The Redeem Team documentary on Netflix: Release date, trailer, how to watch
Since the Dream Team became the first U.S. men’s professional team to dominate the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the United States has won its next two gold medals, further cementing its status as a global basketball powerhouse.
At Athens 2004, that was reversed when they lost in the semi-finals to eventual gold medalists Argentina, settling for bronze with a team featuring stars including Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Stephon Marbury and the young trio of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
This loss weighed on the 2008 project called the redeem team, led by Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, James, Wade and Anthony, tasked with the mission of restoring US basketball to its place at the top of the tree in Beijing.
On Tuesday, Netflix released the first trailer of The Redeem Team, the documentary about their gold medal run at the 2008 Olympics, featuring behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Bryant, James, Wade and Anthony.
When will The Redeem Team be released?
Netflix announced The Redeem Team will be available to stream on October 7, 2022.
