In addition to the excellent 30 For 30 “Survive And Advance” about the 83 championship team, ESPN has also recently released a 13 minute short about the 1972 Olympic basketball team called “Silver Reunion”. NC State’s own Tommy Burleson was a member of that team that lost the gold medal game to the Soviet Union in controversial fashion (ACC refs have nothing on the officiating at the end of this game). In the video the members of the team reunite, discuss the game and take a unanimous vote if they should finally accept their silver medals after all these years.
Even without the State connection with Tommy Burleson, if you’re a basketball fan and appreciate the history of the game the video is definitely worth your time.
