Ben Gordon set for Great Britain Olympics team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Ben Gordon has confirmed his intention to play for Great Britain at the London Olympics this summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Detroit Pistons star,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who played for the United States at the 2003 Pan American Games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has been verbally committed to Chris Finch's team for the past few summers, but is yet to pull on a GB jersey.
He withdrew from the 2009 EuroBasket squad to concentrate on the Pistons having just signed as a free agent from Chicago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and then sat out last year's tournament to be with his wife for the birth of their child.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the 28-year-old has insisted his commitment to play this year is firm.
The London-born Gordon said: "I am playing in the summer and I'm really excited about it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"I'm looking forward to the Olympics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I've got a lot of family there so it will be nice to see them and it will be a great competition with us really looking to be the surprise team.
"We're looking to win the gold medal, that's the ultimate goal.
"Although realistically we'll be aiming to win as many games as possible. It's hard to predict at this stage but we'll look to go out there and compete every night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
The United States head to London as defending champions and firm favourites,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Spain considered Europe's best hope of upsetting the all-star American squad.
Britain have two NBA players,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gordon and his former team-mate in Chicago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Luol Deng,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who has this season been named to the NBA All-Star team.
Team GB,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have two NBA players in Gordon and former Chicago team-mate Luol Deng,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will face the Americans in a pre-Olympic warm-up game in Manchester on July 19.
