Bad news about barbour though, he is an exceptional player.

this is why basketball also lost alot of popularity.. in the past People used to watch sagesse winning arab championship by one foreigner + all lebanese...
now u watch arab championship, they play with 3 foreigners + naturalized players ( jordan, lebanon..) .. egyptians gave up participating as well...

mich mazbout hal 7ake!!!!
We have one and only naturalized player and his name is Jackson Vroman.All the other players are lebanese!!!!!
Last year Sagesse made a huge contract to get Matt Freije to play with them but he instead played with Milwaukee Bucks!
So again:matt Freije,Daniel Faris,Omar krayem,Bassel Bawje,Ali kanaan,...are all LEBANESE

I hope that the Lebanese players coming from abroad who just joined the National Team will also sign with Lebanese clubs similar to what Brian Bechara did when he joined the NT back then.

So again:matt Freije,Daniel Faris,Omar krayem,Bassel Bawje,Ali kanaan,...are all LEBANESE

ufff! can u name them?!

[LebanesePride]

Actually dania surprised and named some that i thought werent going to join.

I was with some of those players who are friends and friends of friends and many of the most famous ones were bitching and saying they didnt want to play.

Some cited complaints about how theyre treated in the team and a couple said they "wanted to enjoy their summer".

But i guess things changed since then
