The Knicks are so bad, I’d sign Bin Laden if I thought he could hit the 3 consistently.

I would like to point out that “federal statutes” doesn’t restrict the Toronto Raptors from picking this guy up.

RUCerious – exactly! Plus, it’s been pretty well confirmed he’s been in Africa seeking large quantities of yellow headbands. He wants to block shots here so he doesn’t have to block them over there. Is he a threat? Do he, a point guard and a small forward constitute an axis of evil? Facing clear evidence of peril, we can’t wait for the final proof — the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a shattered backboard.

cazzie, is he also developing an enriched crossover? How about his passing secrets to Hezbollah skills? Can he block out in the post-Israeli era?

Go ahead and make jokes about it, but this guy has been illegally enriching his low-post moves for a long time, and he’s now about 12 months away from developing the sky hook. No, really. Throw on top of that the fact that his stated goal is to wipe the Lakers off the face of first place in the Pacific Division, and you get a better sense of the danger.

This has to do with money, so it will be solved within weeks. If this had something to do with diplomacy, we’d be here for years.

Exactly to be more accurate it has to do with a RICH MANS money so you can BET it will be solved fairly quickly.

misshusseinmolly,

The typo you pointed out is in the original article that way. What TP should do is put a little “(sic)” after it, so we know it wasn’t their mistake. I’m sure they hear enough grief over their own typos, they don’t need to take any for someone else’s. :)

I didn’t see it before, but the (sic) is there now.

I like the idea of a statue that prohibits doing business with Iran. Wonder what it looks like? Cheney whacking off into a turban? (Yes I realize I probably made a lot of people just lose their appetite…)

Oh, this is a good one. The NBA is run internally by Zionists and David Stern would be damned if he had an Iranian on the court as a “smiley face” for the Iranian people. Since Stern already has issues with refs gambling on/throwing games, mass speculation that the NBA Lottery is rigged internally…which he all denies except in the case of the one ref who was caught. Then along with enforcing a player dress code, the commish is going to say one thing with this, but will let the politics play out before ever letting Hamed Ehdadi in the league.

A little “grease money” is all it will take for the NBA to get what it wants, our politicians are easily bought.

Oh, and TP — I think you mean “federal statute”, not “federal statue”. Unless the Statue of Liberty is these prohibitions.

Man…can you imagine going to the rack strong with the Statue of Liberty guarding the rim? Talk about not in my house! And think of the dunking!

Hmmm…would she have to play in the WNBA?

“We have been advised that a federal statue prohibits a person or organization in the United States from engaging in business dealings with Iranian nationals.”

- – No, statue is correct. They were referring to the Statue of Liberty.

No No No the statue of liberty play is football

It is up to us, the voters, to do something in November before Congress will do anything. We all claim George WTF is insane because he expects different results from identical actions. Why should we expect this Congress to do anything constructive without some different action.

I thought it was the part where they steal everybody’s underpants.

This tall-a**ed Iranian dude is either with us or agin us. Can’t you understand simple Englich?

Seriously, as a serious sports fan…I’d love to be able to watch this guy play somewhere. But watching him on Iranian Tee Vee is probably a terrist act, so…

Can Mr. Ehadadi apply for citizenship in another country, one with whom we can do business?

They should just follow the Halliburton Playbook

step one: set up a subsidiary of the NBA and an agency in Dubai.

step two: ????

step three: profit

Well of course. He’ll probably try to sneak a nuke in under his jersey.
