I usually love sports documentaries and this is one of them. It tells the story about the Team USA mens basketball team and their journey to redemption after a poor showing in the 2004 Olympics. It details the mindset Team USA management had, in getting players to commit to playing at the Olympics 3 years out and play in the various tournaments needed to qualify for the Olympics. Many great basketball players were on this team such as Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant and it mainly focuses on them and their mindset going into this. It plays almost like an underdog story but they weren't given all the talent they had. There was also a focus on previous Team USA basketball teams, particularly the one in 1972 who was robbed of a Gold Medal. Film also focuses on the whole Olympic experience these players had. If you like basketball, you'll most likely enjoy this.
