2004 Men's Olympic Basketball Team
Manage episode 433004889 series 2823501
Hello Old Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.
Prior to 2004, the U.S. Olympic Basketball Team had won three straight gold medals, and not even lost a game since professionals were first allowed to play in 1992. That all changed as the Larry Brown-coached team in '04 managed only a bronze medal, and lost three games. Tune in to hear the story of how this team underperformed despite the presence of future Hall of Famers such as Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Lebron James, and Dwyane Wade.
The book "American Hoops" by Carson Cunningham was particularly helpful in putting together this episodes as were various oral histories from Bleacher Report, GQ, NBC Sports, and ESPN, all of which can be easily googled!
