This series declares all pressures from USBMNT had after losing to World Cup and they decided to starstudded and claim this Olympic title to show the world they owns basketball at all cost.
And this was a great inspiration to younger generation players to compete at main stage level like this to show the world no matter where they come from.
Stephen Curry Kevin Durant LeBron James are the greatest basketball players in NBA who organized this US TEAM and and they were the best athletes who were on this team and they had to take over during this olympic run.
They finished at strongest level of undefeated run (4-0) in their exhibition opener games and (6-0) through the olympic tournament and finals.
We will never see a talented basketball team like this. God Bless America!

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.
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.

Kevin Durant is blatantly stupid.
"So they are saying we need to bring our A team to win, so do they". Dude, like wtf hahah. Like other countries have a pool of 200 players they could bring to compete with nba players. Nevertheless, good documentary and Serbia was much more of a challenge for USA then France.
The world has caught up with the American basketball team, and the results show it. They can no longer win by 30-point margins against European teams; the best basketball players in the world are currently Europeans and SGA. It will get even more interesting when Steph, KD, and LeBron retire, and in Los Angeles, it will be these players who need to succeed them.
Wemby and France will be even better, Jokic and Serbia(with few players like Topic and Jovic).

Title: Selective Storytelling - Ignoring the Biggest Controversy
Review:
Netflix had the opportunity to create a groundbreaking documentary about the greatest basketball tournament in history. They had unprecedented access to players, locker rooms, and behind-the-scenes moments, yet they failed to tell the full story.
The series does a great job highlighting controversial officiating when Canada was robbed against France. The main referee of that game? Ademir Zurapovic from Bosnia and Herzegovina. But somehow, when the same referee was at the center of the even bigger scandal in the Serbia-USA semifinal, the documentary goes completely silent.
For everyone outside the USA (and countries that dislike Serbia), the main takeaway from that game was the biased officiating by referees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Panama. Yet, this series makes no mention of it. In 10 years, anyone watching will think Serbia vs. USA was a fair battle, when in reality, it was heavily influenced by questionable calls.
Netflix had all the tools to make a great series, but by ignoring the truth, they turned it into just another sanitized sports documentary.
