The Redeem Team: Getting Inside the 2008 U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball Team

The Redeem Team is a Netflix documentary that revolves around the 2008 U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball team. The team, made up of NBA superstars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, was assembled in an attempt to redeem America’s honor on the world stage after a disappointing performance in the 2004 Olympics.

The 2008 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team was a star-studded group featuring some of the best players in the world. Led by Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, the Redeem Team cruised through the Olympics, winning all eight of their games en route to the gold medal. But while they may have looked like a team of destiny on the court, there was a lot more going on behind the scenes.

During the documentary’s opening scene, the two basketball legends were asked many questions by interviewers regarding the upcoming Beijing games, a league that gives the opportunity for the US Olympic Men’s Basketball Team to redeem themselves. Just a quick note,

That said, Bryant was asked what it would mean for them to get a gold medal and how it differs from winning an NBA championship. Bryant then responded, stating that the restoration of national pride came before all things, and he sensed that even Celtics supporters wearing Kevin Garnett jerseys could set their loyalty aside and support the great Lake for a single game.

While watching the documentary, you’ll notice that it highlights Kobe’s incredible work ethic and focus – even his teammates are in awe of what he’s capable to do to win. He may not be as loud and vocal as LeBron, but he sure is deadly on the court. As what others would say, he’s silent but deadly.

If you’re planning to watch The Redeem Team on Netflix, make sure to have fast home internet so you don’t have to endure buffers and low-quality video resolution while streaming. The last thing you want is to have your experience ruined by a slow internet connection.

Unfortunately, this documentary is only exclusive on Netflix as of now. However, many basketball fans are hoping to see this documentary on other streaming services in the near future.

Mike Krzyzewski and Kobe Bryant

As the head coach of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball team, Mike Krzyzewski had the daunting task of wrangling a group of superstar players and getting them to buy into his system. But he was up for the challenge, and he had a secret weapon in Kobe Bryant.

Bryant had played for Coach K at the 2006 FIBA World Championships, and the two had formed a close bond. So when it came time to select the players for the 2008 Olympics, Coach K made sure to include Bryant on the team. And it paid off, as Bryant was one of the most important players on the Redeem Team.

However, Bryant was far from perfect. In fact, Bryant had his own issues with his team, specifically with his poor shot selection that prevented his team from winning an exhibition game versus Australia. Shot selection is often one of the main criticisms leveled against him, and Coach K knew he had the responsibility to reel him in.

Stream The Redeem Team Now

The Redeem Team is a must-watch for any basketball or sports documentary fan. It’s an inside look at one of the greatest teams ever assembled, and it tells the story of how they came together to win the gold medal. If you’re looking for a great documentary to watch on Netflix, this is it.

However, before anything else, you should make sure that you have a stable internet connection. If your internet provider is giving you a headache due to throttling or constant downtimes, we recommend you switch to a different provider, like Verizon or HughesNet.

Final Thoughts

The Redeem Team is an excellent documentary that tells the story of how the United States Men’s Basketball team won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics. It’s an inside look at the team, and it features interviews with Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Coach K, and the rest of the team. This is a must-watch if you’re a fan of basketball or sports documentaries.

Artifacts Rapper Tame One Dies at 52

Tame One, the New Jersey rapper best known for his work in the hip-hop trio Artifacts, has died, NJ.com reports. No official cause of death has been provided. Tame One was 52.

Born Rahem Brown in New Jersey, Tame One was drawn to graffiti art from an early age, and became a graffiti writer himself. “As a general person, I’m the quiet type,” he said when asked about his moniker in a 2004 interview. “I sit back in the cut. In my younger days, I was a regular terror but I’ve mellowed out. For the name, I just carried it over from my graffiti days. That was the name I was writing on walls. So, when I started rhyming, I didn’t want people to be, ‘Who are you?’ Everyone was coming out with these astounding names like MC Killer Rapper and all that other nonsense. I had to be me. I had to be myself. I wanted people who knew me on the street, to know me on a record. So they could say, ‘Oh, that’s the Tame-One dude? That’s the dude who has his name everywhere!'”

Tame One co-founded Artifacts with El Da Sensei and DJ Kaos in 1988. The group released their debut album, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, via Atlantic’s Big Beat imprint in 1994. They put out another album, That’s Them, in 1997 before breaking up shortly after. Following their dissolution, Tame One remained a presence in the underground scene and issued his debut LP, 2003’s When Rappers Attack on Eastern Conference Records. He also joined Weathermen, a rap supergroup formed in 2002 by Cage Kennylz and El-P, and featured on a number of tracks on their 2003 mixtape The Conspiracy.

