Toppled Dynasties
The Boston Red Sox just beat the NY Yankees to complete the biggest series comeback in Major League postseason history. The Yankees were ahead in the series 3-0, then lost 4 straight games.
Earlier this year, the LA Lakers lost to the Detroit Pistons in the biggest upset in the NBA in several years. Those Lakers had 4 Hall of Fame players and one of the best coaches ever in the NBA. The Lakers eventually broke up, and people around sports realized the importance of desire and teamwork that the Pistons showed.
Both of these “dynasties” failed at what they were supposed to do this year. Do you think the elimination of the Yankees in this year’s postseason will push toward a change in professional sports as we know it? Will teams like the Yankees and the Lakers decide to spend less money and hunt for players with hidden talent and leadership?
