Iran Basketball NT Thread

[EKBATAN]

so who are the real threats? china, korea, jordan right? everyone else should be whatever


i really hope samad bahrami and afagh play so we could win...it'll be amazing seeing them in olympics next year, hopefully we get drawn with US again that way kazemi can show himself off again for the NBA scouts....and that sux that asia only gets 1 spot

If we have have our full team for the asian championship i think we will easily win it. Kamrani,Nikkah Bahrami,Afagh,Kazemi,Haddadi thats a scary lineup. But unfortunitely doesnt seem like kazemi is aloud to play.

good thread
especially since asian championship is coming up soon for the 2 time asian champions trying to make it a third and i'm sure you will keep us updated with recovering players and team news

Well guys i think it will be good to have a thread dedicated to basketball after all. Feel free to discuss and bring on news about our basketball "Team Melli".

To start off i have a bad news,and that is Saman Veisi will miss the Asian Championship as he says himself. Here is a link in Farsi of him talking about his injury.

The team arrived in Iran yesterday and they will have 8-9 days off before starting their trainings again. I think the rest is much needed as our players are injury prone after playing 9 games in 9 days.

P.S: China's small forward Wang Shipeng got injured last night against Australia in the 2012 Olympic test event. He broke his arm and will miss the Asian Championship. He is a crucial player to them,so a big blow for the Chinese.
