When Patty Mills led Australia’s men’s basketball team to its first Olympic medal ever in Tokyo, Andrew Gaze burst into tears during the post-game coverage of the bronze medal match.

The name Gaze is synonymous with Australian basketball, and this week the Gaze family has been honoured with a documentary about their role in lifting the sport to the position it currently holds in the country.

Australia’s men’s team heads to Paris this year as one of the favourites to secure a medal yet again, and that is largely thanks to the steps Andrew and his legendary father, Lindsay, took in establishing the sport throughout the ’80s and ’90s.

Before the Boomers rose to the podium in Tokyo, Australia’s men had fallen short in the bronze medal game on four separate occasions — three of those came during Gaze’s five Olympic campaigns.
