Iran's Haddadi to play in NBA

I'd check with the US Department of State about a visa before I made any serious plans if I were Haddadi. I mean, one never knows - shooting a basketball might be considered a terrorist act by 2008.

Iranian national basketball player, Hamed Haddadi says he has received several letters from NBA teams inviting him to play for them.

"Several NBA (National Basketball Association in USA) teams have sent me letters inviting me to play for them," said Haddadi in an interview on Saturday.

"The talent of Iranian players has come to be known after our team secured a berth as one of the 12 teams to play in the Olympic Games," he added.

Haddadi said he would probably start playing for the NBA after the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
