In basketball the Lakers won three straight titles from 2000-2002, adding two more in 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile, the Spurs won four Larry O’Brien Trophies during a nine year stretch.

What would baseball be without Jeter or Mariano? What would basketball be without Kobe or Duncan? What would hockey be without Martin Brodeur between the pipes in New Jersey?

They are fixtures in professional sports and their respective cities for a long, long time. Nobody quite knows how much more we are going to have of them. These types of players come around only ever so often, and the world of sports will lose one of its playing icons in the upcoming days – or weeks, depending how long the Baltimore Ravens playoff run continues.

It’s a rare and happy thing to grow great and old in your craft. It’s a gift, an achievement, and a testament to one’s hard work and unique skillset. However, we tend to overlook sustained greatness across the years, and mistake it for something mundane. But genius that repeats and repeats over the long haul is the rarest gift in the world.
