The "Redeem Team" has done just that

By Al Fagerli ( Contact )   August 20, 2008

After the dismal performance by the United States men's basketball team four years ago,USA basketball woke up. Not only USA basketball,but the PLAYERS woke up.

Ever since the pros began making up the Olympic team,members of the team didn't seem to want to get involved in the experience. They would stay in plush hotels away from the village. You would never see them at other events.

That is not the case this year. Plus,the pride the team is showing has been refreshing. Led by Kobe Bryant,who has had his public relations problems in the past,Team USA dubbed themselves the "Redeem Team" and they have done just that,even if they don't win the gold.
