Follow Hamed Haddadi's NBA updates here

[EKBATAN]

The other thread was getting old and long....so i figured we start a new thread so people can update his progress, put up links, pictures etc...


so far....he went to D-league for a month and he got alot of minutes, then was called back by his team last month. He's played 2 official games in the NBA, first one 4 min, second one 2 min....


Tonight they're hosting Cleveland Cavs, you can watch the game here: http://atdhe.net/

[EKBATAN]

no it was darius miles
they got him back for a 10 day contract or something. lol
anyway he's not a threat, i found out he's 6'9'' ....5" shorter than hamed

[EKBATAN]

haha lebron is single handedly killin them
hopefully they keep it up and when they lose hope, hamed comes in



edit: he came in last 55 sec of 3rd quarter, got 1 rebound, actually 2 but i dont think it counts after the buzzer. LOL

[Babak]

Came in end of the quarter and got a quick board so far.

[Türküm]

[EKBATAN]

[EKBATAN]

poor guy is so hungry to play the game, i could tell he was just asking for a shot or a chance to block....

Is this the first Iranian in the NBA? When did this happen? Who does he play for? Pardon my ignorance...

well at least he is getting playing time.

btw, have the announcers said anything about him being iranian and have they tried to pull political shit into their commentating?

no they've been nice...saying good things actually...about how he played in the olympics like lebron and he was the only player with double double average

yea he's slowly getting in there, he runs and poitions himself well...he hasnt had many chances to show himself and doesnt make terrible mistakes or anything....i mean nothing worst than others...he needs to be a bit more aggressive and physical

[EKBATAN]

they're playing utah jazz tonite......haddadi did play against ***ilenko and russia in the olympics

right now its half time, grizzlies are losing....haddadi should get a few min sometime in 2nd half.....check out the stats, most of the starters suck with all the min they get, it shouldnt make a difference if they play haddadi or not. LOL

[EKBATAN]

Nevermind No haddadi tonite....grizz tried HARD all game to come back but they kept trailing about 10pts, utah is too good for them


game over

another home loss for memphis
