What Happened to the London 2012 Olympic Basketball Legacy?

As the Rio 2016 Olympics are upon us, we ask the question: what has happened to the London 2012 Olympic basketball legacy?

Four years down the line, national teams are performing at a lower level than prior to 2012, British Basketball are on a shoestring budget that will run out in March 2017, and there remains no visible legacy from the games that has made any type of impact on basketball across the country.

We ran a poll on Twitter on Friday and 85% of you believe there is no legacy for basketball from the London 2012 Olympic games, so we put together the above video.


The feedback has been overwhelming so far, with the video amassing 15,000 views in its first 5 hours of being online, so we are looking into making a feature length documentary about the (non-existent) Olympic basketball legacy.
