L'Or à bout de bras

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!

Great documentary.

Steph Curry's performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics, captured in this great documentary "Court of Gold," was flawless. Curry was vital in Team USA's triumph, earning his first Olympic gold medal. His reaction to winning the gold medal was one of happiness and relief, since it was one of the few prizes missing from his impressive record.

Curry was the occasion! IT is described as "dream come true" and emphasized the significance of achieving this milestone. I love that this documentary includes poignant moments from other players, like Kevin Durant, who discussed the team's journey and camaraderie. Less Lebron james is also great. I love steve kerrs message also.

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.

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.

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!
