Muslim Basketball

If this team goes undefeated, is Hassan Chaabane worthy of MVP consideration?? 18 points 3 rebound and 4 assists on the best team in the league should garner more attention. Another stellar outing from Zain with 17 and 8, Idris knocked down some 3s. Off night from Kareem but don't expect that moving forward. 

Okay, so they were without Pete Brown, which as well all know, should account for something. They lost by 5 and got outrebounded by 4, and Pete is going to give you that 10 min into the game. Nonetheless, they missed a whole lot of 3s. A week after setting the new 3pt record, Masri was the only Mombasa player to hit any, as he went 4-11. Elias has not looked like himself since his great start back in weeks 1 and 2. Again, I am making a lot of excuses for this team, but they are still my favorite to win it all. 

Big Moose, with the BIG stat line and probably played his way into POTW. 33 points 9 rebounds and 4 steals. Jay Wigs flirted with a triple double and Wajdi had 15 and 12 of his own. Can't forget the other Yanes brothers had they both had their best games of the season. I'd love to put them in the top two but can't at the moment. 

They won via forfeit and honestly, I had them losi..... na sike, they would have won by 20 +. Unfortunately, they can't move up in this week's rankings. 

HOT TAKE! Lahore has two top ten players in the league. Yes, Shahzaib and Aadil are two of the top 10 players in the league. Go cry about it, IDC! 22 points and 9 rebounds for the 18-year-old. On the season he is averaging 19 points on 62 percent from the field. And when Shahzaib isn't capturing our hearts on the basketball court, he is capturing some great photos, as seen on our Facebook and IG pages. 

So many options offensively its honestly scary. Ali Hassan is guaranteed 20 points. You can pencil in Sal for 3-5 makes from deep every game and YoShah is so cerebral as a guard that he keeps defenses on their toes all night long. Can't forget the paint presence they get from Raied, Sufian and Big Jean. 

MJ came back wearing the 4 5, not really, but MJ made his return and helped his team snap their two game losing streak. The favorite for ROTY has been ballin' and been their most consistent player. Jake and Ameer were up to their usual contributions. I think they win their remaining 3 games. 

Farhad is the MVP, but he can't play 1 on 5. Despite leading the league in almost every statistical category, the man needs some consistent help. Kabul did not have Tom, which is 12-17 points and Allen A had an off night from 3. I would like to see Chris take more than 8 shots as he is a very underrated player. 

For starters they were without Shafic and it seemed like Coach Towfeek Spoelstra wasn't prepared, as they had no answer for Hassan. Towfeek may have to get on the court sooner rather than later to save this team's championshp hopes. Is the game closer with Shafic on the floor? 100%. The most realistic scenario for this team, is winning 2 of their next 3. 

After being called out by his '03 classmates, Nader has been an absolute monster. 21, 4, 3 and 5 and woooo Ammar Suliman with 17 and 10. All thats left is for Jaber to turn back the clock. Congrats on being in the top 10 for the first time in the history of the franchise. 

Luis where art thou? At least they have Ian. They have now lost 3 of their last 4. Splash go back to making 3's man and Muhannad go back to averaging 12 and 12. 

12 makes as a team from 3, The Omar trio combined for 41 and Mr. Hussein had a season high 31 on 60% shooting from the field. That boy was hotter than fish grease, on a summer's day. I leave the predictions to Lonzo, but c'mon Damascus vs Cairo??

This team is sinking and fast. No one has put together consecutive stellar performances. They are inconsistent from 3 to say the least and can't seem to stop teams in the transition. Joey and Malik need to shoot more efficiently from 3 and Moe Dirt has to regain the swagger he had the first few games. As a team, they made Alexandria's 4th and 5th options look good. 

The held their own in the beginning but I guess the wheels gotta fall off at some point. S/o to Kenny for continuing to score the ripe age of 47. Gurj was a big body down low with 14 and 11 but they need more out of Ed, and he'll be the first to admit it. 

They were without Sohaib so I will try and be nice. Last week, I anointed them the best of the then "1-3" teams. Good thing I am not a scout. Damascus is finally in the win column because of y'all.
