1972 Men’s Basketball Final
By the 1972 Games, the USA Men’s Basketball team had won the previous seven Olympic titles, and were favored to win again. With three seconds left on the clock, the Americans came back from being down by one point to a one point lead, and were certain they were going to win against the Soviet Union. Officials, however, for reasons still disputed, gave the Soviet Union another chance to play, and they went on to win 51-50. The Americans refused their silver medal, and still dispute the result.
