NBA Player Heading to Iran

[truebeliever786]

Long Live Islam Iran!!!!

Iran has no nuclear weapons and does not want to develop them. Iran's against nukes. America, the hypocrites, have nukes and have used them on a civilian population. Iran hasn't so they should shut their mouths, the stupid hypocrites.

[privatewinters]

[BapeSta818]

Rofl the media acts like iran over tehre ppl walk around with bombs and stuff like that rofl  over there its not a danger zone

[kings57]

i would die to play with the iranian team for just one game let alone a whole season

[ishmaeljo]

The middle east gets a bad rep from our media alot of times. Its really not that bad over there. I have played in several countries myself and i will tell anybody that America is the most dangerous place i have ever lived! I was treated with a great deal of respect and dignity for my stay in the Middle East...We often categorize the whole culture from a small percentage of extremists!

[mamalykhan]

You morons, Arab is different than Iran or Persia. Persia has 2500 years of rich history. That's more than the whole North America put together so all you idiots STFU

[zilavecdam]

i watched Ehadadi and he is much better:D:D:D

[pqpersian858]

u people swear like its some death zone in iran man...young people there are down just like young people here

[ultimatedbzmasta]

a lot of people get ARABS and PERSIANS mixed up...especially with that hand chopping shit

[alivaezmousavi]

man he sounds so funny.. where is he from ?

[neilp1993]

wow, how much is he getitng paid there? atleast he has the balls to go there lol i wouldnt

[papapsn]

yea, dont worry nobody wants you there...

iran is amazing, partying in toronto is nothing, go to rasht get your hands on some contraband booz and see how fun it is... (its amazing btw)...

[Pentagoli]

u white dumbass dont know shit lol

[greatSFgreat]

wow no offense hes a idoit for going to iran hes going to get hes head blown off or somthing

[smackemhoe]

This guy is being a man about it, hes taking a huge chance with his life possibly to play basketball and to understand about a culture. there's a misconception between America and the Arabic world, both sides judge by the cover/media. We all know that the media only shows the bad side cuz thats how news get the ratings and its sad cuz thats all we see and we judge from that. We really dont have a clue what one another is really about. so kudos to him for trying..

[alivaezmousavi]

dude haha..iranians are not arabs.

get ur shit right first

[sway2000]

alivaezmousavi, whats so funny? that iranians are not arabs is not necessarily common knowledge.

[iflmu]

If you steal in Iran you do NOT get your hands chopped off.. That happens in the Arab world, we are PERSIANS. If you steal you will be arrested and processed like the rest of the world.

[THESHACKLEFERG]

to be your still in a country under sharia law so i'd have to say BULLSHIT.....

[sarzamineiran]

Sousk

[alivaezmousavi]

wtf hahaha

[persiandudeee]

There are actually alot of westerners living in Iran.. Most of them being Europeans. There are also alot of refugees from Afghansiatn,Iraq and from other middle eastern countries living in Iran.

[paooki]

forgot to say...reporter looks and sounds like borat!! hilarious

[skytmac]

lol true shit.i think hez israeli or somethin

[xbocker]

ha ha ha he told him DONT STEAL

[bbproductionsLA]

sure go for it. but I think U.S. is building all the bases in Iraq because they foolishly plan to enter Iran next. I'm not sure but I think it would be a huge mistake on U.S. part yet I knew the entire assault on Iraq was a plan to help Israel. duh duh duh.

[Mastertexter]

I'm iranian too, I'm playing professional basketball in Germany (I left Iran with 6 years) Iran is a BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, the americans just showing our negatives but what is about they're own ? Vietnam and Iraq are just two famous examples. Iran have so much to give and there are living so many intelligent peoples. Ahmadinedjad is just an exception. We invented much of the greatest inventions ever. For example : We invented the bends you americans are eating your soups with xD

[NBA133]

u get paid?

[brentdarby4]

i dont usually post comments, but i had to this time, i dont care what they say about Iran, dont know american have no business there. i play professional basketball overseas and there is no way in hell i would go to Iran. Come on now lets keep it real.

[lakeshow499]

you have no idea what you're talking about. at least research what Tehran is like before you pass judgment based on clips from American TV. Iranians are actually much more westernized as a people and than neighboring states. PEW Research found Iranians have a higher favorable rating of Americans than any of the 22 neighboring countries outside of Israel. Iranian people, the vast majority, are seeking a secular democratic country like they had before the US CIA overthrew it in the 1950's.

[rob60201]

ah, u killed it in the big ten tourney that one year, no?

go big ten!

[crazyray64]

wut the hell iran doesnt care im persian nothings gonna happen if ai goes ether

[yao11ming4mvp]

dog?

Iran?

good luck kid

[SolidSnakeRules]

how is this guy insulting shaq

[jlee222]

lol cuz he knows he cant get his ass kicked by shaq while hes at iran, what a loser

[peymang]

god damn us Americans are stupid. You guys get caught up in the news too much. Despite all the religous bullshit, Iran is a sophisticated country. Most of the world's great inventions are actually Persian made. Damn, no wonder Bsh wins elections.

[gotmomo22]

dude why is this guy talking like IRAN is the worst place on the planet??? they have a great basketball program there...infact they won the GOLD in the asian games beating china and all the other teams and they will be in the next the Olympics!!! great decision dude and no they dont chop peoples heads off in iran!!!

[yokozana]

[zoabeh]

i heard tehran was actually a pretty modern place. hope you do alright there josh. dont let the interviewer dude scare you with stereotypical 'hand chopping' garbage.

[smuj2020]

[wayland2]
