Basketball's getting more popular, but there's still a long way to go

I would like to know how popular basketball is in Britain?   Yanghong, Yunnan, China

Basketball has increased in popularity in China in recent years, partly due to the success of players like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in the NBA.

But while Britain doesn't have a strong tradition of playing basketball, could this be changing in the run up to the London 2012 Olympic Games?
