Man CB4 sounded so unsure. Just stay in T-dot. Also they need to fire Triano I know he's Canadian and all but I never liked him as a coach.

LONDON (EuroBasket 2011) - Great Britain have received some good news with Detroit Pistons sharpshooter Ben Gordon declaring he wants to play for the country this summer in qualifying games for EuroBasket 2011.

Gordon, a former teammate of Chicago Bulls forward and Great Britain star Luol Deng, will help the Brits when they go up against Hungary, Ukraine and FYR of Macedonia in Division A, Group B.

"I am delighted to have committed myself to GB for this summer and beyond,” the London-born Gordon said in a statement by British Basketball.

“I have heard a lot from Luol about the team and where we are going, so I am excited about the prospect of pulling on the GB vest.

“I have been in discussion with British Basketball for a while now, but various things have stopped me being able to fully commit.

“However, I am now settled with the Pistons and the time is right."
Gordon, who spent his first five NBA seasons with Chicago, is a career 40.4% shooter from long range but in his first season in Detroit, he buried just 32.1% of his attempts from behind the arc.

The 27-year-old’s 13.8 scoring average was also less than his career 17.9 points per game.

Great Britain have enjoyed a dramatic change in fortune the past several years in basketball following the awarding of the Olympic Games to London.

Unlike ever before, there has been a sense of urgency to put a competitive basketball team on the floor with the hope of convincing FIBA they will have a competitive side and deserve to take up the spot normally reserved for host nations at the Olympics in 2012.
