Trailer Synopsis Cast

In Manchester, Tennessee a secret meeting will take place. But this is no ordinary gathering; instead, a monumental decision will be made. Forty years after the USA men’s Olympic basketball team declined their Silver medals after controversially losing the Gold to the Soviet Union, the 12 players from that team will gather together, and like the jury in 12 Angry Men, they will come to a unanimous decision – accept or refuse the medals for a game many of the players believe they never lost.

I Hate Christian Laettner
I Hate Christian Laettner
He made perhaps the most dramatic shot in the history of the NCAA basketball tournament. He's the only player to start in four consecutive Final Fours, and was instrumental in Duke winning two national championships. He had looks, smarts and game. So why has Christian Laettner been disliked so intensely by so many for so long? Maybe it was the time he stomped on the chest of a downed player, or the battles he had with his teammates, or a perceived sense of entitlement. But sometimes, perception isn't reality. "I Hate Christian Laettner" will go beyond the polarizing persona to reveal the complete story behind this lightning rod of college basketball. Featuring extensive access to Laettner, previously unseen footage and perspectives from all sides, this film will be a "gloves-off" examination of the man who has been seen by many as the "Blue Devil Himself."

30 for 30 Shorts: Silver Reunion (2013) Wonderful episode in the series probably would have been better fit for a full length documentary but what we've got here is quite unique. When the men's U.S. basketball team finally lost in Olympic play it was to the Soviet Union in the 1972 games, which has gone down as one of the most controversial moments in sports history due to the American team winning the game only to have the referees put time back on the clock, which allowed the SU to win. This short runs just thirteen-minutes and it features all twelve members of the U.S. basketball team as they get together to discuss that day, watch the highlights and then vote on whether or not they should accept their silver medals, which they declined at the ceremony. This here is without question one of the best films in the shorts collection as well as the feature-length ones. It's rather remarkable getting to see all twelve men back together and still being so emotional over having the game stolen from them. As they watch the final play of the Soviet Union winning there are several tears still flowing. The documentary does a very good job at showing where these player's emotions are today and of course there's the vote to see if they should receive their silver medals. Fans of Olympic history or basketball are certainly going to enjoy this look back at one of the most controversial games in sports history.Episode: A+
