Great news. 2018 me just figured out how to pretend out the 1968 Mexico City Olympics basketball tournament for real in his church gym. 1972 me is going to be very thankful to 2018 me for this post after the Munich games this pretend September.
Group A
Oct. 13, 1968
Team USA 57, Spain 39
Team USA scoring: Spencer Haywood 9, Bill Hosket 6, Glynn Saulters 5, Charlie Scott 9, Jo-Jo White 5, Cal Fowler 5, Ken Spain 6, Mike Silliman (of Louisville Saint Xavier High!) 3, John Clawson 2, Don Dee 3, Mike Barrett 1, Jim King 3
Wow ... I knew nothing about Mike Silliman, and I had never read "Desiderata."
ReplyDeleteOutstanding NBC documentary on the Mexico City 1968 Olympics.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the Calgary 1988 games--great choice of narrator in Rob Lowe.
