With the Olympics frenzy in full motion, it´s time to add to that frenzy with additions of my own.
The Ultimate Olympics Maps collection, for you to check out who are the historic winners of all sports in the Olympics. Sport by Sport.
And since I am going in alphabetical order, now it´s time for Basketball!
ULTIMATE OLYMPICS MAP: COMPLETE LIST OF #OLYMPICS medals WINNERS FOR basketball HISTORY
And this one is very dear to my heart, since I am not only a huge basketball fan, but also Argentinian, and therefore a big rabid fan of the “Golden Generation” led by Ginobili, Scola, Delfino, Nocioni and the rest of that superb team that broguth back the gold medal in a historic Athens Olympic run in 2004. Only Olympic team champion alongside United States of America (among countries that are still represented as such, after the secessions in the USSR -3 in women´s basketball 2 in men´s – and Yugoslavia).
Now, to the map. United States of America leads the ranking with a total of 24 medals.
