won five NFL championship. The team was led by Hall of Famers: Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Steve Young, and coach Bill Walsh(football Hall of Fame). With five Super Bowl wins, the 49ers are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the second-most Super Bowl wins. Joe Montana threw for 3,521 yards and 26 touchdowns, with only 8 interceptions, giving him a 112.4 quarterback rating, which was then the highest single-season passer rating in NFL history, and was named NFL Most Valuable Player. Jerry Rice, in his fifth year in the league, continued to dominate; he led the league with almost 1490 receiving yards, and 17 touchdowns. The 49ers clinched their fourth straight division title (NFL). With a history and statistics as these it is hard to argue that they were not a Dynasty from 1980-1990. The Chicago Bulls won six NBA championships between 1991 and 1998 with two three-peats. All six championship teams were led by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson (basketball Hall of Fame). The Bulls won an NBA record-72 games during the 1995–96 NBA season and are the only team in NBA history to win 70 games or more in a single season. Jordan was named the Finals MVP sixt times in his career. He retired for the second time

They lost to the Orlando Magics in six games in the 3rd round. Freshly motivated by the playoffs defeat, Jordan had trained hard for the next season. The Bulls recruited Dennis Rodman a rebound…

    Michael Jordan Research Paper

    He was the overall third draft pick in 1984, behind Hakeem Olajuwon and Sam Bowie. The Bulls’ games lacked support from their fans, and they believed that they might even go out of business. To their advantage and surprise, Michael Jordan brought everyone back to their games and created a new world of basketball (Berger 61). In total, Michael scored over thirty-two thousand points averaging about thirty points per game. He played his position as a guard well, but was great on defense too. He grabbed over two thousand steals and eight hundred blocks in a span of nineteen years (Michael Jordan’s Biography). Another remarkable quality was his high intensity and hyper-competitiveness. As a rookie in the NBA, most people did not expect Michael to go so far. He worked hard with one of the best coaches of all time, Phil Jackson, and led his team along with him (Stein). His opponents believed that it was not even fair to play against him since he was unstoppable. One of his opponents, Michael Cooper from the Los Angeles Lakers, said, “There’s no way I can stop him. As soon as he touches the ball…He goes right, left, over you, around and under you. He twists and turns. And you know he’s going to get the shot off. You just don’t know when and how” (Berger 68). This proves how Michael gave an impression of an almost a God-like man when he…

    Chicago Bears Super Bowl Victory

    The 1985 Bears super bowl champion team really proves what hard work and dedication can lead to. This win obviously meant a lot to the many men on the field, and for the entire Chicago bears fan base. Coach Ditka put together an almost unstoppable offensive attack and their defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan made their defense arguably the best defense of all time. Proving how much impact the right coaching can have on a team, and also how the Bears could not have won without this superb coaching. Lastly, the struggle, and perseverance it takes to become one of the best teams of all time is unreal. Through the battles of the season the team became stronger and came out on top like true…
