GEORGIA GWIZZLIES SIGN LEAGUE'S FIRST IRANIAN PLAYER

18-Oct-2007
Macon, GA -- The Georgia Gwizzlies today announced that they have signed Iranian born Behdad Sami to their roster of players. Currently residing in Oregon, according to team owner Embry Malone, "We believe that Behdad is the one and only professional Iranian basketball player in the US. USBASKET.COM shows only six Iranians playing basketball in the US at a higher level than high school. All six are still in college. And the best part, he's very good."

"Atlanta has the second largest Persian community in the USA," added Malone. Hopefully people from Atlanta will spread the word and make the trip to Macon to see him play. I know that they will turn out in force when we visit the Atlanta Vision this season. Behdad is a top notch athlete and will change the perception of Iranian players. Hopefully he will be a huge influence and a role model to all Iranian kids.

Behad is 5'11" and can dunk, he is unbelievably quick and fundamentally sound. For the last three years, he has been training with HoopDreams and personally trains with Kumbeno Memory ( www.hoopdreams.info ). He played a year at Linn Benton College and has also played professionally in Romania and attended the China Basketball Association camp run by the US Basketball Academy.
