England Basketball

England Basketball is the governing body of the sport of basketball for England. The organisation operates the English Basketball League for both Men and Women, as well as the England national team. The organisation was also involved in the establishment of the Great Britain team in December 2005, along with its compatriots in Scotland and Wales.

The organisation is not involved in the British Basketball League, the country's elite and only professional basketball league, although both parties are working hard to bring them together.

Team members include National Basketball Association players Luol Deng and Pops Mensah-Bonsu.
