EuroBasket

Cheers.
My fave GB team.
Looking forward to it

The most underappreciated GB team in my opinion.

4th place in EuroBasket is no joke, but I don't remember hearing it in the news.
If the Lionesses, Red Roses or Vitality Roses are playing in a tournament the BBC will make sure we all know about it. GB Women however..

Connor I have always loved sport, specifically team sports. As a child I played football and basketball, moving onto rugby which I played as long as I could. I have 2 daughters. One plays rugby in the team that I coach. The other plays netball. They also do dancing.

I have become interested in women's elite sport, I think partly though the BBC and Sky Sports promoting it but also because I have daughters not sons. But I have noticed that basketball has been forgotten. Basketball is the second biggest sport in the world and the second biggest sport in Europe, and our ladies came fourth. That is a bigger achievement than a bronze medal at the netball world cup (out of the only 3 countries in the world with an elite netball league we came third, at home. That's like last).

In Britain basketball is a forgotten sport. And there is also sexism against women's basketball. There are YouTube videos and even channels that basically attack the WNBA. There is a group of people that hate women's basketball to the extent that they make videos about how awful the WNBA is. And loads of people watch them and leave sexist comments. A community of people who hate women's basketball. I like the WNBA.

And so the snide remarks against a new poster begin. Didn’t think it would be long before you started the belittling of someone who has clearly done their research.

You are the reason many people don’t bother to post on here. You already know that though, don’t you?

Dave do you honestly hand on heart say you have not belittled anyone?
I can think of at least 6 people (including me) in my short tenure on here.
You’re perceived as a toxic bitter little man.
I have met you and you seemed an ok guy- maybe lockdown has been hard, maybe it’s just the internet where people all become grotesque characatures of our real selves?
Why not be kind, be nice to people.
It’s British Basketball- it’s not important -it should be fun, be banter not bile, bitterness and hate

Dave- I do t have issues with you per se - I just don’t like bullies even internet basketball kits or bullies.
I’ve only had a little dig at you in response to you being nasty to other people.

Happy to chat via DM if you want to 👍🏼

Wow! Good luck with that. I hope it makes you feel important. I, on the other hand, have better things to do with my time than to spend hours engaging with an internet bully. I just thought I would draw attention to your regular pastime of attacking new posters and questioning their right to comment on something. It seems to have rattled your cage, but bullies don’t like being challenged, so no surprises there.

I don’t know you, I have never knowingly met you and you don’t know me. Perhaps you are a really good bloke away from the keyboard. Your online persona requires a little refining though - it’s not particularly endearing. What ever makes you happy, I guess.

Living, rather than dying, by the 3

Really good. I thought it would be closer.

Standout moment for me was maybe 6mins ti go in the third.. 3 quick fouls against the girls in maybe 1 possession zero points conceded... steal the ball and they force poland to commit the technical foul.

Thats a big win!

I would love to see Cam get some game time in the BBL. Probably unlikely I know. But surely that would be better preparation for playing for GB than playing in NBL.
