Last week, we brought you the top plays from the USA squad that won basketball gold in London a year ago. Unfortunately, we failed to include a similar reel — also from amazing YouTuber Kietasss — recognizing the Redeem Team that won gold in Beijing in 2008.
As someone who has watched every Team USA game since at least the 2006 World Championships (yep, that includes every painful minute of the loss to Greece — the lone blemish on Coach K’s international record), there was nothing more satisfying than seeing the gold medal returned to its rightful place.
