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. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson Dallas Cowboys in the 1990sTroy 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 Jordans 1996 Chicago BullsLast 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. The 1995-96 NBA Chicago Bulls pose for a team portrait Southern California college footballFeaturing Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush, they were one of the greatest football teams that ever played, looked unbeatable and on course to win Pete Carrolls third straight national title… right until Texas beat them in 2006. The man that beat them that night? Vince Young.Miami HeatA 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 ColtsRemember when everyone talked up the offensive juggernaut, starring Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James? Thanks to Mannings incredible arm, Harrisons 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 wasnt until James left that Manning won his first Super Bowl. Peyton Manning hands the ball off to Edgerrin James 1927 New York YankeesThey had the nickname of Murderers 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 theyve 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 MossMoss 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 couldnt 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 CelticsThe 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 didnt win thereafter. Mixed feelings?LA LakersThe team of 2000-2002 took home three straight championships, and starred Kobe Bryant, Shaquille ONeal, Derek Fisher. Kobe and Shaq werent 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. Terrell Edmunds Womens Jersey . The Brazilian international goalkeeper was beaten twice in the first 12 minutes of his Reds debut in a 3-1 preseason loss to Columbus Crew in Florida earlier this week. Lynn Swann Youth Jersey . Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris, city natives, handled the catering for teammates that begged them for the tasty postgame feast. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Steelers-John-Stallworth-Jersey/ . Canada will host the second stop on the circuit, the 2014 Skate Canada International in Kelowna, British Columbia from October 31 - November 2, 2014 at Prospera Place. Joe Greene Steelers Jersey . Algeria led 3-0 at halftime, but withstood a stronger South Korean second half performance to claim its first World Cup win since 1982 and move into second place in Group H with one match left to play. Defeat for South Korea means it must now beat already-qualified Belgium to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout stages. Justin Layne Youth Jersey . Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres came to an agreement on a big trade that may only offer incremental improvement to the Blues in their quest for a Stanley Cup.Steve Sidwell scored a stunning 50-yard goal as Brighton beat Bristol City 2-0 at Ashton Gate in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday evening. Jamie Murphy doubled the lead with a deflected effort as Chris Hughtons men won their fourth game in a row and made it four matches without conceding in a clash which will be remembered for the audacious strike by Sidwell. The result keeps the Seagulls in second place, four points behind Newcastle - who beat Cardiff 2-1 earlier in the day to maintain their lead at the top - and also means they are unbeaten in their last 10 league games. It was a frantic opening five minutes to the game, with Tammy Abraham posing the most danger with his pace and movement and the on-loan Chelsea star played a wonderful reverse pass into the path of Lee Tomlin, but he was unable to make the most of it and blasted wide. Brightons Steve Sidwell scored from the halfway line to opening the scoring against Bristol City Brighton eventually settled into the game, but it was still the Robins controlling possession, former Middlesbrough star Gary ONeil dictating proceedings in the middle of the park.But, when Korey Smith lost the ball just near the halfway line, Sidwell produced a moment of magic to put Brighton into a 13th-minute lead after winning back possession, he looked up and hit a left-footed strike past a stranded Richard ODonnell, who was well of his line for his first goal since April.The 33-year-old, formerly of Reading, Chelsea and Aston Villa, then ran to the sidelines with his team-mates to celebrate by holding up the shirt of the absent Anthony Knockaert, who was grieving following the death of his father.Despite their bright start, Bristol City were rocked by that goal and failed to recover sufficiently and several minutes later found themselves two-down courtesy of a Murphy strike. Bristol City manager Lee Johnson was critical of the way his side performed The Scotland winger - who was causing all sorts of problems on the wing - cut in from the left and after feigning to shoot, eventually did and found the bottom corner via a deflection to give Brighton complete control.ddddddddddddKnowing they needed to improve, Bristol City came out, determined to reduce the deficit and get back into the game, but Hordur Magnusson wasted an opportunity when he headed right into the arms of David Stockdale. Down the other end, Brighton were still hoping to increase their own advantage and Glenn Murray - who was leading the line well - turned superbly before finding Jiri Skalak, who could only hit a stinging drive to warm the palms of ODonnell.Veteran forward Aaron Wilbraham came on to offer some much needed support to Abraham and there was a moment of worry for Bristol City, when ONeil went down momentarily after taking a high boot to the jaw. Brighton manager Chris Hughton praised the dominant nature of his sides victory The introduction of Wilbraham was giving the Brighton defence something different to think about and he should have been awarded a penalty after he was clearly fouled by defender Shane Duffy, but the referee was not interested, despite the strikers protests.Substitute Tomer Hemed ignored the calls of his colleagues and blasted one final effort high into the stands, but it did not matter as Brighton left with the victory and Bristol City slipped out of the play-off places. Brighton vs A Villa November 18, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Following the match, Brighton boss Hughton told Sky Sports that Sidwells strike had settled his sides nerves.It was one of those strikes, where as soon as he hit it, I knew it was in. It was a difficult one for the goalkeeper because it was unexpected and it was with his left foot.A wonderful opener for us and as I said, any nerves we might have had, it calmed us down. ' ' '
