This is my favorite story we've ever told on the podcast. I fell in love with it while studying it, as it took me through an eclectic landscape of emotions. When we finished recording, it actually brought Ethney to happy tears.
This week we dive into the story of the 1992 Lithuanian basketball team, as they rose from winning a gold medal in 1988 for the Soviet Union to getting to represent an independent Lithuania for the first time in almost 50 years. Oh, and how the Grateful Dead played a huge role in all of it.
