[Essi]

Anyone know why he was not selected for the final 12? I mean he's one of worlds talest Basketball player and he was strike off the final list!!!?

[Farhad-7]

I saw somewhere he was injured or something!

He is not a good player for TM standrads. He is basically just tall.

I think a lot of people who don't regularly follow Basketball TM rate Jaber purely because of his height. He's not a good forward, certainly no competition for Hadadi who is more experienced and has a soft touch. Jaber makes far too many offensive fouls and lacks ball skills, he is also very slow and has poor fitness.

Because unfortunately he sucks. It won't matter if you're 10 feet tall if you can't run and athletically compete with the other players on the court. Not to mention the guy completely lacks the basic skills for basketball.

He played one minute against Australia before the Olympics and in that short period of time he caused a turn over . He is a useless player but its a shame because he height could have proved handy for the team.

Whats an even bigger shame was the death of the brother of Iran's star player Nikkhah Bahrami who was a future prospect for the national team and a talented player.

[EKBATAN]

YEA it sucks that he's not good

he started playing basketball at 14 so he doesnt know the game well and he's not very strong...so he easily loses balance

[Essi]

[The-Iron-Ghost]

[shayan20]
