Slam Dunk: The True Story of Basketball’s First Olympic Gold Medal Team

By: Beth Fortenberry

You’ve got to understand that I receive over 60 scripts a year not to mention books and articles all about basketball. I’ve read almost every basketball story that’s ever been brought to Hollywood’s attention. That’s what I get for producing Hoosiers, the movie that many consider to be the best basketball movie ever made. Most often, when I start reading, I don’t even get past the first page. When SLAM DUNK – The True Story of Basketball’s First Olympic Gold Medal Team came my way, I immediately knew this was something very special. I read it from beginning to end in one sitting. The content, the story, the unknown historical facts, the tragedies, the writing, the interesting characters, the very special young athletes, the unbelievable odds, the writer’s ability to combine the story from 1891 through WW1, the Dust Bowl to the 1936 Hitler Olympics makes this an epic story. I knew this script was very special and I’m lucky to be involved. From the players to the writer, this is the real deal.

Slam Dunk

The True Story of Basketball's First Olympic Gold Medal Team

By: Beth Fortenberry

It's a blustery December day in Springfield Massachusetts. The year - 1891. James Naismith, age 29 is a rare combination of violent rugby player and Presbyterian minister. He has his dream job as an athletic coach at the Y.M.C.A. but his boss threatens to fire him if he doesn't come up with a game to be played between the football and baseball seasons. Determined not to fail, he prays in earnest and through logic and elimination invents "a New Game" - Basketball. A few days later he sees a pretty Southern lady who just happened to invent the first football helmet and they fall in love. He keeps his job and gets the girl all in the same week! They marry and have children. In 1905, the family moves to Lawrence, Kansas so Naismith can head the Kansas University Athletic Department. There he meets Phog Allen, a superb basketball coach with a foghorn voice. Phog starts a campaign to put basketball into the Olympics. As Naismith mentors many students (among them African- American John McLendon, who later becomes the Father of Basketball Integration), he wonders who would even want to go to the Olympics. Now, it's the Depression. 1932 to be exact, and Joe Fortenberry at 21 years old, wants to play in the Olympics more than anything. Phog Allen protege, Gene Johnson, discovers Joe and hires him to play for the Globe Refiners with the goal of going to the Hitler Olympics in 1936. In preparation, at a Madison Square Garden game in 1936, the world sees the fast break, the zone press and for the first time Joe Fortenberry unveils his own invention - the Slam Dunk! The Refiners join with the Hollywood Universals and they become the first U.S.A. Olympic basketball team. After much controversy and many obstacles, they arrive in Berlin to win. However, the rules are changed, the ball is a balloon beach ball and the game is going to be played outdoors in rainy weather! Their uniforms are stolen and other countries want to eliminate all players over 6'2". Still America perseveres. In the thrilling last game, it's pouring rain and even though the court is a mudpit, America wins 19-8 with Joe as the high scorer. The next day is sunny and beautiful for the awards ceremony. Naismith presents the first Olympic Gold Medal for Basketball to the U.S.A. team. "The happiest day of my life". Indeed, James Naismith made "the world a little better than he found it".
