1. Barcelona
I feel like Barcelone, the soccer team is the most perfect team around at this point. Last season, they proved how good they really were, trouncing teams with minimal effort. Every player on the roster, including backups occupy a place on the squad. They play the ultimate team game which can be appreciated by any sports fan. It is truly a lovely site to watch them play their game on the field.
2. Dallas Mavericks
This team has to be high up on the list. A group of veteran players who seemed like they couldn't keep up with the young guns of the NBA. But this team also was willing to play a team game. They stuck together on the court and all played their part to come out on top of the up and coming heat. An excellent team to watch playing.
3. Green Bay Packers
I think I have to go with championship teams first. It's only fair. This team proved last year that they were the best. They beat teams with such high expectations such as the Eagles, the Falcons, and the Bears in consecutive weeks, and came against the Steelers in the Super Bowl and topped them too. An excellent team who came together even when some of the best players were unable to play late into the season. The team was the big story.
4. Philadelphia Phillies
Earlier in the season this title for baseball's best team would have gone to the Giants. But a team which is all bullpen and no bat and is struggling out west, the best team in baseball gets the nod. With plenty of bat power coupled with an all star bullpen, this team appears to be one that is going to the World Series this year.
5. Los Angeles Lakers
I had to do it. I feel like this Laker team has all the talent, they just got tired. They were dethroned by the eventual champs. They felt like they could take it easy until the finals, but other teams were coming after them. But with the best player in the game in Kobe and three other potential all stars, this team has all the talent to win another championship.
6. Miami Heat
I hate to say this but yes the Heat are damn good. It sucks but they came together and with a little more effort from a certain player with all the talent anyone could ask for, this Heat team would have won the NBA championship. Even if they did cheat their way to it, there is no doubting the talent on the roster.
7. Real Madrid
Same as the Heat, I hate to say this. I mean they buy all of their players. They have this galacticos image that they have to keep up and it is important for this club to get all the best players that money can buy. They can have all the talent but teamwork is what trumps everything, as Barcelona displayed.
8. Boston Red Sox
Boston is playing well. Not quite on the level of the Yankees as far as payroll but yes they do have a large payroll. And they are rolling right now. On pace for near or over 100 wins I believe. This may be the team to beat in the American League. A solid bullpen and good bats. If they can continue this play into the postseason good things can happen.
9. Philadelphia Eagles
Philly is doing well on this list. But honestly if all their players can stay healthy that team should be damn near unstoppable. I mean its ridiculous. A lock down corner and two other really good ones. A good d-line. An unbelievable quarterback. A cunning coach. This team better not underachieve this season. Or many people will be disappointed.
10. Manchester United
Rounding out the top 10 is the legendery club, Manchester United with Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm. This team is crazy good. Similar to Barcelona, this team doesn't go out and buy all the best players in the world. They focus on homegrown talent and add pieces where needed. They have plenty of help at all positions. And as long as that new goalkeeper plays well, we may be looking at the Premier League Champ again this year.
That is all
