The USA Olympic Men’s Basketball Team
Well, they won the gold. This “Redeem Team” was a success. The story behind the nickname is that they didn’t win gold in Athens in 2004 so they felt like it was redemption to win in 2008. The team consisted of many of the elite American NBA stars (Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, etc). However, if they had lost, it would have been more embarrassing than four years ago because they have been murdering opponents this year. In the end, they redeemed, but I wouldn’t call it anything important.
Overall Grade: B
