Simple question.

Next season being even harder with Wade, Lebron, and Bosh. But that's a team that only looks good on paper as of right now.

If the Lakers are able to win another championship next season, would you call this a dynasty considering the degree of difficulty there is in repeating 3 seasons in a row.

It would certainly be the most impressive title run if they beat a Heat team in good shape, but I would hardly call a 4 year title contender a dynasty.

3 titles in a row are a dynasty. throw in 4 straight finals, yeah.

80s, most titles - LAKERs
90s, most titles - bulls
2000s, most titles - LAKERs
this decade?

we are in the lead with 1. and are about to win twice this decade in 2 years. which means if we 3peat, and we will be on a run to take another decade and dominate once again. our 3rd dynasty in 4 decades.

Yea for sure 3 titles would do it, with 4 finals appearances. Plus Lakers are basically a dynasty as team in the 21st century 2000,2001,2002,2009,2010. Can't wait till L.A vs. Miami for sure. Defending champs against a team that claims they will win multiple titles.

Hell YES

If they did they would do what Shaq/Kobe did in 5 years, a Finals loss and 3 wins in a row

PLUS they did it since they were teamed up. Shaq didnt carry the Lakers to the Finals UNTIL Kobe became the closer.
