Already known as the player who held the unenviable task of replacing Michael Jordan at shooting guard, Myers, a Bulls assistant coach, was tabbed Wednesday to be filmed for a biographical profile on President-elect Barack Obama that will air on BBC-TV in England on Inauguration Day.

“Can you believe that?” Myers said, laughing.
