These episodes recount the adventurous early years of journeys across the ocean, when the first players, who had competed for prestigious U.S. college teams in front of thousands of spectators, began arriving in Iceland. They found themselves in the dark winters of a tiny community, continuing to chase their dream of making basketball their profession.

Their influence extends into modern times, where Americans frequently play key roles on championship teams in both men’s and women’s leagues.
