- This is How KOBE BRYANT Built His Own Redeem Team
In 2004, the USA collapsed as the global leader in basketball. Other countries had started to make strides in their skill and had teams playing together for years. So in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the team knew who they needed. Kobe Bryant. Until the 1992 Olympics, the USA Men’s Basketball Team was constructed of only college players. No pros from the NBA were allowed in. Even with just college players the national team still dominated the early days of the sport. Winning a record 7 gold medals in a row.
But eventually, international play began to rise. Teams like the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia began taking away the gold from the USA. So what did we do? Screw it, release the pros!
The 1992 Olympics in Barcelona entered a new wave of domination from the United States. Being led by the duo of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, there was nothing the other countries could do...until 2004.
In today's video we look at Kobe Bryant at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Keep watching to see NBA news, NBA stories, and the latest on NBA Stars.

Kobe was the best man, sad he is gone.
Kobe definitely was the main reason they won because before him it was bronze heaven for them. Kobe showed them how to get that gold.
listen, there was no debating who is alpha? Prior to Kobe's arrival, it wasn't difficult to identify who was alpha amongst the dogs. When Kobe walked in, it was a lion introduced to that pack of dogs. Zero debate
Exactly.
He is indeed
Hrs the vet in this situation senority holds power most times it's not anything special
Give this comment a GOLD medal!
@@demonyuske713wrong. Not senority.
It was skill and will to win.
Kobe brought his mentality and impact his teammates into champion mentality.
It took the Olympics for Kobe to find teammates at his level, not just of talent but work ethic.
With that said he still didn't. As the video pointed out, he was the only one getting up as early as he was doing as many workouts as he did
Kobe scored 12 in the last 4 mins of that 2008 gold medal game against Spain to squash the furious rally by the Spaniards. Imagine that game w/o Mamba. USA was falling at the seams until Bryant took over.
Every Kobe story ever: …and he was already there
with ice on his knees lol
when kobe's mom went to the hospital to give birth to him.....
kobe was already there.... with ice on his knees
Miss Kobe so much.. rip 💔😢
The desire to win at all cost makes Kobe and MJ two of a kind. No body then and no one now in 2020s showing that kind of mentality in basketball. You want to compare to these two guys, no there will be no comparison, MJ 1 and Kobe 2 in the NBA history as the Greatest Of All Time G.O.A.T.
Now players is has Flop mentality like lebron
Ever heard of Luka Doncic?
Facts
@@YanfuSupernova got no defense and flops to much.
Kobe isn’t even top 10. Stop the narrative that he’s the goat just because of his mentality 🤦♂️🤦♂️
No Kobe, no Gold! Kobe was in his prime at 30 yrs old.
There was no discussion of who was better out of Lebron and Kobe back then it was clearly Kobe
Exactly!!! NONE. The discussion was Bron needed to win something. Which is why he left to MIA in the 1st place?
It STILL IZ
Because Lebron was young. By 2013 a majority of people shifted their stance to Lebron being better and today it’s clear Lebrons the better player all time. 🐍 still a legend but not quite as much as the 👑
You have LeBron fans in their feelings
THANK YOU.
People for some reason want to revise history or simply were too young to remember, but up until 2009-2010, Kobe was universally considered the best player on the planet.
Didn't matter who won MVP, that required other factors to win (like team success), but there wasn't really any serious debate. People would often discuss Lebron, but drop lines like "but we all know Kobe's the best in the world."
After Lebron finally won his first ring in 2012, & Kobe got older/more injured, the conversation shifted. We all knew Lebron was great, but he wasn't best in the world yet.
Love that the Assistant Coach on the 1992 Dream Team was able to coach them back to Gold!
My man just broke down the Redeem Team doc in 8 mins... Well played lol.
I love Kobe so much he inspires u mamba mentality for life
MY FAVORITE PLAYER MY IDOL KOBE BEAN THE CARAMEL CAT 🐱 INTO THE BLACK MAMBA🐍
Ricky Rubio was only 16 years old when he played against team USA. That's crazy. Rudy Fernandez played amazing too.
gosh i miss kobe
That 2008 wade was beast
He was a beast with the help of Kobe...was he not in the o2 team when they won bronze😊😅
kobe is my goat...missing black mamba
ALL you need to tell Bronsexuals is this:
Before Kobe arrived in 2008, Lebron AND Tim Duncan, and a stacked team, got BRONZE...TWICE against mostly non-NBA opposition.
😂😂😂
Kobe carried those cats.
he sure did! He really tought lebron how to work harder and has lead lebron to be either the goat or top 2! It's impacted his legacy greatly and I'm sure young lebron is thankful for that
@@Zythroxeslebronze James can never be my top 2....he is top 5 or top 8 at most
Love it! "The Lone Wolf, finally decided to ACCEPT a pack."
This video alone proves how valuable & better Kobe is to Lebron
Nah
@@fabstems3388 yeah Kobe hater Kobe's better than LeBron
@@hashmoncrief6965
Yet LeBron has already surpassed Kobe. Stop it....
