Description
xThe History of Basketball at the Olympics
The Olympic Games and basketball have shared a true love affair. The Olympic tournament, having made its debut in Berlin in 1936, has established itself over the years as the major international basketball event.
Basket Rétro, the leading website for the history of the orange ball, offers you a retrospective of this sport at the Olympic Games, edition by edition, to (re)discover the exploits and legendary moments of those who made the Games.
From the first confrontation between the USA and the USSR in the midst of the Cold War (1952) to the famous three seconds of Munich (1972), including the glorious Dream Team led by the stars of the NBA (1992), basketball has always caused a sensation at the Games. Among women, the Olympic tournament has also seen great moments and illustrious champions like Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, five-time Olympic champions. A record!
Our French teams are not to be outdone, with a few missed opportunities, but also some (very) high-level performances, rewarded with several medals. This book invites you to relive these moments in "Blue" thanks to the accounts of Antoine Rigaudeau, Vincent Collet, and Edwige Lawson.
From Dino Meneghin to Oscar Schmidt, including Ouliana Semenova and Ilona Korstine, Basket Rétro offers you around twenty interviews and a complete overview of basketball at the Olympic Games, in this book of more than 340 pages with a preface by Boris Diaw, captain of the French team from 2006 to 2018. Who better than the man with two Olympic tournaments and 247 selections to present this dive into the heart of Olympic basketball?
