As a former player, from the Sheffield Steelers, I'm looking forward to seeing the tournament on tv.

It's a shame that there isn't more coverage of wheelchair basketball and disabled sport in general - it seems to only come to our screens during the Paralympics every four years.

Basketball is such a 'watchable' sport for all, not just disabled viewers. I believe that more coverage will lead to more interest and participation and subsequently, stronger GB teams in the future.

Good luck to both the men's and women's teams in Manchester - hopefully the start of a successful campaign which will lead to medals in Beijing!

I like watching proper basketball and I don't know much about wheelchair basketball but I heard he is a good player.
