Ben Gordon playing for Great Britain as well isn`t he, as does Loul Deng.

Kyrie will see if he makes their roster we will be the second option no doubt.

All you need is citizenship and your fine. Half our Olympic athletes in track and field and wrestling, weightlifting are in the same boat. 2nd/3rd ranked in there own countires so they come here.

Kyrie Irving is a dual citizen: Australian and American.

"Kyrie made the training squad for team USA didn't he?"

Yes.

"Is he paying any tax to Australia?"

He does not reside in Australia, so I'd imagine not. E.g. after France recently raised their marginal tax rate for the very wealthy (up to something like 80% from memory), many of these still-French citizens sought dual citizenship in a neighboring country, changed their country of residence and thus avoided paying France's tax rate.

"If he has a passport then anything beyond that is semantics"

Mystery unraveled.

Just wanted to bring it up for discussion Peter John.
If he holds duel citizenship should only half of his earnings be counted? ;-)

Define an "Australian" first.

IMO Irving is American, although born here he wasn't raised here.

People who are born in another country but raised in Australia are IMO Australian.

By "raised in Aus" i mean spent atleast half of their childhood/teenage years in Australia.

Baynes born in NZ but raised in Australia, so is Australian.

Baynes was born in NZ and is Australian just like Kyrie is an American.

Under the guidance of former Head Coach Jan Stirling the Australian women's basketball team won Gold Medals at the 2006 FIBA World Championship and 2006 Commonwealth Games and achieved two Olympic Silver Medals.

Her replacement will lead the team through the 2010 FIBA World Championship for women, in the Czech Republic, and the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Any doubt as to who it will be?
