Best part of Kobe trucking through gasol, was that kobe called what play Spain would do & told his team he was going through the screen(his laker teammate gasol)
Definitely check out some of the players on the Redeem team you haven’t reacted to yet like Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Jason Kid, Chris Bosh, and Dwight Howard. 😁👍
Kobe, Wade, Chris Bosh, and Jason Kidd are all hall of famers who played on this team and LeBron, Carmelo, Chris Paul, and Dwight Howard haven't made the hof ballot yet but once they make it on they will easily get inducted
I think part of the reason kobe wasn't initially selected was because he was such a loner. For a big portion of his career he was a pain in the ass as a teammate. Extremely aloof, critical of teammates, generally not that fun to play with. Colangelo's main focus was chemistry, and at that time kobe was DEFINITELY not someone you brought in to fix a team's chemistry. He didn't have the image we now have of him until quite a bit later in his career. In fact, in interviews with players from this team several of them had questions about the wisdom of adding kobe to the roster, and I think this experience was a part of Kobe changing for the better.
9:28 seeing you pull out references like that is so great to see. You genuinely blow every other reaction channel out of the water, nobody else cares like y'all. That's what sets you apart
That Spain team was very good. The three players they mentioned, the Gasol brothers and Ricky Rubio, have all had at least very good nba careers. Pau Gasol was rookie of the year, a 6-time all-star, and a 4-time all-nba selection. Marc Gasol was also a 3-time all-star, 2-time all-nba selection, and he won defensive player of the Year. Ricky Rubio is not as decorated, but he had a similar amount of hype coming out of Spain. He has been playing professionally in Europe since he was 16, and while never an all-star, he is currently top 75 all-time in assists, top 25 all-time for assists per game, top 100 in career steals and top 50 all-time in steals per game. Rubio is only 32 and is technically still playing although he is away from the team indefinitely for mental health reasons.
One quick note, you guys mentioned how hes not mentioning Bird. At the point of the Dream Team Bird had already had tons of back problems and was on the decline for a few years at that point. He was still a good player but I think he was chosen in part to honor him more than they thought he was going to be a key player. Magic was a few years younger and although not at his peak, he was closer to his prime than Bird, and his Lakers were just in the finals with Jordan’s Bulls. I believe if it was just about which players would make the best team at that time, there’s a great argument that Bird shouldn’t have made the roster.
Both Bird and Magic were past their prime. Bird wasn't the charismatic, vocal leader though, Magic was.... that was the comparison being made. While Magic was more physically capable at the time (due to Birds bad back) It had nothing to do with current playing ability. He simply chose a clip that also had Bird in it. Also keep in mind, Magic hadn't even played in the NBA for 9 months when the Olympics started due to his HIV.
But he didnt even mention that Bird and Magic were the team captains. He said Magic and Jordan were but Jordan turned down being a team captain so it could be Bird and Magic
Na there is nobody who would deny Bird on the dream team, the only player that was ever denied on the dream team was Isaiah Thomas only because of the drama between him and MJ and that bad back Larry Bird can still score 8 or more shots in a raw by himself against another prime NBA star's that they practice against, cause they a little shit talk shit about him not scoring, and then he do something just to show them you don't talk trash on Larry just to teach them a lesson, yeah and he cook them, they call Larry Legend for a good reason. And the dream teams captains are Magic and Bird and Jordan but it's Magic the main captain, that is where they literally both pass the torch to MJ, yeah they are great but if we see all the players, non of the three are the not the one walk with some impressive thing it was Charles Barkley aka Chuck who scored the most point for the team, it's funny 😂, but if you gonna talk about the dream team you can't left out Larry Legend he is important as 2nd leader as well, because the team need him. All the players are important to their own roll but the real leader are the coach.
Crazier fact, despite being drafted in the same year and playing in the same conference for 15 years (11 if you don't include Lebron's heat years), Lebron and Wade never played a playoff series against each other. Despite the 7 eastern conference playoff series we get each year.
Good stuff, lads. But, this is not a "Redeem Team" video. Its a Kobe Bryant video. Dwayne Wade was the MVP of that team and was the leading scorer. Unbelievable, that they didn’t even mention it. Without Wade the "Redeem Team" doesn't win. Including scoring 27 against Spain to win the gold. No respect for one of the all-time greats. Very sad. When are you boys gonna react to D Wade?
