Default Why england hasn't got a good basketball team?

Well basketball is generally considered as the 2nd most reputable sport. Even in some countries the people don't care too much for basketball they have good national teams and leagues such as: Spain, Italy, France, Germany. Why England can't make a competitive team as above countries or even a team that can qualify to Eurobasket which smaller countries qualify very often like israel, lithuania, Latvia or Croatia?
