Congrats to the newest member of the NBA, HAMED HADADI!

[EKBATAN]

Here he is despite being 2.3 meters. 7'6. He's getting dunked on. He already retired.

but I don't Haddadi is THAT weak like Bradley.

loool what is that top 10 dunks on bradley??

poor guy is made fun of so much

[Saam]

Lol that guy sucks ass

[Tooyedarbazeh]

The good thing about being on a shit team is he will be given more bench opportunities to prove himself early on.
(more blowouts, etc.)

they have gasol and Darko who will start way before Hamed does.

[KasraKhan]

I've been reading on NBA forums that Memphis is looking to trade Darko now that they have signed Ehdadi.

Lets see what happens.

if hadadi shows anything in preseason or training camp AT ALL darko wont be at center, he is a forward. The only reason he played center was because they didnt have one. Now memphis has 2, gasol and hadadi, and they will split the time. Darko wont be center (if he stays)

highlights of him vs utah summer team on front page of www.nba.com

hadadi

but that misspelling i could live with, i have heard ehdadi, which is the worst, ehadadi was the most common one, which was also bad, but this is just a letter. No prob

actually dar*** a big man who came in the league as a C. he can play both positions depending on the system the team plays (if 2 low, then it really doesnt matter as 4 and 5 are alternative in that system)

[EKBATAN]

yea darko will play power forward and hadadi will be gasol's back up

we can be sure he'll at least play 10min or so
especially with gasol's fat ass, he might get tired quickly

i think hamed haddadi can become the greatest iranian athlete in a team sport...making the NBA as a basketball player from Iran is harder than making the EPL from Iran (at least I think... I mean, alot of players are given chances in the NBA, but if he does well he'll be Irans most recognizable athlete)

You are absolutely right on that. This is huge. They are thousands of Brothers(I mean Nigga) dying to play one day in the NBA. Comparing this its like one of our TM plays one day in the final of champions league and scores 2 goals for manchster united. This is huge. Tabrik

Absoultellllllyyyyyyyyyyy wonderful.

I have already signed up with Memphis Grizzlies newsletter and hope I can actually watch him live on NBA channel.

One of the most memorable day for Iran sport.

[Babak]

He'll get about 10-12 minutes per game in his 1st season if he's lucky. There will also be nights he doesn't get off the bench.

I'm down to meet up and go to his games in LA with all you guys, but in a more subtle manner like Ekabatan suggested. I think we shouldn't blow him up and have him all hyped up so he's portrayed as some 7 foot scrub stiff who only attracts Iranian fanboys. Lets let his game do the talking for now (and it won't be much for the next year or two).