D Wade played the best on that Redeem team look up the stats his numbers are the best and he came off the bench. He brought a spark of energy off the bench with his great defense getting a bunch of steals and fast break scoring.
In my opinion the 2012 gold medal team is way better than the dream team and redeem team 😌🙈 The 2012 team was stacked with all stars and future hall of famers as well as facing and winning against national teams with stars and future hall of famers of their own.
@@moriellymoproblems7842 bro the 2012 Australian team would give them problems 😂 the 92 team would win but just goes to the show how the level of competition evolved
@@Donte180probably not a deciding factor, but a reason why alot of his fans are his fans. I think its okay to not have lebron as your favorite player. I dont like comparing like that anyways. Jordan, Lebron, and Kobe are all greats and given alot to the game, nothing wrong with leaving it there.
Y’all should really react to Manu Ginobili. The best 6th man of all time, made moves like the Eurostep Popular, and the Redeem Team doesn’t exist with Manu and him leading Argentina over America.
In conception, no teams compare to Dream Teams 1 & 2. In terms of a cohesive, actual team with real playing time together and facing real, serious, confident competition... I think ya gotta go Redeemers as the greatest ever assembled... (This from someone who worshipped the 92 team and who saw the 96 squad up close all the time when I worked at the Atlanta games)
Please do 2 more kobe videos. They are Maxamillion's "kobe bryant's greatest highlight reel" and "top 100 highights/plays of kobe bryants career". The 2 best basketball highlight videos ive ever watched alongside kobe and mj's career mixtapes.
And now none of the “All-Stars” want to play for the USA. just look at the last FIBA tournament got beat bad and then they all come out and say they want to play
Yeah there's a famous scene/picture of Kobe and Jordan next each other and Kobe talked about it afterwards that he was asking him for advice. Iconic image. I remember this and was so glad there was a "redeem" team. because as a country, we always pride ourselves in basketball.
That Kobe fouling Pau moment is a pivotal moment at the 2008 Olympics- the details behind it is fascinating that I can't wait for you guys to see in the Netflix doc
USA btw only got the 4th place in the very recent FIBA WORLD CUP, just 1 week ago ... yep! they e lost again, theyve sent young NBA players, another NBA SCHEME😂😂 a pattern of US BASKETBALL, NEXT FIBA WORLD CUP THEYLL ASSEMBLE A TEAM WITH LEBRON AS THE LEADER ... MJ, KOBE then LEBRON😂😂😂
Did you do the ACTUAL Dream Team documentary the video you watched cut up? It's on RUclips and so much more informative and shows the personalities of the individual players and how the came together...
hey guys great vid as always, I will mention these two Documentaries MAGIC & BIRD A Courtship of Rivals. Also a College Football Documentary Against The Tide these two are a once a year watch for me.
yeah not only was Pau a teammate to Kobe, they basically became brothers. Kobe owes the last part of his careers success to Pau. The fact he was willing to power through his brother like that showed how much he cared about winning at all costs. when he stepped on the court he had no friends.
Most Americans feel like we must always be the best at basketball. And it seems we have become a victim of our own success. International teams have enough familiarity with us and have a number of NBA stars and are no long intimidated by us. In addition, many of the best American NBA players simply don't relish the opportunity to play for team USA. It is a huge commitment, and no longer just a, find any willing NBA players, show up and win! The other issue is the style of the international game vs the NBA. Europeans play the international style and rules which differ in some key ways from the NBA. And quite frankly, that style is proving to be superior than the NBA's style of play. Wouldn't be surprised if you start to see more foreign coaches headed to the NBA. Sometimes a fresh perspective is needed. After all didn't we have to bring in foreign coaches to teach us how to play soccer? Yeah, and we still suck, just not as much. USA basketball is in a bad place right now. We have fallen, but we will get up!
Ah wow, thanks Rich, interesting stuff! Haven’t properly watched international bball yet but got it on my list to check out as would love to see the differences. Thanks for the comment 🙏
A bad place? 2004 was the most recent time USA men's team didn't win gold lol. They've been #1 in every olympics since. In international play, the US has only ever cared about getting gold in the olympics, they've never cared about these FIBA tournaments. I agree that the level of international play is steadily rising, which is a great thing for basketball and the US. But no other country comes close to US depth of talent still. Like Serbia might have Jokic who's the best player on the planet, but he alone isn't beating a team of KD, Steph, Bron, Tatum, Bam, Booker etc.
