The Family (2021)
Through five episodes we travel through more than 30 years of success (1984-2019). From the formation of the group in their teenage years to their farewell. The whole family has its generational change. Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Rudy Fernández, Sergio Llull, Víctor Claver and the Hernangómez family will tell the story of their evolution until they finally take over the baton from The Family.
Seasons & Episode
Pau Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro, Felipe Reyes, José Manuel Calderón and Raül López met in a talent detection programme set up by the FEB to save Spanish basketball. They dreamed of the NBA and defeated the United States. As children they learned to compete, now they know how to win; but their real strength is to be a Family.
The Golden Juniors have grown up and are facing the great challenge: to become world champions. The World Cup in Japan is the great showcase and there they prove that they are not only a team, but also a group of friends. It is a magical period in which they starred in the best final in the history of the Olympic Games against the United States.
Spain have never been European champions. The team faces serious difficulties, and shows that unity and commitment are above all else. The US team, lined up, greets Pau Gasol after the London 2012 final. They have earned worldwide respect.
The national team suffered its worst defeat against France in the World Cup in Spain. Some people consider this generation to be finished. The 2015 European Championship gives them a chance for revenge and Pau Gasol plays the best game of his life in front of more than 20,000 French players.
The World Cup in China is the first championship without Golden Juniors in 20 years. Spain do not start as favourites, but Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Rudy Fernández, Sergio Llull, Víctor Claver and Hernangómez learned from the juniors and must prove that the Family continues.
