Dwyane Wade On Coach K’s Leadership With The 2008 Redeem Team

And some comments on what this year’s team will need from Steve Kerr as well.

The timing is a bit coincidental, but ClutchPoints.com has an article with comments from Dwyane Wade and he talks about how former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was the perfect fit for the 2008 Redeem Team:

“I always say Coach K was the perfect coach for us. He had the right temperament, he had the right toughness, he had the right pressure on the team and ultimately the coach gotta check his ego as well. It is a lot of egos that gotta be checked at the door, but also as Coach K told us but I need you to bring it too because that’s what make you who you are.”

He goes on to discuss Larry Brown’s disastrous performance with the 2004 team and what he thinks will be needed from this year’s coach, Golden State’s Steve Kerr.

Olympic competition starts on July 27th and the US will open on Sunday the 28th against Serbia followed by a rematch with South Sudan on the 31st after the sensational game the Bright Stars gave Team USA on Saturday.
