Astros need to win another title or two in the next 3-4 years to be considered a dynasty imo.

I think the Astros most definitely is currently a dynasty and the 90s rockets were too.

Yeah, the Yankees were a bigger Dynasty, but after that only the 09-14 Giants could rank as a bigger Dynasty than the Astros, and even then the Astros had more WS appearances in a 6 year span..

If participating in 7 consecutive league championships( which only the Astros have done) and 4 out of 6 WS doesn't make a team a dynasty, then there's just no dynasties anymore. What the Astros have done is comparable to the Chiefs and they are by far the biggest dynasty in the NFL right now.

2001-2019 Patriots were definitely a dynasty

I said NFL dynasties right now.
The Pats are not a right now dynasty. That Dynasty no longer lives.

Chiefs are pretty much the only NFL dynasty right now.
49ners are a distant next.
Then it falls apart after that. Bills and Ravens are perennial almosts.

The 90s Rockets was definitely not a dynasty. Good two year run but the Bulls was the dynasty.

TBH, I don't consider the Chiefs a dynasty yet either. Usually at least 3 in short amount of years equals a dynasty. If the Chiefs win this year, I'd consider them a dynasty. The Patriots didn't use that word until they beat the Eagles to win that third back in 2005. I hardly consider you a dynasty if you reach your respective sports championship final or series and have equal or more losses to wins. The Astros are 2-2.

2000s Spurs (3 in 5 years)
2010s Warriors (3 in 4 years)
late 90s early 00s Yankees (4 in 5 years)
2010s SF Giants (3 in 5 years)

Yeah and just to add for the Bulls - Two separate 3 peats in the 90s. They literally owned the entire decade. If MJ doesn't leave for baseball they most likely win 8 in a row. Yes it's debatable but they would have been the odds on favorite both seasons that he stepped away.
