The 2008 Olympics U.S. Men's Basketball Team represented the United States of America at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. They qualified for the Olympics by winning the FIBA American Championships 2007 held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The team was nicknamed the "Redeem Team", a play on an alternative name for the legendary 1992 squad that was called the "Dream Team", and a reference to the fact that the United States came away with a disappointing Bronze Medal during the 2004 Summer Olympics at Athens, Greece. Kobe Bryant was named the team captain and Mike Krzyzewski was named the head coach of the 2008 Olympics U.S. Men's Basketball Team. LeBron James, often named the vocal leader of the team, stated in a feature with TIME magazine: "It's the gold, or it's failure." An ESPN program, Road to Redemption, followed the team's preparations.
The United States, with eleven NBA All-Stars, a Hall of Fame coach, and an NBA MVP, ultimately accomplished their goal. They defeated Spain 118-107 to accomplish their expectation of winning the tournament.

LeBron Raymone James (/ləˈbrɒn/; born December 30, 1984) is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He has started at the small forward and power forward positions. James has won two NBA championships (2012, 2013), four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), two NBA Finals MVP Awards (2012, 2013), two Olympic gold medals (2008, 2012), an NBA scoring title (2008), and the NBA Rookie of the Year Award (2004). He has also been selected to 12 NBA All-Star teams, 11 All-NBA teams, and six All-Defensive teams, and is the Cavaliers' all-time leading scorer.
James played high school basketball at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, where he was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar. After graduating, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft by the Cavaliers. James led Cleveland to the franchise's first Finals appearance in 2007, losing to the San Antonio Spurs. In 2010, he left the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in a highly publicized ESPN special titled The Decision. James played four seasons for the Heat, reaching the Finals all four years and winning back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013. In 2013, he led Miami on a 27-game winning streak, the third longest in league history. Following his final season with the Heat, James opted out of his contract and re-joined the Cavaliers. Behind his leadership, Cleveland advanced to the Finals before losing to the Golden State Warriors.

There's a spark that ignites the internal fire
It makes us strive for the best we can be and higher
Sometimes we stumble and we're back at the start
But it won't matter 'cause we're used to it hard
That's why it won't get us down, it's just the way that we are
It's not just the way that it works out sometimes
'Cause that we have was bought with our last dimes
Wherever we go through the rain and snow
From the sand and the sun to whichever way the wind blows
Each of our hearts make up equal parts
And they're bound by a cause that can't be held to man's laws
Facing the odds as human lighting rods
We grow strong from our pain though we've gone a little insane
Together we're one and as one we'll fall
However dark it seems, don't underestimate the team
Road life brings each of us close together
We don't sleep 'cause we know that it's now or never
It may be tough to ride and sleep in a van
Suspicuous looks and hiding out from the man
Can't tell us we're not a movement we just play in a band
We know what we want and we want it right now
