Court of Gold

Poor quality doc / reality TV.

I learnt nothing new from what I saw during the Olympics on social media, TV, etc.

The storyline is very simple and yet parts are very unbalanced.

I miss the days when documentaries were shot with a notion of good frame, good light... those days are definitely over! Not only interviews were not well shot in general, but games images were terrible. Did the guys who operated the cameras know anything about basketball?

Nothing very surprising from Netflix, as we're used to more and more poor content... I really hope they can level up the quality of these kind of programs and hire the appropriate crews to do so.

Court of Gold does not contain layered or dramatic storylines - which is fine. The profound brilliance of this series is in the fact that it just simply archives some of the greatest basketball, Olympic, and sports moments in history, like:

• The closing of the chapter Lebron, Durant, and Curry Era
• The 'Steph Curry Shot' heard around the world (Is he Top 10 All-Time, now?)
• The sport of Basketball as the potential #1 international sport in the future
• American Black Swag vs. The World
• And (obviously) the beginning of the 'Wemby Era'

As a viewer, you must watch with the understanding that the docuseries serves as a still shot in time, not as a multilayered documentary. Appreciate as a viewer, the art in which the players play the game and merely experience an actual historical paradigm shift in basketball, Olympic, and sports history.

To the nostalgic critics and disappointment haters... it is a Netflix sports documentary. Chill out!

This documentary is solely amazing for watching just because of Serbia, Serbian Team and Coach. They are so amazing, smart, cute, charismatic, talented and down to earth. They are really one true gold! If Olympics were fair, and if whole draw wasn't rigged just so that host country of France can make it to the final, and if all referees didn't work again Serbian team just so USA can make it to another gold, everything would be different. Serbian bronze is shinning brighter than winners gold. Good luck boys, thank you for making this documentary watchable. It was pleasure of all of us in the world to watch you climb on that podium as one true winner. All the best in future!

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.

This documentary is truly beautiful, capturing the essence of the Olympic spirit. Having attended the Olympics myself, I can say there's an indescribable energy and passion that only those who experience it firsthand can understand. Unfortunately, the negativity from Serbian fans is overwhelming, they seem to be the sorest losers in sports, complaining everywhere, even on IMDb. Instead of appreciating great basketball, they focus on excuses. Kevin Durant, on the other hand, is the epitome of humility and leadership, proving once again why he is the best player on Team USA. It's simple, there is only one gold medal winner in Olympic basketball: Team USA.
