Yet, this team—a perfect blend of Balkan grit, Dalmatian flair, Serbian precision, and Bosnian steel—swept through the competition. In the final, they defeated the mighty United States team (featuring future NBA stars like Ray Williams and Jacky Dorsey) with a score of 86–73. That victory marked the first time a non-American team won a global basketball title at any level. The young men celebrated, crying and singing, and a journalist asked one of them: "What next?" The answer was prophetic: "We will be world champions." The film, released in 1975, is a 50-minute documentary masterpiece by Jovan Pavlović (known for his work on The Marathon Family ). Unlike sterile sports reels, this film is a cinematic poem . It follows the "Generation of 1974" from their difficult training sessions in the snow-covered streets of Belgrade to the roaring crowds in France.

The Yugoslav team, coached by the strict disciplinarian Aca Nikolić and his assistant Mirko Novosel, was a group of teenagers no one expected to win. The United States, the Soviet Union, and Spain were the heavy favorites. bicemo prvaci sveta ceo film
