Ben Gordon Scores 17 Points in GB Debut

By Sam Neter on August 14, 2016

Watch Ben Gordon make his long-awaited GB debut and drop 17 points against Germany on Saturday night.

Gordon went 6/13 from the floor and added 1 rebound in 23 minutes but GB lost 61-78, to fall to 0-2 in preparation.

Gordon and GB will now come up against Slovenia in Ljubljana next weekend, before the Netherlands visit Manchester over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

GB’s official qualifiers for EuroBasket 2017 will then begin, with an away trip to Hungary preceding three vitally important home games in the space of a week.

They face FYR of Macedonia (Saturday September 3rd, 6.30pm tip time), Luxembourg (Wednesday September 7th, 7pm) and Hungary (Saturday September 10th, 6.30pm).

The group is completed when Britain travel to Skopje to face the Macedonians (Wednesday September 14th) and then the senior men’s international season concludes with GB’s trip to Luxembourg on Saturday September 17th.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
