Das Redeem-Team

A documentary shot with pride, class & respect to it's source material.

"The Redeem Team" is a prideful inspirational film, that tells the story of the dominant rise of the USA basketball team on a global scale , the standard of excellence set for years and how it was in many ways neglected and taking for granted.

The failure of victory in 2004 and their difficult road back to greatness at the 2008 Olympic Games.

As an retired athlete, and a basketball fan. I felt educated, sadness, and tremendous emotion while watching this film. This is a document shot with class, respect, and immense quality.

If you love sports, or inspiring true stories, you will enjoy this documentary.

I'm not going to pretend I know about all the history of all the NBA players so my perception might be off, but I enjoyed this documentary. It shows the intentions, personalities, and most of all humbleness of players when playing for something greater than themselves. In the NBA, many of these players are perceived to be best of the best, which results in development of inflated egos. To watch the journey of them temporarily putting it down for the benefit of others, fosters that belief that we as humans aren't always selfish.

There's a growing tumor of entitlement that been slowly festering in American culture. Watching the journey the team went through to overcome the difficulties is refreshing as well as inspiring.

An amazing documentary that gives perspective not just on how great the USA basketball team was but also about the types of people it takes to be great.

Lebron and Kobe are the definition of being the best athletes of all time and the best people of all time.

These types of people don't come around often and we should feel blessed that we were privileged enough to be able to see their greatness.

To think this was only a part of all the great things they achieved in their lives puts it in perspective how many levels there is to this game that we call life.

Much respect for the gods and RIP to the GREAT Kobe Bryant!

Wow. Great lessons for building pride and respect. History lessons utilized to educate the team and viewers on the importance of both elements to becoming champions. Shout out to Coach K for his leadership in coaching the egos and the players. The importance of the China market to the NBA is highlighted especially with the ever valuable Kobe Bryant on the team. Last the humble Kobe applying himself for this team and national redemption. Just wow. Great documentary to teach Respect and Pride in the beautiful game of basketball from the American perspective. Team work and Olympic fans themselves.

The NBA represents the best of the best in basketball. Every kid with a gaming console knows it. So when America gets beaten at one of their own national sport, it's incredibly humbling, and embarrassing.

The Redeem Team tells a gripping behind-the-scenes look at how individual superstars came together as a team, so that the American flag, and anthem, could return back to the gold medal podium. The leadership, the stepping up, the discipline, the pride of the country over individual egos... all for America... is an incredible story put together brilliantly in this documentary.

A very good sports documentary indeed that's more than worth your time.
