How the Boomers made us believe again
It's fair to say that the Boomers’ loss to Serbia on Saturday was the low point of an otherwise incredible Olympic campaign for the boys in green and gold.
The talent is at an all-time high, boasting four NBA champions and five NBA players overall. Despite the loss on Saturday, the level of play has been at a similarly elite level.
However this squad wasn’t given the respect it has earned now. A declaration to the world that the Boomers expected to win the gold medal in the Olympics, was not taken as a serious possibility by the basketball world at large, prior to the commencement of the Olympics.
How the Boomers made us believe again
I thought before the Olympics, a top 4 effort would be amazing. A top 8 finish a pass mark. Win bronze and they have done something that no other Aussie men's senior team has done before. Win a medal.
