Football - Barcelona - 2009-2011

NFL - Miami Dolphins - 1971-1972

NBA - Chicago Bulls - 1991-1999

F1 - Ferrari - 2000-2004

Rugby Union - New Zealand - 2011-2015

Football - agreed

NFL - The best team ever probably comes from the last 10-15 years or so as players are much better athletes with much better conditioning. You can't go strictly by Superbowl winners either, since luck plays a significant factor. I'd say the 2013 Seahawks, 2014 Packers, 2016 Patriots, and 2018 Chiefs all have a good shout. Patriots obviously weaker at QB but with the best coach.

NBA - The Warriors of 2017 are the best NBA team ever, that shouldn't be a debate.

F1 - Ferrari 2004 or Mercedes 2014. Should really be judged on the number of 1-2 finishes. I think Mercedes 2014 pips it. By speed only its Ferrari 2004, but you can't go by that due to regulation changes.

No idea with Rugby.

Although they never won anything, I’d still put 1950s Hungary and 2007 Pats up there
