Ask the American fan in the street who is the best-known sporting Briton in the United States and, despite all the Hollywood hoopla, the name they come up with will not be you-know-who but Luol Deng. Over there, he is bigger than Beckham in every sense. Over here, he is still growing in stature, even though he stands 6ft 9in and is pushing Team GB to new heights in basketball. He scored 22 points yesterday as Britain secured promotion to European Group A, vital for prospects of Olympic qualification in 2012, by beating Switzerland 89-78 in Geneva. |
