The Great Britain men's national basketball team, known as Great Britain or GB, is the national team for Great Britain in basketball. The current governing body for the Great Britain team was formed by the national basketball organisations of England , Scotland and Wales on 1 December 2005 in order to provide a competitive team for international competition.
