Why 2 Black jackets?
Ahmad went heavy on the bigen…sheesh
Embrace aging. It’s a blessing.
Why is Jason Kidds jacket a different shade
Seventeen years ago, I was 19 and in college. That was the time when, for me, the greatest basketball team ever was assembled. What an honor and a pure joy it was to watch every single game — to cheer, to vibrate with the energy: Kobe, LeBron, Melo, CP3, Deron Williams… Absolute legends.
From Angola, I watched in awe. Uau, man… what a wave of nostalgia.
I'm crying 😢 right now 😭 missing Kobe Bryant 💜💛 In this enrishment to Hall of Fame. Without this guy 😔 they can't get the gold medal 🥇🏅 miss yah. Without your Camaraderie on the floor your mamba mentality they can't get this gold 🥇🪙 for sure Spain 🇪🇦 and Spanish team gonna say again get this gold 🥇🪙 to ours. So long 😊 👍🏼 your truly in our hearts 💜 yeah hearts 💝 out men 😏
co-Kaine WHAT?!
Loved this Olympic team. It was highly talented, gritty, and fun to watch
The atmosphere just looks weird without Kobe. RIP
Lebron told a lie again
There are 31 players that never lost with team USA
It was Kobe’s Team
Kobe won. Without Kobe..these foo’s would of lost.
RIP Kobe Bryant 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Kobe 8/24 we love you and miss you🙏
Kobe taught you guys how to win 🥇
Rumour has it they wanted Kobe on Redeem team and were going to leave Lebron out until Nike intervened.
RIP KOBE
They wouldnt be honoring this team without KOBE thats for damn sure
YO LET'S GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO MARV ALBERT.. ONE OF THE GREATEST PIONEER OF BROADCASTING IN THE NBA BRO
S.I.P..KOBE
KOBE WE MISS YOU
Still crying for Kobe 😭
12:19 stop it!
Now they starting to rewrite history
Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd led the team and definitely not LeBron James, Who wouldn't have been there at all,if Jason Kidd hadn't assured, that he would take care of LeBron
Klutch Media Payroll or what?
6:26 the way they smirk when coach said “they interacted with athletes from all over the world” 😂
Those Kobe v Lebron battles at practice must of been unbelievable!
Props to Lebron on reminding everyone about J-Kidd's legacy 11:14
As much as kobes mentality is praised , people forget how dominant Bron and Dwade were on that redeem team 🔥
Ahmad Rashad is 75 years old. Wow
18 ad breaks in a 14 minute video. Adam Silver, you will have your day of reckoning.
2:24 Kobe’s the GOAT!!! loved it🤌🤌🤌 #illtakemambaoveranybody
J-Kidd is a class act
Bron chill this CP3 last year
2016 Team might get in too….Lebron could get 3 jackets in all
Kobe Bryant the goat 🐐🐐🐐 bottom line
Love kobe very much, but he aint the GOAT.
Lebron and Chris Paul are still playing! 🎉😂
Who else forgot Jason Kidd and Carlos were on this team lol
Ahmad rashad inside the NBA
Anyone notice the handshake between Rashad and LeBron 🤣 boy they doing that shit in plan sight… all though bron is the GOAT. They gotta cut that shit out lol
2024 Olympic MVP in the hall
LeBron with the stupid looking fake glasses.
Why does 2008 get so much praise when 2012 was the better team?
Where them YouTube LeBron comment haters at??? We know you clowns got no life 😂
Are Melo and Dwight the first 2 players ever to be inducted twice in the same night
I’m here for the LeBron hate (N.R.)
My Goat LeBron James 🎉❤
Kobe smiling in heaven watching this RIP legend
They are HOF on 2008 Olympics Team. When they retire on NBA, they will also induct again.
"They interacted with all athletes all over the world" – CP3 laughing like, yeah we did dump lot of condoms in those camps
