This is Great British Bosses - the behind the scenes conversation of British sport - and a real frank discussion in this episode about how this country's second most played sport among the young, gets hardly any professional attention and support.

It's something Steve Bucknall, the Head of Talent & Performance at Basketball England, has always wanted to change, and after guiding Team England to gold and silver success at last year's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 3x3, and further changes behind the scenes in Britain, he's already noticing the progress being made.

But as Steve says "we're focusing on football way too much". Hell yeah! Fortunately, not on this podcast or series, as we discuss Paris 2024, the wasted 2012 legacy and the not so small matter of this 6ft6 South London star, being the first English NBA player!!! A definite three pointer!
