20 Years Later - Catching up with the 1996 USA Basketball Women's National Team

In 1996 in Atlanta, 12 players, led by head coach Tara VanDerveer, established the blueprint for how to build a golden dynasty: Checking egos at the door, carrying one another, the team laid the foundation that led to 41 consecutive international victories, including five straight gold medals. ‪#‎USABWNT‬

not really 41 consecutive losses... I believe they lost twice to Brazil in the 1997 America Cup, then yeah didn't lose again for a while
