Host Libaan Osman is joined by freelance sports writer Oren Weisfeld (recovering from a cold) to go through his new book "The Golden Generation: How Canada Became a Basketball Powerhouse." We chat about how racism played a role in the national team’s early struggles, why certain stars didn't play for the national team and where the Canadian basketball landscape stands now.

In the second half, they select their dream 2028 L.A. Olympics roster for the Canadian senior men's team.
