ISTANBUL (FIBA World Championship) - The Minister of Sports for Iran, Ali Saeedlou, has lent his support to the Iranian team just hours before their opening game against Brazil.
The two teams play in Istanbul on Saturday night in a Group B game.
The Minister met players, including center Hamed Ehadadi – the 25-year-old who is coming off his second season with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 7ft 2in Ehaddadi is the first Iranian to play in the NBA and has been a dominant figure in Iran’s gold-medal winning sides at the last two FIBA Asia Championships.
