Hey,

Sitting here getting ramped up for GB's final game tonight and have a nice slot of time to get this newsletter banged out!

This week's 3-pointer:

🇬🇧 Spotlight back on governance failures at EuroBasket

It's been a disastrous EuroBasket for the GB Senior Men (losing to Ukraine, Croatia, Greece, and Estonia so far) both on and off the court. It would be great to be able to focus on just the basketball, but unfortunately, circumstances do not allow it - only 3 practices before entering a major championship, no tv deal, no jersey sponsor...the guys are not being given a chance to succeed and instead being embarrassed on a global stage. It's not good enough and something needs to be done. More here from BallinEurope, and check out the last two episodes of Sunday Night Breakdown as well. GB complete their campaign tonight against Italy, playing for pride, at 8pm on Courtside 1891 (use code HOOPSF25 for 25% off the annual pass).

👏 Dan Clark becomes GB Men's all-time cap leader

With his 117th appearance, Dan Clark surpassed Eric Boateng as the all-time caps leader for the GB Senior Men - add it to his points and rebounds record. Need to recognise greatness while it is still happening, and Dan's service to his country - despite all the stuff going on behind the scenes - is unmatched and commendable.
