NBA superstars and former teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have joined forces to produce a Netflix documentary on the 2008 Olympics U.S. men’s basketball team.
“The Redeem Team represents the very best of what the Olympics are all about,” Mark Parkman, GM Olympic Channel Services. “This film will bring viewers directly inside that team and the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 by showcasing the personality and dynamics of a special group of superstars who came together as one to reclaim basketball supremacy on the biggest stage in sports.”
The documentary is said to be filled with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the 2008 Redeem Team players as well as coach Mike Krzyzewski. After falling to Argentina in the semifinals led to a disappointing bronze finish at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, the documentary will cover the U.S. team's bid for Gold in the 2008 Beijing Games.
The team, whose name is a spin off of the 1992"Dream Team," beat Spain in the gold-medal game to claim Gold.
