Infographic: 2012-13 Miami Heat vs. 2004-05 CSKA Moscow – Who’s more impressive?

March 20, 2013

As the Miami Heat look to add another W to their ongoing historic 23-game streak when playing at the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, here’s a nifty little argument discussion starter put together by BallinEurope’s Lithuanian agent Y.

Sure, the Heat’s run is mighty impressive, but just look at what CSKA Moscow did to the competition in both Euroleague and Russian play in 2004-05: The Dusan Ivkovic-led side featuring all-time greats Theo Papaloukas and J.R. Holden strung together 42 consecutive wins over a six-month period for a record that may never be broken. The team ultimately took the Russian League and Cup titles, but fell in the Euroleague Final Four. (An ominous sign for King James & Co.?)

So see below and/or click on the image for larger version and tell BiE: In the parlance of our times, who’s the “more dominant”? (Y.’s title for the infographic may have been ironic…)

    CSKA was more impressive. In 55 years no European team has ever even come close to matching it.

    The only other streak of such incredible significance I can think of was when Aris won 80 straight games in the Greek League.

    Actually, we should probably include the 80 game Aris win streak in the discussion as well.

      Or how about UCLA’s 88 game winning streak?

    Winning streaks are great and are a characteristic of dominance, but if you don’t win the last game of the year, it is all for naught.

    So

    best in NCAA = 88 UCLA
    best in European domestic league = 80 Aris
    best in Euroleague/European domestic league = 42 CSKA
    best in NBA = 33 Lakers
