    too bad for us i guess,
    from what i read he's really good, i read an article about him where he stood his ground against the 7 foot 3, 2nd NBA draft pick, hasheem tabet, and challenged him for supremacy under the basket.
    its a big loss for us, though alot of people were claiming he's lebanese.

    but what about the 4 nationalities ???

    When the FLB contacted him he claimed to be a Lebanese than it was known that he is Egyptian than Qataris said they might get him, and every time a national team contacts him he claims that he is from that origin and can play with them!!!!! Anyway he is good but of course not as hasheem

    Yo Dani! I'm not sure bro. I remember Nazih Bawji had a poster of himself playing in the NCAA in his shop (Harlem) in Hamra but I haven't visited his place in a long time so I can't remember.
