Iran might have lost handsomely to Greece on the opening day of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament, but Arsalan Kazemi gave the man who many Euroleague fans were calling “the people’s MVP” Ioannis Bourousis a highlight that he will not want to see again.
Kazemi, who plays his basketball for Samen Mash’had of the Iranian Basketball SuperLeague led the Iranian break and with the 7-foot Bourousis running alongside, many players would look to draw contact or stop the transition play and slow the offence down.
But not Kazemi. And not when a spot at the Rio 2016 Olympics is on the line.
