Comprising a remarkable roster of NBA stars, the Redeem team sought to reclaim the gold medal that had eluded the United States Men’s Basketball Team in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Fast forward to today, where a fervent NBA fan recently issued a challenge—identify each player in the iconic 2008 Redeem Team photo.
So fans have tried their luck in naming all the stars of the team. One fan said that they had trouble identifying Deron Williams, Tayshaun Prince, Michael Redd, and Carlos Boozer.
