For basketball fans, the 1972 Olympics included one of the most controversial games of all time. To make matters worse...it happened in the GOLD MEDAL game!
The USA men's basketball team was going up against the Soviet Union. The controversy started to happen near the end of the game, with less than one minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Looking back at this game, a lot of people believed that the game was rigged in favor of the Soviets. The Cold War was going on at the time, and the political relations between the USA and Soviet Union were very uneasy. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this video, where I recap the series of controversial calls at the end of the game, and give my own thoughts on it!
