No he does not. He used to play for Saba, but right now he is playing for Zob Ahan.

Also, look at this: This might a little bit old news but i thought you guys might want to know.

Congratulations to Saba Battery Fans - Mar. 20, 2006 - by Houman Bagheri

The powerhouse Saba Battery were crowned champions of Iran's Super League, beating Petrochimi of Mahshahr 3 times in a row in the final phase of the competitions which was 3 out of 5. Saba had only one loss through the whole season in a game against Pegah of Shiraz, and it kept its dominancy over the other teams, thanks to the well-organized team they had all the times in all games.
In the third and last clash, Garth Joseph, the tallest import in the Iranian Super League (218cm) made the last shot in just 1 second to the end of the match, and changed the score to 66-64.

AWESOME MOJO...

Thank you for making this clear i was looking for those date.

I guess you will be the news breaker for those game i hope


By the way, again about Jaber...Do you know if he has improved or any signs of him going to the NBA?
probably not huh He doesnt know the game too well to play in NBA, he should have started playing at an age younger than 14

No Problem bro, and about Jaber, unfortunately i have not heard much news about him, except that he is in Iran and plays for Zob Ahan. I think that he should have stayed in the U.S so he could understand the game better.

But i still have hope in this guy. HES ONLY 19 years old and hes 7'5". He has a lot of potential but he has to work hard on improving his game.

Saba Battery of Iran, started the Semifinals of WASL with a home victory in Tehran, beating Lebanon’s Blue Stars 89-81.

Saba got off to a quick start, posting 22 points against 15 in the first quarter. The white-clads kept the lead by 7 points in the second quarter, and took a 47-40 edge into the intermission. In the third, the Iranians pushed their lead to 15, when Saba ended the period 67-52. However, in the last quarter, the host appeared not well-organized as they were over the past 30 minutes. Blue Stars were running to close the gap, when the game finished 89-81 for Saba.

WOOHOO!!!!!

The second leg will be played next monday...
