Everyone is pretty excited about the Golden State Warriors securing the services of Kevin Durant on a two-year deal, with some saying that this could be the greatest basketball team of all-time.
Here, we look at other great teams which have adorned American sport...
1992 US Olympic 'Dream Team'
It was an embarrassment of riches put together for the Barcelona Games, featuring Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, John Stockton and David Robinson. The tickets to Team USA basketball games were more in-demand than tickets to the Olympic Stadium, and the team walked off with gold medals - having beaten everyone into submission.
Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s
Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith all came in from college and ruled the roost. Their addition of Deion Sanders - one of the most talented cornerbacks in the game on a seven-year, $35million (£27m) contract was additional team-building in 1995 - the year they won their third Super Bowl.
Michael Jordan's 1996 Chicago Bulls
Last year, everyone talked about the Warriors and their regular season record, but did they win a title? Nope. One 'Super Team' did: starring Jordan, Pippen and rebounding king Dennis Rodman. They set the record for regular season wins and won the NBA title 4-2.
Southern California college football
Featuring Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush, they were one of the greatest football teams that ever played, looked unbeatable and on course to win Pete Carroll's third straight national title… right until Texas beat them in 2006. The man that beat them that night? Vince Young.
Miami Heat
A dream team when they put together LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all together in 2010, only to see them lose in the NBA Finals in 2011. They gathered things up and won in 2012 and 2013 before being demolished in 2014 by the San Antonio Spurs. James left for Cleveland a year later, and Bosh left too. Wade has just played his last season for the Heat, signing instead with the Chicago Bulls.
Indianapolis Colts
Remember when everyone talked up the offensive juggernaut, starring Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James? Thanks to Manning's incredible arm, Harrison's great catching and great running work for James, the Colts had the wins, the MVP votes and frightened the life out of most defensive co-ordinators. But it wasn't until James left that Manning won his first Super Bowl.
1927 New York Yankees
They had the nickname of 'Murderer's Row' and it was simple to see why. The eight-man batting line-up, contained four Hall Of Famers (Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri and Earle Combs). They had two starting pitchers who went to the Hall, too. But the Yankees have tried to build 'dream teams' most of the time in recent years until nasty things like salary caps stopped their progress. Sometimes they've been successful (1998-2000), but the 2013 team - which contained five of the top 25 highest-paid players in baseball - certainly was not. Instead, their hated rivals, the Boston Red Sox, won it all.
Tom Brady and Randy Moss
Moss had a spectacular 2007-2010 with The Greatest Living Quarterback throwing balls to one of The Greatest Living Wide Receivers. In 2007, they broke the NFL scoring record with Brady throwing 50 TDs and Moss catching nearly half of them (23). But the one record they couldn't keep? The one they most craved - the unbeaten season. Eli Manning, David Tyree and Michael Strahan sarcastically send their apologies for disrupting the party.
Boston Celtics
The team with Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce was named 'The Big Three' - drawing comparisons to Celtics' greats of old - was banded together in 2007, and won the NBA Finals of 2008. With the Red Sox and Patriots winning that year, Boston was renamed 'Title Town'. The Celtics didn't win thereafter. Mixed feelings?
LA Lakers
The team of 2000-2002 took home three straight championships, and starred Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Derek Fisher. Kobe and Shaq weren't exactly best friends off the court, but won three titles on it. And then Shaq left and won another one in 2006 with the Miami Heat, while Kobe had to wait until 2009 to win another one.
