Greatest sporting memory
One of my greatest sporting memories was playing for the Eastbourne Lions U16’s when we went undefeated for three seasons and won the Sussex championship three years in a row. Another standout moment was when I was 17 and dropped 40 points on the U19 Wales captain, hitting 7 threes in the 4th quarter.
Interesting fact
I’ve been playing basketball for 15 years, competing in various leagues including the local league in Sussex, the National Conference, and the Premier League, as well as winning the LABL summer league.
Sporting hero and why
Hamed Haddadi is my sporting hero because of the way he’s elevated Iranian basketball to the global stage. Being the first Iranian to play in the NBA, he broke barriers that many thought were unbreakable, representing our country with skill and composure. His contributions to the national team, including leading us to FIBA Asia Cup victories, show his importance not just as a player but as a leader. What I admire most about Haddadi is how he’s remained grounded despite his success, staying connected to his roots while proving that Iranians can compete at the highest levels of sport. He’s not just an athlete but a symbol of perseverance and ambition.
