Today we are taking an important next step in the development of British professional basketball. The Federation is inviting formal expressions of interest to bid for a long-term licence to operate the men’s professional 5vs5 league in Great Britain. “Looking at the popularity and positive energy around basketball in Britain, this has to be seen as one of the most significant opportunities for many years across the entire professional sport landscape. We salute the resilience and positive energy of all those who have made this season possible and we look forward to building on the growing professionalism and unity of purpose which has enabled British professional basketball to overcome significant challenges and demonstrate its readiness to go to the next level and beyond.” - Chris Grant OBE, Chair of the British Basketball Federation For more information please see the GB Basketball website. https://lnkd.in/evrwYdi8
