Samad Bahrami - aka Mohammadsamad Nik Khahbahrami

We are allowed to talk to Iran players now, instead of the 7'2" guy, how about the 6'7" g/f:

Samad Bahrami - aka Mohammadsamad Nik Khahbahrami. Samad is the heart and soul of the Iranian team. At 6'7", he has pure shooting guard skill but has been forced to play small forward due to the plethora of shorter 2 guards on the roster. He's known to be a great rebounder for his size, a plus shooter, and an exceptionally hard worker. Oh, and he's Iran's captain. His brother and teammate- Aidin- was tragically killed in a car accident just before New Year 2008. Aidin played a prominent role in Iran's qualification at the Asian Championship 2007. Samad has been praised highly for the way he handled the difficult situation, and according to reports, has taken on an insane workload to make up for the void left by his brother's death. All in all, this is a guy I will definitely be rooting for in Beijing, whether he's playing against us or not.

Highly doubt anyone under 7ft from Iran even gets a look from NBA teams.

That's almost as "bad" as Mutombo's
full name. Well, almost.
