David Eades speaks to USA Olympic basketball player Jason Kidd about whether the team can recapture past glories after a bronze medal at the Athens Games in 2004.

A series of Extra Time Olympic specials.

David Eades speaks to USA Olympic basketball player Jason Kidd. The American men's basketball team was once so dominant it was known as the Dream Team. However a bronze medal at the Athens Games in 2004 and consecutive failures at the last two world championships means the squad for Beijing is being dubbed the Redeem Team. 

At 35, Jason Kidd is the veteran of the squad and the only member to have won Olympic gold, at Sydney eight years ago. Can an American team blessed with the best of its NBA talent recapture past glories or has the world finally caught up to the United States in the game it invented?
