-Manchester City in world club soccer.
-Golden State "Warriors" in basketball.
Manchester City blew away the EPL competition last season. "The Centurions:" 100 points, 103 goals. Most wins in an EPL season. Sixteen of their twenty-five players in the World Cup!
Golden State: most wins, 73, in a season in 2015/16. Curry, Thompson, Green. Then add Durant. Then add Cousins.
Each occurring within three years of the other.
Talk of "best ever" with both.
In neither sport have we ever seen anything like this talent accumulation. Nor the dominance of competition. In any team sport?
Define "era." Ugh, you define "era." No, neither team is the '27 "Yankees" in talent. Neither has dominated competition as the "Yankees" of the 1950's did or as the Pittsburgh "Steelers" did in the 1970's.
This though feels different. Can't define it, just feel it.
