Nike and ESPN have a documentary that I can’t get enough of. After falling from grace in 2004, the USA Mens Basketball Team has spent the last 3 years rebuilding.
Starting in 2006, this 5 part documentary follows Team USA through the player selection process, the 06 loss to Greece, 2007’s America Games and current practices leading up to this summer’s Beijing Olympics.

There is no question that this is the best team since 1992. Dream Team 2 in 96 was pretty damn solid. But this isn’t Dream Team 2. This is Dream Team 2.0.
