This was a very enjoyable docuseries that followed four great teams during their time in the Paris Olympics. I really liked seeing more about other countries besides just the USA. To get to know the players and coaches for the other national teams was a great insight to the personalities of lesser known players. Seeing interviews with guys like Steve Nash and Tony Parker was a great way to contextualize basketball history on this Olympic stage.
I would have liked a little more insight to the group play of the teams. It would have been great to see more about Canada going 3-0. Since these episodes all varied in length, it definitely could have been added into the earlier episodes. But there was plenty of other great material included.
There was a great episode that got into the history of Serbia and the breaking up of Yugoslavia as well. I learned a lot that I never knew before, and got unique insight through the lens of sport and the Olympics.
The final episode really delivers, too. I love how much it allowed Steph the glory for his amazing moment in the gold medal game. A historic and close to an unforgettable game.
And, finally, shout out to KD. That man lives and breathes basketball, and seeing that level of passion for not only the sport but the camaraderie it brings is inspiring.
