Corletto to play for UK!

lol.

I could see the look on the Boomers face if they had to play the UK and Corletto and Leven walked out for the Poms.

Is Olowokandi still alive?

Have to agree with Marvin there, and didn't Dominique play for the US, same as Olajuwon and Ewing. All players that grew up in the States, and then naturalized.

Anyway, that is getting off topic. TR, you named that 5 and a couple of benchies, have you seen this team play at all?

And will Corletto even make it?

Deng and Gordan are ring ins ala Chris Kaman at Beijing

I disagree. Kaman was a ring-in, he qualified to play for Germany because he has German grandparents but has no genuine ties to Germany. But Gordon was born in England, although he grew up in America. Deng is Sudanese by birth, but moved to England at a young age when his family fled Sudan's civil war, and he has already played for England at junior level and for the national team when they qualified for promotion to Eurobasket Division A; if they had remained in Division B, they wouldn't be allowed to compete at the Olympics. Azubuike is also English-born, so all three have genuine ties to England.

I think you will find that the Men and the women from England must qualify for the olympics in London as FIBA are worried they are not good enough for olympic competition.

Went to Port Footy Club to hear Andrew Gaze as guest speaker.
What a great man he is. Many would love to have his credentials, but would be high profiling themselves
and spreading "FIG JAM", but he came across as a genuine good guy who got his career achievements by hard work and goal setting.
Great to see many past and present 'champions' there also
