Aussie basketball legend Andrew Gaze explained why he broke down in tears during Channel 7’s live Olympics coverage.
Gaze got emotional as the Boomers secured a bronze medal win over Slovenia.
He told Ben Fordham it was a big moment.
“The old man and mum and what they contributed to, not just me but the entire sport, was a significant part of why I started to lose control of the emotions.
“It’s something that was a dream that started out many many years ago and to see it finally come to fruition was incredibly exciting.”