Tame One continued releasing solo albums, EPs, and singles throughout his career. He teamed up with Cage for the 2004 record Waterworld, released under the name Leak Bros, Dusted Dons for the 2006 collaborative LP Slow Suicide Stimulus, and Del the Funky Homosapien for the 2009’s Parallel Uni-Verses.

Paying tribute to the rapper on Instagram, El-P wrote: “I don’t even know what to say. Rest in peace to Tame One. The Artifact, the Weathermen crew member, the leak brother, the legend, and undoubtably the friend and family of many broken hearted people.”

Low’s Mimi Parker Has Died

Low’s Mimi Parker Has Died

Low’s Mimi Parker has died. Alan Sparhawk, her partner and the band’s other half, revealed the news on social media, writing: “Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but… She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.”

Parker was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in late 2020. She first spoke publicly about her diagnosis on the Sheroes Radio podcast in January of this year, and the group recently canceled a run of scheduled tour dates as Parker was undergoing treatment.

Parker was raised in Duluth, Minnesota, where she and Sparhawk would form Low in 1993 alongside bassist John Nichols. Her mother was an aspiring country singer who taught herself how to play guitar, as did one of Parker’s sisters, and they would often sing around the house growing up.

Recalling how she was brought on to play drums for Low, she said in a 2001 interview: “I guess it was always kind of a dream, not something I ever thought I’d do, but every once in a while I’d have the thought that playing music would be fun. So Alan and I talked about it and then he and John Nichols got together and came up with the idea of the band — slow and quiet.” She continued, “Around this time Alan was working at the arena in Duluth and he was in the basement and they had tons of old equipment from the orchestra that was there years ago. There was a drum down there and a cymbal. So he asked about it and this woman said, ‘Oh, I can’t give it to you, but why don’t you just take it.’ So he brought home a snare drum and a cymbal and kinda laid it on me. ‘You could just play drums in this band! It would be really easy!'”

Low released their debut album, I Could Live in Hope, in 1994 on Virgin Records’ Vernon Yard imprint. Favoring minimalist arrangements and dynamically subtle performances, the record helped define the genre that would become known as slowcore. Zak Sally replaced Nichols for 1995’s Long Division and its follow-up I Could Live in Hope, which brought the band further acclaim.

After three LPs on the independent label Kranky – 1999’s Secret Name, 2001’s Things We Lost in the Fire, and 2002’s Trust, Low signed with Sub Pop Records and issued their first album for the label, The Great Destroyer, in 2004. Sparhawk and Parker remained in the band through various lineup changes and continued diversifying their sound, which underwent a radical reinvention when they teamed up with producer BJ Burton for 2018’s Double Negative. Burton also produced its follow-up, last year’s HEY WHAT, which marked Low’s first album as a duo and was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical category.

Aaron Carter Dies at 34

Aaron Carter, the teen pop idol and younger brother of Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, has died, The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ report. Carter was found dead in his bathtub in his home in Lancaster, California. He was 34 years old.

Born in 1987 in Tampa, Florida, Carter released his self-titled solo album when he was nine years old and opened for the Backstreet Boys early in his career. His sophomore LP, Aaron’s Party (Come Get It), came out in 2000 and featured hits such as ‘I Want Candy’, ‘That’s How I Beat Shaq’, and the title track. Two more albums, Oh Aaron and Another Earthquake!, arrived in 2002 and 2003 respectively, and he wouldn’t release his fifth and final studio album, Løvë, until 2018.

Carter was occasionally a guest on Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel, and he also appeared on reality shows such as House of Carters and Dancing With the Stars as well as the Dr. Seuss musical Seussical on Broadway.

As an adult, Carter was open about his struggles with addiction and substance abuse. During a 2019 episode of The Doctors, he said had been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, and acute anxiety. Earlier this year, shared he had entered rehab for a fifth time in order to regain custody of his young son, Prince.

In August of this year, Carter told the Daily Mail he was working on a musical comeback. “I realized that I was killing myself and everything was being destroyed around me from it,” he said. “I was lying to the world and myself. Everybody deserves a second chance. I have not committed any crazy crimes… I am not how some people try to paint me. If somebody wants to call me a train wreck, well I’ve been a train that’s been wrecked multiple times and derailed by many different things. But I rebuild, get on the tracks and keep going.”
