Reed talks about the Redemption Team: James becomes mature, Kobe s role is defense, James is the organization

September 11th News Recently, former NBA player Michael Reed recalled the past of the American men's basketball team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in his personal podcast.

Talking about how James' attitude on that team would be different from the Athens Olympics in 2004, Reid said: "The atmosphere is completely different, more mature than it was in 2004. By this time, he had already experienced the 2007 finals, which gave him a mature temperament. In 2004, because they lost the game and he was a part of that team, he was very eager to regain the reputation of Team USA."

"Coach K defined everyone's role. , we all accepted it happily. We are both scoring experts and players with outstanding personal abilities in our respective teams, but in order to win the game, everyone needs to play their own role. For example, Kobe's main task is defense, he completed this task well against Spain. His focus is defense, while LeBron is responsible for organizing the offense.

"Camelon (Anthony) and Dwyne Wade are excellent scorers in our team, but we all know our roles. We all play our roles and we all treat them with humility. We have to put our personal self-esteem aside because we need to win, and we know that that moment is more important than we are personally, and it is a powerful tool and weapon that we take advantage of. "Reid said.
