This week we brought you the Top 100 Sports Moments and Top 10 Hottest Female Athletes of the decade. But we all know there ain't no "I" in team, and it takes a whole squad to get to the glory—word to the cast of Bukkake for Kitty—so we're back to finish off the week with our Top 10 Teams of the Aughts.
Now we're not looking for those who won championships but were boring as hell (we see you San Antonio Spurs, we just wish we didn't have to watch). Instead, we listed the teams that mixed a little excitement with their excellence. We're sure you have your own list, but you're reading ours, so without further Freddy Adu...
2. 2008 U.S.A Olympic Basketball Team "The Redeem Team"
KEY PLAYERS: Coach K, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul
WHY THEY MADE IT: After settling for bronze at the 2004 Games, Team U.S.A pulled out all the stops to ensure the gold would return to the basketball Mecca, with Coach K getting NBA All-Stars to check their egos for the good of the squad. We still think it's a damn shame A.I. didn't make the cut though.

1. 2004 Boston Red Sox
KEY PLAYERS: Curt Schilling, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Johnny Damon, Jayson Varitek
WHY THEY MADE IT: After 86 years without a title, the Red Sox survived getting hit by a girl to break the Curse of the Bambino. Although they get enshrined in the Lame A-holes Hall of Fame for popularizing the phrase "cowboy up."
