This era cannot be called anything but a smashing success. Not only did they win for the first time in anybody we know's lifetimes but they did it with a largely homegrown roster, players that we watched intensively throughout their development, and in which produced a handful of legit All-Stars and a couple superstars. It was more brief than I anticipated, sure. I too had dreams of a longstanding dynasty, and watching the player development stagnate, and falling behind in some of the league-wide trends was surprising. But this was by far the most fun I had watching the team in my lifetime.
