Any decision by FIBA yet?

The issue with Enver & Zaid is just an unbelievable and unclear move by FIBA Officials ... ... Still waiting for the final decision !!!

In the mean time, all eyes are on the local league right now ... reaching the final four stage and delivering the best local basketball level since more that 7 years ... and all without imports ... but with the amazing participation from ASIA's stars "Zaid Abbas & Sam Daghlas" ...

Rasheim Wright will play for Jordan?

Coach Tab Baldwin confirmed to me yesterday that Rasheim Wright will not be suiting up for the Jordanian NT this summer...

When I also asked him about the Jordanian NT's preparations and their chances of winning against Puerto Rico and Greece this is what he told me:

"Khalid, we're doing ok. We have a few minor injuries to key players who had long tough seasons but they will heal up soon, hopefully. The other players are making me very proud. Their work rate is exceptional and we are having a fairly brutal camp up here in Istanbul. I'm hopeful we see good results for the hard work in WABA and beyond but Venezuela is a huge ask. Greece and PR are extremely high level teams but we'll never give them a game. They will have to fight and we will be swinging from the other side".

Where is such guys like Al-Sous or I.Abbas? I remember they've played last year in Asian championship and if I'm not wrong was quite important players