He was at that point
Maybe in 08 lol
Kobe is my goat 💯
Beautiful storytelling Man! And i've heard stories about this team so It makes the story even better with the details on my mind
thank you 🙏
Kobe is goat and alpha. ❤️
as the saying goes, never release your best until your second pick gets defeated
These is the strongest team ever assemble on dream team. Considering players evolve and other countries played on NBA...
True, I even think that the Redeem team is better than the Dream team considering that there were no Foreign players played in the NBA yet and other countries would rarely see an NBA game. They don't have any idea on how to beat The Dream team yet. Unlike when they faced the Redeem team. CZcams and Cable TV would help other countries to study Team USA.
If the nba was full with wild cats KOBE DEFINITELY WOULD BE A LION A TRUE KING A TRUE LEADER
LeBron himself said Kobe was the best player around that time period. The so called debate of who's better didn't start until LeBron's 1st mvp.
Let's not try to re-write history lol.
amazing vid
Kobe Bryant was literally the SOLE reason why USA got back-to-back 🥇🥇
YES!!! Luv it.
Very accurate assessment and recollection of that team and situation. Excellent work.
Nice Vid
And still the disrespect towards the real King of LA. King Kobe! Will always forever be greater than phony lbjizz
"Lone wolf to accept the pack" Love it
Y’all gotta remember, he was coming off a Finals lost to the Celtics too. He wasn’t playing with them. He was out for blood. Kobe taught them how to win!! He came back to the NBA the following season & went to back-to-back Finals & WON them both!! Got the Magic outta there That was supposed to be his matchup wit Bron & then the Celtics again.
He said Kobe not Lebron.
CP3 was a dark horse in this team this was the last time was he was at that hornets level.. the best version he ever was
MJ said. If you want to get a chip pick kobe🤍
Bird also said, if you want to have a good time he'd play with Bron, but if he wants to win he'd choose Kobe.
4:56 - No. Kobe was about to head to the gym for a THIRD workout. Why did you edit the D Wade clip where he says Kobe had finished a 2nd workout while the team was sleeping and was headed to the gym for a THIRD workout when the team came down to eat? Get it right if you're going to post a video.
Kobe was a cereal work outter dude was all worked out cats looking around like they came from the club and seen Kobe working out Kobe made every player look like rookies compared to him and mj only those to men had the if ur prepared u don't have to get prepared very crazy
your honestly so underrated
LeClown is just LeClown, he needs to be in a super team to win it all.
just a recap of the redeem team on netflix
That's why I loved Kobe and That's why I loved basketball because of Kobe Bean Bryant
There are two kinds of Alpha, the winner alpha and the loser alpha. I think we're old enough to decipher who's who 😆
JELLY BEAN!!!
FIBA HAS TO TAKE OVER BASKET BALL AND LEARN FROM FIFA!! we need more international games!
Other countries with a bronze medal: 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
USA with a bronze medal: the biggest failure ever 😢😢
Fact: Kobe is better than LBJ. Stop comparing LBJ to MJ.
Not even close.
Idiotic comparison, Bron was young at that time and kobe has in his prime. Btw how about now?
@@fengzi9405 not even close. Idiotic reasoning.
Goat
Kobe is like thee closest player to ever play ball like His Airiness Michael Jordan [facts] & well if Mj is the Goat of basketball, well that makes the late Great Kobe Bryant “a” goat of the basketball he’s just not thee goat (that’s MJ) but Kobe he is got the whole package
•the man is ay Alfa
•natural Leader
•elite level performance.
Got to have that mamba mentality!
LeBron = Bronze. Kobe = Gold.
Mamba Mentality 2008-2012 🟰gold medals
Yugoslavia was a beast when it came to sports just remarkable but we eventually had to dismantle due to reasons we all know. 🙄
Spain was so good, if usa didn't train hard, it would have been Spain winning the upset
So lebron needed a player like Kobe... that's why lebron started recruiting behind the scenes...
Goat Jr
It's interesting that Lebron fans in the media want to rewrite history and say that it was Lebron that turned the USA team around. Clearly he was on the 04 and 06 Olympic team and still won bronze. Kobe was that dude. Kobe was the game changer, NOT LEBRON! I wish his fans can get that through their thick skull.
U deserve more
appreciate it
little mistake usa basketball lost to serbia/yugoslavia in 2002 world champioship that was the first major loss at the tournement not 2004
You obviously didnt watch this team. Wade was obviously the mvp of this team and the final game, he was cltuch at both ends, made clutch dishes and shots and didnt try bad shots, as Kboe did.
