Only James Paul is an active player! The 08 Dream Team was selected for the Hall of Fame, except Kobe.

The 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame was officially held. Anthony, Howard, referee Danny Crawford, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, Heat owner Mickey Allison and the 2008 US Olympic men's basketball team were successfully selected.

The 2008 US Olympic men's basketball team is also known as the Dream Team and the Redemption Team. The team has a large number of superstars, almost gathering the top players in the NBA at that time, and successfully won the Olympic gold medal. In addition to the dead Kobe, 11 players from the 08 Dream Team also gathered together again, and all of them attended the Hall of Fame Awards ceremony. The 12 players of the

08 Dream Team are Kobe, James, Anthony, Wade, Howard, Kidd, Paul, Prince, Reed, Bosh, Deron and Boozer. It is worth mentioning that Anthony and Howard are not only members of the 08 Dream Team, but also inducted into the Hall of Fame as individual players, so they were actually selected twice.

In addition, James and Paul are also the only two players of the 08 Dream Team that have not yet retired, so they are also the only two Dream Team players who participated in the Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony as active players. Generally speaking, players are only eligible for the Hall of Fame after retirement, but it is also very rare that James and Paul can be inducted into the Hall of Fame before they retire.

This is mainly because James and Paul's career standby time is too long. They have played for 22 years and 20 years respectively, and will continue to compete next season. It has been 17 years since 2008, and few active players entered the NBA in 2008. Wade, Anthony, and Bosh, who are in the Platinum generation as James, have retired. Howard, who entered the NBA one year later than James, has even left the NBA for several years, so he has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

In addition to James and Paul who have not yet retired, as well as Anthony and Howard who were inducted into the Hall of Fame at the same time, the 08 Dream Team has several players who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame before, including Kobe, Wade, Kidd, and Bosh, so they are also inducted into the Hall of Fame again.

It is worth mentioning that as the captain of the 08 Dream Team, Kidd played in a total of 46 games for the US men's basketball team, with a record of 46 wins and 0 losses, and he has never lost a single game. Kobe also remained unbeaten in his career as a men's basketball team, with a total record of 36 wins and 0 losses, including 16 wins and 0 losses in the Olympics, 10 wins and 0 losses in the American Championships, and 10 wins and 0 losses in the Exhibitions.
