The Best American Sports Teams of All Time ” /></p> <p>The purest joy in sports is watching your favorite team battle it out for greatness, both on the field and off. In sports, winning is everything. The long hours of practice and the grueling, heart-stopping games all lead up to one, all-important thing: coming out on top, either at the Super Bowl or in terms of profitability, record-making, and popularity. Not everyone can be number one. In fact, just a few teams ever make it to the top ranks. Let’s look at some of the best American sports teams of all time.</p> <h2><span style=Dallas Cowboys

In the aftermath of their jaw-dropping 1978 campaign, the Dallas Cowboys were named America’s Team—and for good reason. Formed in 1960, the Cowboys are the youngest NFL franchise on this list. It’s one of two teams to hold the record for the most Super Bowl appearances, making it to the big game on eight separate occasions. With more than 500 wins, the Cowboys have a winning percentage of roughly 55.4.

They’re not just successful on the field—they’re successful off the field, too. Worth a whopping 5.5 billion dollars, the Dallas Cowboys are one of the most profitable sports franchises worldwide.

Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are one of the most successful teams in the NFL, with more than 750 wins and a 55.4 winning percentage. They’ve won nine NFL championships, including one Super Bowl, and they hold the NFL records for the most retired jersey numbers and the most players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Bears are well-known for their storied rivalry with the Green Bay Packers. The two teams have faced each other nearly 200 times, and Chicago has historically come out on top, with 98 wins to the Packers’ 88.

Green Bay Packers

Another one of the best American sports teams of all time is the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have a long history with the NFL. Formed in 1919, their roots trace back to a time before the NFL was a billion-dollar industry. They’re one of the most successful squads in the league, with 741 wins and 561 losses, or a winning percentage of 57.6. The Packers have been league champions a record 13 times, beating out their long-time rival, the Chicago Bears, by four.

Los Angeles Lakers

With 3,217 wins and a 60.4 winning percentage, the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t just one of America’s most popular teams—they’re arguably most successful. They’ve won 17 NBA championships, tied with the Boston Celtics for the most in NBA history. The Lakers hold multiple NBA records and have nearly 34 players, coaches, and contributors—including Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal—in the Hall of Fame.