But before Kobe came in wade has won bronze😅....The joke is on you
Kobe was a better player all round that improved the disgraceful USA team from the hands of lebronze James and wade, who were addicted to bronze because of their bronze mentality
bro has 480 subs man
true
@@madhoopsyt the video went popular but yet people didnt subscribe im felling genorous today so i will subscribe
@@yoniamir9020 the homie
They shoulda got Christian Leitner
This is the evidence that Kobe is better than LeBron
Facts
THE BIGGEST NBA QUESTION ❓ EVER PRIME FOR PRIME THE 92 DREAMTEAM OR THE REDEEM TEAM THE ROSTERS WAS LOADED I FEEL LIKE THE REDEEM TEAM WAS FASTER
I hope Booker could be a legend like Kobe one day.
This is why Kobe is > LeFlop.
The only time I saw lebron with the killer mentality was against Boston in the finals. He went off. Barely missing a shot. They couldn't hold him.
When LeBron play Boston in the finals ?
@@bobanderson6675Typical Bron fan, casuals😂
Where the lebron fans here? Your goat got carries by Mamba
LeFraud fans ain't gonna like these FACTS
To Make excuses for LBJ for not winning 2004 OLYMPICS is to call him "young lebron" and all the teams are younger and younger.... duncan - 28 iverson - 29 LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣, MJ won 1984 OLYMPICS at age of 19 with college players and they even pulverized an NBA all star selection team before that, AND NO ONE CALLS HIM YOUNG MJ🤭😏 and comparing LBJ to magic is so ABSURD LOL🤣🤣🤣, it "WAS ALL KOBE at that TIME" he has the discipline, Leadership, and tenacity😏, LBJ is just overrated and RINGless player in 2008 no one's talking about until miami 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry man,but Kobe has 5 championship, not 3!!!!!!
At that point in time, he had 3. Redeem team was in 2008, Kobe's 4th championship was in 2009, 5th was in 2010.
2008 :)
'09 and '10 hadn't yet occured.
I just want state that Tim Duncan was on the 04 squad so those who like to think Tim Duncan is better than kobe
The play he hit Pau was the finals
Nop, they were in the same group
Huh? Bruh what are you replying to
Spain and USA were both in the same group. They were 3-0 apiece, so playing their fourth game. That one was dominated by the US easily (30+ pts). The final game was tougher.
scamming netflix content and remodeling it😂
LeBronze, thats why. Thanks to the Mamba
It’s Kobe. Not Lebron
When will everyone know & learn.
LeBronze made a documentary after Kobe's death about it too.... guy is the worst...
LeBron an alpha!? hahahaha!!!! Kobe is an ALPHA. LBJ?! come on.
LeBronze*
This would have been a nice comment in 2009-and I'm a Kobe fan. Stop the hate you ain't accomplishing anything you are but a tiny speck of dust in this comment section.
@@MKIVD wow a real Kobe fan
You just made Kobe and LeBron were friends in real life.
Why they got bronze... because they were lead by Lebronze. Until Kobe came along for gold
Kobe was a late addition, he didn’t build anything. He helped mold it tho.
Pretty sure no one was on that team that Kobe didn't approve of.
It was his team no matter how mad u are LeChoke failed twice they took home gold after they begged the Black Mamba to join a trash Olympic team (trash in the sense gold was the standard and they keep getting bronze not even silver bronze) he set the tone the mentality and the culture so he built that redeem team....... why u think the media silent on this documentary all their lies about Lebron exposed
@@Azidonis 😂
They would've LOST without Kobe
@@alanduff1054 kobe is the goat
lebron the bronze king🤣🤣🤣
This video is a lazy, easily cobbled-together, rehashing of WELL trodden paths. Quite dull.
Wade had a better games then kobe talk about the truth not juz what people want to here
Give the phone back to mommy and go back to the barbie dolls. Kobe was the lead dog...Period. casual
@bryangonzalez6069 no he wasn't wade 16 ppg said different
@skullyready7786 ah I see. Youve obviously never competed in your life. Please give the phone back to mommy and continue with your barbie dolls sweetheart. This room is for the adults that know what real leadership is about and not just point. Night night kiddo.
This proves Lebron cant lead he had a hall of fame team and got a Bronze Bean comes in and they dominate.
Kobe is a 5 times champ not a 3 times champ 🤡
In 2008 he hasn't won his 4th 🤡🤡🤡🤡🐷🐷🐷
Not in 2008 he wasn't yet.
But LeBron's better, right? Smh. Foh. Mamba all day.
Yes
Almost 3peat by winning bronze medal,,lebronze
Funny 😂,
Before kobe, the us was doing poorly in the qualifiers, 3rd and bronze not bad if you're not a powerhouse like usa 😂,
Kobe change the whole team that point,
Honestly i was kinda disappointed with the minutes kobe had in games but a quiet 10+ point whenever was super efficient and amzing now that i think of it,
The toughness and mentality he brought in, the tenacity and hunger,
Kobe wasn't named the best player if that era for nothing, he was ome of the best play makers, but got underated passer because he rarely pass the the ball, but whenever he's not shooting and facilitating it was money,
The impact he had was 2nd to none,
Untill now i still miss watching him play, rip mamba 🥲
