Here is the sports doc you don’t wanna miss during the long weekend

Netflix has just released a highly anticipated documentary for basketball and sports maniacs, The Redeem Team, which features this 2008 American team guided by Kobe Bryant.

The docu was produced by the duo LeBron James-Dwyane Wade, two great friends and former teammates who won two consecutive championships with the Miami Heat (2012 and 2013).

The story line is to tell the little-known story of the 2008 Beijing Games, where the late “Mamba” was the cornerstone of a monstrously talented group. The whole thing was scripted by John Weinbach, one of the co-producers of the series that had a BIG success with The Last Dancethe story of the Chicago Bulls dynasty.

The film is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long, and features archival footage of Olympic games, plus a shocking statement from King James about Kobe.

Here is the trailer of this documentary not to be missed during the long weekend!

Warriors star takes superman punch on teammate

During a practice session of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry ‘s team that won the last NBA championship, Draymond Green went for a “superman punch” on the face of his teammate Jordan Poole.

The site TMZ has shared an exclusive video where we can see the act of violence of one of the stars of this group, Draymond Green. A powerful right that earned an internal sanction for Day-Day, obviously.

Before the varlope, you can perceive that something is going on between the two teammates, exchanges of words not very sweet. Green approached Poole in order to most likely intensify his trashtalk, then the latter pushed him violently, only to receive a massive punch in the face.

Luckily for Poole, staff members rushed to stop the scene to prevent Green from finishing his fight.

The team clarified that Poole suffered no injuries in the sequence, and that the situation was resolved as a result of the brouhaha. Those are the only details that were delivered by the franchise…which admittedly needs to continue its investigation to find the individual who took this video.
