The Netflix documentary shows the anecdote between the two best friends, where the competition is stronger to win the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The documentary The Redeem Teamof the American team at 2008 Beijing Olympicstells a surprising anecdote that highlights the competitive mentality of Kobe Bryant.
“I’ll beat him on the first play” said Black Mamba to his colleagues before the duel with Spain by group stage in 2008 Beijing Olympics; he is referring to his soulmate, Paul Gasol. The rest of the team USED know about the relationship between the two players Los Angeles Lakers and they thought it was just a way of blocking them. Until they saw it live, the stadium fell silent. Kobe went straight to the Spaniard’s chest and made him sit down with a punch.
In the documentary you will see the testimony of LeBron JamesKobe’s colleague and documentary producer. king She recounts that he warned her: “In the first game I will hit Pau in the chest”. He also recounted what was said to him: “No, you’re crazy, he’s your partner. You wouldn’t do that.”
Kobe showed his team that when it comes to competition even friendship will not stand in the way of their success. The game ended in a 119-82 victory for the United States over Spain. But the faces were seen again in the final and again the Dream Team won the victory, by 118-107, and the gold medal.
Manu Ginobili’s reaction
The former Argentine player of Golden GenerationOlympic gold and four-time champion of NBA on the Spurs, he simply put: Kobe Bryant. This is the quintessence of competitiveness, as there is no other way to define it, and the limits it can break to achieve it. The Black Mamba I didn’t see a line in terms of ‘border´, I saw something to cross. He is always willing to go further than any other player.
