Carmelo Anthony, Coach K, Phil Jackson and More Reflect on the Assembling of the 2008 Redeem Team in Season 2 Debut of “The Dream Team Tapes”

Checking out the season premiere episode of the hit basketball podcast, “The Dream Team Tapes”. After taking fans inside the thrilling memories and personal stories of the 1992 Dream Team, host Jack McCallum returns with fellow sportswriter J.A. Adande to give listeners an up-close look at the spiritual successor to that group, the 2008 “Redeem Team.”

Featuring rare audio and interviews from the players, coaches, and personnel that were central to the team, the 10-episode season features Jack and J.A, as they give an insider’s study of the 2008 US Olympic Men’s Basketball Team and how modern day legends like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne and Dwayne Wade, came together to not only restore USA Basketball’s reputation on the global stage after their humiliating 2004 defeat, but changed a basketball culture that had grown toxic in the years following the Dream Team’s world conquest in 1992.

Episodes 1 & 2 are currently available for download and feature Jack & J.A. as they begin their fascinating exploration of the 2008 “Redeem Team” and how the team not only made the tough and fundamental move of changing a culture, but also marked an historical inflection point in NBA basketball that set the stage for everything — and every superstar player — that has come since.
