It's not that way.. many players who are on high caliber us NCAA schools are not lucky to be that way.. maybe you forgot Kobe Paras, who is supposed to be UCLA varsity player but now become a disappointment.. that's very high us NCAA basketball program.. it's on player's determination if they want to be successful...where is Greg Oden? Or Andrew Bennett? I see Korea and Iran might be cut among 9 too contenders to get that world cup slot in 2027...
Surely Jarin Stevenson will make an impact with Koreans and among the 3, jarin plays in high major conference (SEC)..

That's not funding issues.. some countries don't want to go in Tehran due to political issues...
If the country is really unstable, they should just change the venue to a neutral one.
I still don't get why FIBA doesn't understand Tehran isn't a stable place.

Dangerous only for US and its allies. Kazakhstan is not a US Ally, nor a poor country. Must be something else. Kazakhstan's muslim population is Sunni, while Iran is Shia. They dont get along. Just my guess.

I was waiting for the game between Iran and Kazakhstan in my Pilipinas Live then it suddenly disappeared.
They should have gone to stream the India and Qatar. Looks like Qatar is having their 2000's team vibe out there.
Seriously, how Qatar was able to play two naturalized players at the same time? Harris and Lewis are obviously naturalized players. I did not include other Afro-Qataris and Euro-Qataris since I assume that they did able to secure Qatari passports before reaching 16 years old. Even the OS Basket, a Jordanian basketball page, was able to notice it.Attack

OT: Just watch Qatar now, they field 2 Americans on the same floor.. Tyler Harris and Mike Lewis are both US born players... How FIBA allowed this? Only 1 naturalized player can field per team...
But come to think about it, Qatar with 2 world imports in Harris & Mike Lewis could only beat India by 16 pts. Qatar led at half by only 5 pts & led by 11 pts going into the 4th quarter.
Qatar player 6-foot-11 Alen Hadzibegovic, who is of Montenegro descent, did not play in this game. Hadzibegovic used to play in Russia's div. 1 Pro league where he registered impressive stats."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV
