#4 Miami Heat: 2010-11
The Miami Heat went on to build a superteam when they added LeBron James and Chris Bosh to their roster. Many people had high expectations from this team and even considered them as a superteam. Who would forget the day of July 8, 2010, when James held an hour-long special show on ESPN where he announced that he is taking his talent to Miami.
Some even expected that the Heat would beak the 72-10 record of the Chicago Bulls, but the Heat started the season with a record of 9-8 which troubled everyone who had faith in them. They further worked on the team's performance and came out of a losing streak to set a 12-game winning streak. They finished the season with 58-24 and were the second seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat had kind of a cakewalk up to the Eastern Conference finals as they dismissed every team they faced by a record of 4-1. By looking at the Western Conference winners, the Dallas Mavericks, it was clear that the Heat would sweep them out as the Heat had the best nuclear power an NBA team could ever have. But this didn't happen as expected, the Mavericks or the underdogs crushed the championship dream of the Heat team and the Heat failed as a superteam.
