Joe Ingles has spent most of his life playing basketball and striving for greatness.
Whether it was the NBA or NBL (Australia’s professional basketball league), Ingles wanted to conquer them both by becoming a champion.
But there was one other accolade he always had his eye on, one medal he always wanted for himself and his country.
This past summer, Ingles and Australia achieved that goal when the Boomers took down Luka Doncic and Slovenia 107-93 in the bronze medal game – earning the country’s first medal at the Olympic Games.
“It feels a lot different to the last 11 years of trying to win an Olympic medal,” Ingles said.
