Doug Collins gives Team USA unique perspective on Olympic hoops

The former Bulls head coach told the group about his experience being a part of the controversial ending of the 1972 Olympic Final against the Soviet Union.

People often don't appreciate the significance of what they are doing because, well, they are doing it and it is happening now. You know, just part of another day.

Because next year will be the 50th anniversary of the most controversial closing moments in Olympic basketball history and Doug Collins relives it regularly.
