Which country beat the United States in the infamous, highly controversial, and thoroughly bizarre 1972 Olympic men's basketball final?
Answer The Soviet Union
In a word, the last seconds of the 1972 Olympic men's basketball final were bonkers — and well worth a look on YouTube. Time ran out, time was added by someone with zero authority to add time, the officials screwed up, and there was even a "golden pass." Needless to say, the United States team protested the results and, after losing its appeal, refused its silver medals.
