Gordon called up to British hoops squad

 
Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon is the latest NBA player to be selected to the fledgling British basketball team that's trying to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. Gordon, who turns 25 on April 4, moved to the United States shortly after he was born in London. The former Connecticut star was drafted by the Bulls in the first round in 2004. He was one of two Bulls players to appear in all 82 games last season, averaging 21.4 points. [link]
