Historie

Why did it take 24 years for Team Canada to return to the Olympics—and what changed everything?

The Golden Generation is the untold story of Canadian basketball, tracing the rise of NBA talent, the failures that held the program back, and the players who transformed Canada into a global basketball powerhouse.

From Olympic Breakthrough to Long Drought: • Follow Steve Nash and the 2000 Olympic team—and the decades of missed opportunities that followed.

Inside the Rise of Canadian NBA Stars: • Featuring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks, and more.

Over 100 Original Interviews: • With players, coaches, and insiders shaping Canada Basketball.

The Real Story Behind the Struggles: • Including systemic barriers, grassroots gaps, and the role of race in Canadian basketball’s development.

The Blueprint for a Basketball Nation: • How Canada built one of the deepest talent pipelines outside the U.S.

Praise for The Golden Generation

“Essential reading for basketball fans … especially for fans of Canadian sports history.” — Michael Grange

“Oren Weisfeld has written an important book … capturing the highs and lows of Canadian basketball.” — Ryan Wolstat

“Few people follow Canadian basketball closer.… This book is a good companion to keep at hand as Canada’s Golden Generation looks to achieve its promise at the 2028 Olympics.” — Cleve Dheensaw
