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.
