"The Miracle on Ice: The Story of the 1980 USA Olympic Basketball Team"

On February 22, 1980, a game unlike any other in the history of basketball was played. It was the Olympic semifinals, and the USA was up against the heavily-favored Soviet Union. The Soviets had won the gold medal in the last four Olympics and were expected to do the same in Lake Placid. However, the underdog USA team was determined to prove everyone wrong. The game was close throughout, but with just seconds left on the clock, the Soviets scored a basket to take the lead 50-49. With only five seconds remaining, the USA took their final timeout. The players huddled together and Coach Herb Brooks gave his now famous speech: You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. The game resumed, and within seconds, the USA's Mike Eruzione scored the game-winning goal. The arena erupted into cheers as the USA team celebrated their miraculous victory. It was a moment that would go down in sports history as The Miracle on Ice.
