It’s a documentary about the players and coaches who worked to build the US Olympic mens basketball team for 2008 games in China. It was really good, so interesting and full of b-ball, of course. Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and “Coach K” provide great commentary. V bittersweet seeing Kobe and his family together at the win.

of their training in Vegas and were staying at the Wynn. We happened to be there and didn't even know that was happening until we were outside a restaurant and saw Coach K, Jim Boeheim and other coaches we recognized eating dinner. I was such a fan of Coach K. Then we were walking around the casino and saw Chris Bosh, Carmelo, and Kobe walked right by us. It was pretty exciting. At night they would all be out in the casinos so we saw them a few times.

the documentary. Players were out till dawn, coming in to find Kobe headed out to practice. He was so serious, had such a work ethic. Eventually they all gave up partying and joined him in team-building early morning practice. And the rest is history of course. Spoiler alert lol.
