Let’s not make this too difficult. If I were to name you a sports dynasty, you’d not only be able to name the star player who won all those rings, but the coach who partnered with that player. Sometimes, the coach even takes the glory when we remember those teams.
The names come off the tongue easily: Jordan’s Bulls, Bird’s Celtics, Brady’s Patriots, Jeter’s Yankees. Then you’ve got Popovich’s Spurs, Riley’s Lakers, Saban’s Crimson Tide, Wooden’s Bruins, Ditka’s Bears. For one reason or another, some teams are remembered by the brains of the operation, others by the superhero athlete.
