What turns a winning team into a dynasty? According to many, legitimate dynasties are teams that not only won two or more titles but combine personality, superstar talent, and consistent winning seasons. They are teams that you either love or love to hate.
While basketball dynasties have been talked about in sports media circles-especially over the last few months-there isn't been a book that explores these top teams in basketball history. Dynasties features 10 winning teams that redefined the sport in their own way. Organized by dynasty beginning with the Minnesota Lakers (1948-1954) and ending with the Warriors (2015-the present), the book tells the story of each team with player and coach profiles (including some of the sports all-time greats: Johnson, Bird, Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, Curry), key games, playing styles and tactics, controversies, and more. Also featured are teams and players that were frequent rivals to dynasty teams (such as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers), teams that could have been dynasties, and possible future dynasties.

"Marcus Thompson is one of my literary heroes and he shows why in this book, giving a fresh perspective on some of the best dynasties in NBA history, using the Town voice that has set him apart from his peers for nearly two decades."
“Marcus Thompson is the perfect voice for a book like this. His style is so conversational, you just want to grab a blanket, curl up & get comfortable…Once you get started, you're hooked.”
“Have you ever read a book that made you realize exactly why you love basketball? This is the one. Marcus Thompson has written a classic for hoop heads and history nerds to relish. Dynasties shines in its portrayal of what we all secretly love to hate: greatness.”
