Are the Patriots the best sports dynasty since 1990?

Who has had the best sports dynasty in the 4 major sports since the 1990's.

The elite four are the New England Patriots from 2001-2014 (14 seasons), the New York Yankees from 1996-2007 (12 seasons), the Detroit Red Wings from 1996-2009 (12 seasons) and the San Antonio Spurs from 1998-2015 (17 seasons).

Criteria is you had to have at least a 10-year run of winning records and 4 Championships from 1990 on. Sorry but the Chicago Bulls of the 1990's don't fit the criteria. Yes, Chicago won 6 championships in the 90's. Then Michael Jordan left after the 1997-98 season and the Bulls became a laughingstock. 

You make the call. Who has had the best run?

First the cumulative regular season stats.
