im definately picking up a grizzlies jersey of him

I would have to disagree with you. He was successful because of his tenacity and hard work. He was not a very "skilled" player. He was a great athlete, but I wouldnt use the word "skilled". In my humble opinion, the most talented athlete (in a team sport) Iran has ever had would be Ali Karimi. Now if he had the tenacity and dedication that Ali Daei had (or some could argue, has) he could have been something very very special in the world of football.

I dont mean karimi kind of talent which to me is worthless. You have to knwo when to do what. Thats very important and its when the brain is involved. Its what sperates Kobe and MJ from Vince carter and Tracy mcgrady.

daei just with hard work would not ahve been able to do as much as he has done. as for karimi, majid namjoo motlagh was more talented. You guys just havent seen him!

wow !!! speechless! great great news, I knew this would happen but didnt think it'd happen so early, I dont follow basketball that much, can someone give me some info about his team? are they any good?

they have a decent team but in unfortunate circumstances, because they are in the western conference which is 10x better than the eastern conference, and on top of that they are in the southwest division, which is a lot better than the rest of the west. If they were in, say, the southeastern division in the eastern conference, they would be a playoff team. In their situation they are at risk of having one of the worst records. BUT NOT ANYMORE

babak where did you here he liked to party lol...

Vince carter and Tracy mcgrady

thats 15 all star game appearances right there

[persianbruin]

thats 15 all star game appearances right there

how many playoff wins????

[Hadi]

wow best of luck to him.

His life has changed in a matter of 2 years. Going from just a basketball player in Iran who nobody knew to an NBA player living in the US.

[Saam]

Thanks NY you made my day!!

[Ali]

congratz to him. great achievement. but hopefully they will teach him to score some free throws.

[Ali]

ali dqei in football was better than haddadi in bball. Most of it is because he is tall then because he has got some skills. Ali daei was all skills.
People like to bash him ow. But this website is up and running (along with some other ones) because TM finally had an ali daei. People make fun of some of his 100 + goals but did pele score most of his goals against germany, argentina and italy???
daei was successful in the bundesliga and the champions league as well

You must spread some rep before giving it to persianbruin again.

[pooya_B]

This sums up my emotions right now:

Poor guy is going to have to live in Memphis.

All PFDC'ers in L.A. should pick one of the 2 games the Clippers play Grizz and all get tickets in the same sections. Were our Iran jersies, bring our horns, and make it a party. Eki? Babak? Sam? PB? Blue?
