- The Australian Boomers men's basketball team is one of the most well-known Aussie sporting teams to have competed on the international stage. With a rich history dotted with Olympic highs and lows, this documentary follows the Boomers' story from humble beginnings at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games right through until the present, and their quest for an elusive Olympic Games medal.
Came here after we won the bronze at tokyo 2021 all these players would be so proud today
As Gaze said....their DNA is all over it.
So proud of the boomers effort,every single player played their role and I feel they will go gold or silver next time round.
Well done pioneers! I’m sure you are all very proud of the effort of your fellow Australians. We are beyond proud too!
The Americans may have the gold medal, but the Boomers have stole the show!
To have Paddy Mills have the honour of being the flag bearer was amazing and he didn’t let anyone down! He’s an inspiration for young athletes, and a perfect ambassador for the indigenous community.
Thank you!
Well tonight we did it! 😊 Tokyo 2021 Boomers bronze.
This is great! You could've made it 2 hours long and I would have watched every second. Nice one 👍
Great video ! Love the 80’s Aussie basketball !
When Hammer didn't back down to Barkley , made every Aussie proud
Great documentary of our proud Olympic history; looking forward to the next chapters!
Nice piece. Some great memories there.
You might need to do another documentary about our Bronzed Boomers :)
Rose Gold
I've been trying to find footage of a Sydney Kings game circa 1988-89 when they played at either Homebush indoor sports centre or in Canberra against the Canons. In this particular game
Damien Keogh gets ejected and some guy comes from the crowd and head butts threo Keogh, splitting his nose open. Absolute chaos! I'd love to watch that game again one day!
Great guys, great Australians.
Please make a part 2. 2008 to 2021
If Ricky Grace had more minutes, we might have a medal already.
Nice video,distracting music but a great look back in Australian basketball history.
YES, agreed. The story was engrossing, the music consistently annoying.
Great job. Honours the Boomers well.
BRONZIES! AUSSIES! BronzeD Aussies!
Here I am 8 years later like "can we get that medal please, basketball gods?"
BoGronk LOL.
We got the medal!
@@Razzletazle I know we did. I cried. I cried! lol.

@@jarradhurley4866 I’ve cried a few times, and I don’t cry. Paddy mills mate! Holy cow. We did it mate
Really hope 2016 is our year!
Makes me proud to be an Aussie!
Up the mighty boomers

All I can say is.... Scott Fisher was garbage! Should never have worn the jersey.
Amen. He wore the jersey, then went back to the USA to live. So much for being an Aussie.
@@CStyleRecords I’m guessing you two are both supporters of NBL clubs that Fish torched at some stage and rubbed the salt into your wounds whilst doing that - he certainly loved stirring up dumb fan boys like you two ...
He is, without any doubt or controversy, one of the greatest players in the history of Australian basketball, and earned the right to be an easy selection for his adopted country towards the end of his long, highly respected and decorated career in Aust.
Thus is supported by all those with a technical understanding of elite level b/ball and anyone of any significance within the Aust. basketball community ... which is probably lost on a couple of mid-week playing fan boys like you.both ..
I’m also not sure why you would criticise a guy for moving house so he can earn a living and satisfy the needs of his wife and family... Is every Aussie that has ever moved overseas, for whatever reason, no-good in your books ? Crikey, you must hate a lot of people.
hopefully since the two years of your post you have grown up some, and know more about basketball and life in general ...
@@aussiesurfer805 Not doubting his playing ability what so ever. Why did he become an 'aussie' then, and now lives back in the USA?. DUH!.
@@hunterregiondj4904 Hey dude - I know my reply was long (I was a little drunk at the time of writing - I do freely admit), but the answers you seek are indeed presented within the very same and aforementioned reply ....
I can lead you to water, but alas I can’t make you drink. Nor can I make you comprehend a few sentences written in English, nor help you understand the complexities of living an adult life, what with its infinite “sliding door moments” and all ..
Am I disappointed Fish didn’t stay in WA? As a b/ball fan who enjoys looking back in history from time to time, of course I am. However it’s not for me, you or anyone to judge somebody else’s very personal decisions made at their own sliding door moments .. provided of course such sliding door decision making is indeed made in good faith and with good intention ....
So there ya go young fella ... a few gems there for you to ponder, perhaps in the late arvo when you friends have gone home and just before mom calls you in for dinner --
Oh no, there’s no need to tip me for these, they’re really quite basic; but still so very important - So consider them a gift from me to you , ... Ya know - just to get you started on you’re own journey of maturity and enlightenment ....
.. the best of luck to you young pup, now off you go and play with your friends - ya young scallywag .. ...
I hate nationalising any of the yanks, the boomers are tarnished
Awesome doco
