LeBron James, Dwyane Wade to help produce Netflix documentary on 2008 Olympic basketball team

A documentary highlighting the 2008 United States men's Olympic basketball team is set to hit Netflix later this fall, according to Deadline. The film, called "The Redeem Team," will tell the story of the U.S.'s return to international basketball glory in the Beijing Olympics after floundering to a third-place finish four years earlier. Netflix partnered with the International Olympic Committee and LeBron James' media company, Uninterrupted.

It will be directed by Jon Weinbach, one of the producers of "The Last Dance" documentary about the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. "The Redeem Team" names James, Dwyane Wade and Maverick Carter among its executive producers.