The world has gotten better and women's USA basketball and Soccer teams is starting to run into the same situation. We're just waiting for the men's Soccer team to be the opposite and catchup to the world.
This is another reason why Lebronze's claim to be the GOAT is ridiculous for me, he is not even better than Kobe The difference between Pip and Jordan with Kukoc is that they did not know him and kept hearing how awesome he was from Jerry Krause. They were fired up
Thanks for this, we had been hoping to go to 1st Oct game. Unfortunately I (Damo) fell ill for the past few weeks and we used up our entire storage of videos. So instead of a day out we need to use 1st Oct to get videos recorded for the channel.
Kobe didn’t rebuild the Redeem Team. Based on what we saw in the documentary, he showed up last minute to help them win but completely isolated himself from the team. It was a mixed effort from Lebron and Kobe that created what became the Redeem Team. Kobe was the team leader by example (work ethic) but Lebron was their leader vocally and helped bridge the gap between Kobe and everyone else. Not enough people give Lebron credit for that and how much he impacted their team chemistry.
LeBron is a beta who would jump from country to country to win if he could. MJ, Magic, and Kobe would never. Anyone who doesn't understand this was born post-2K
I don't think you should be allowed to go back to your country and represent them in the Olympics. Just like people that move to the USA and than try to ruin our country like theirs. If you want to play for your country than your country ought to be good enough to play in. They all come here to make our money and live the good life than to back and play for a country that was not good enough for them or they would have stayed. The USA has won every gold medal even if they lost since most of the players no matter which country that wins all play in the NBA. If your country was so great you would have stayed there and played. I am an immigrant and I moved to USA because all the countries my family has been through sucked. If I wanted to do something for any country it would be the country that made me successful and took me out of the countries that sucked. Pisses me off the two faced crap.
@gabegood8989 I did I even got shot for my new country. Did 3 combat deployments. Get out your moms basement. I don't have time to baby you and teach you common sense. Your country so great go back to it. If my original country was good, i would have stayed there. It is all a show. If they loved their country so much and it was so great none of us immigrants would have left it and moved to America.
Larry was way past his prime but aint no way he didnt mention Bird as one of the top 3 of the dream team but mentioned Melo on the redeem team😂 Sounds salty to me

It appeared to me at the time that the dream team jellied right away, 7 of the 12 players from the dream team are hall of famer’s.
Best part of Kobe trucking through gasol, was that kobe called what play Spain would do & told his team he was going through the screen(his laker teammate gasol)
💯
You watched the same RUclips short as everyone else
@@selfishstockton6123 I didn’t realize you can fit a 90 minute documentary into a RUclips short. Interesting
@@selfishstockton6123 So we all watched it who tf cares. Hes just stating it for the fellas incase they havent seen it.
Dream team made the game international... We don't get Pau gasol.. Dirk... Ganis... Luka ect without the dream team
check out Kobe's 81 point game.
There’s a redeem team documentary if you are interested, worth a watch in my opinion.
Hey. Had heard about the Netflix Doc. Not sure if it’s something we can get onto YT, but we’ll take a look. Appreciate the comment 🙏
Definitely check out some of the players on the Redeem team you haven’t reacted to yet like Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Jason Kid, Chris Bosh, and Dwight Howard.
😁👍
dont forget deron williams!
Melo is my favorite player of all time
Ah yes prime Deron Williams was pretty good too
Kobe, Wade, Chris Bosh, and Jason Kidd are all hall of famers who played on this team and LeBron, Carmelo, Chris Paul, and Dwight Howard haven't made the hof ballot yet but once they make it on they will easily get inducted
11 of the 12 dream team players are in the hall of fame best team ever
That’s just incredible! Thanks David, appreciate the info
Chris Bosh: 9 Points 8 Reb
LeBron James: 18 Points 6 Reb 3 Ast 1 Stl 3 Blk
Kobe Bryant: 13 Points 2 Reb 3 Ast 2 Stl
Dwyane Wade: 19 Points 2 Ast 2 Stl (MVP)
Facts💯
Preach, my friend. Disrespecting D Wade like that. That creator should be ashamed of himself.
