Oren Weisfeld On Canada's Golden Basketball Generation

Today Matt Robinson is joined by basketball writer Oren Weisfeld to discuss his new book "The Golden Generation: How Canada Became A Basketball Powerhouse."

We have a fascinating discussion about the history of basketball in this country, why it took so long to get top players working together in a national program, the part systemic racism played in holding Canada back, whether the arrival of the Toronto Raptors and Vince Carter is overstated in the growth of the game north of the border, what needs to happen to see things continue to grow here, just how high this current crop of Canadian stars can take Team Canada and so much more.

About the Podcast

Tall Can Audio - A Pint Of Canadian Sports Talk
A Canadian Sports & Craft Beer Podcast.
Tall Can Audio is a Canadian sports, craft beer, comedy and culture pod with a focus on the NHL and beyond. Join Matt Robinson, Rob Christy and the rest of the TCA Crew as we sample a local craft beer on each show while discussing whatever's on our minds from the world of sports, music, or anything else that's making us laugh that day. Plus tons of great guests thrown in to the mix as we go. Yes - we could be accused of occasionally going a little overboard on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators. Join us for a pint and a chat!
