A solid basketball documentary for all the sports fans out there

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

An exhilarating comeback story in The Redeem Team: The Netflix documentary is a fascinating look at the US men's basketball team’s quest to reclaim gold medal glory in 2008 — setting aside their individual egos as the NBA's biggest stars to play for each other and their fans. Here's some context: The 1992 US men's Olympic basketball team was dubbed "The Dream Team," including stars Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and other legends. NBA stars began to decline invitations to join the Olympic team and then the unthinkable happened — the US won a bronze medal in 2004. In 2008, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Carmelo Anthony stepped up to the plate to bring back the Olympic gold as The Redeem Team. LeBron James offers some comedic relief in the documentary, but the interviews with Kobe Bryant, who tragically died in a helicopter crash in 2020, are the most moving (watch trailer, runtime 1:56).
