Muslim Basketball

WOW WOW WOW, That's how you describe this team’s performance, I mean that's how you describe Kirby’s Performance. Nintendo has got to nerf this guy. In all seriousness this guy is a hooper, Top 3 in the league without even a question, averaging 28 while shooting 70%! As if that wasn’t enough, the dude’s averaging 4 steals, 7 assists and 10 boards. With this type of performance, people often overlook the rest of the team, while he’s hooping out, you have Ahmad averaging 11 off 55% shooting, Hamzah Z averaging 9 off 40%, and Omar Merachli averaging 7 points while also shooting above 40%

Big bro Ahmad, how nice of you to take a seat and let little bro do his thing. Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the Hassan and Mahdy show. Mahdy and Hassan combined for 42 out of the 58 points they scored… These two are picking up where they left off last season, top it all off both look like they’ve been in the lab with a shooting coach, Mahdy had 5 threes, 3 from volleyball lines, and Hassan had 3 threes. Match them 2 up with a defensive team full of menaces and you get the second seed. Although off night from the other 3 starters, they made it up defensively, Omar S with a baning 6 boards, 6 assi

Farhad, Michael, The Gaurd puller, and Mohamad Farran. Let's start with the easy pick for the player of the week, Farhad B. Dudes closing in on 50 years old but Mother Nature blessed him with some youth potion. I mean 26 Boards?!! 24 Points?!! Mashallah far from old this guy, match him up with Michael, who I claimed might be the Mvp this season unless Kirby sucks it up (Kirby from Nintendo joke for the uncultured ones who don’t get it.) Michael had another insane game, 22 off 80% shooting. I heard this guy is a shooting coach, dude give me some tips. Then you have the Man in the GI, waiting for someone to mes

This team has talent, New player Elijah Bland is showing us how he can hoop, averaging 25 while shooting over 50% is no easy task. Mo Masri is turning back the clock, averaging 14 while shooting efficiently from the 3. Then you have Anas Najib, this dude is absolutely killing. 2 assists shy off a triple-double, and this guy is averaging 16 and 6 assists. This guy can score, shoot, and dish the ball. One of the best pure guards in the league. Then they got Abdelhadi, and whats scary about this team is the four I just listed are all capable of easily dropping 20+ on any given night. So if y'all manage to guard Elijah

Sorry Jenin and Beit Jala, this team takes the 5th spot. In an unfortunate loss in double OT, this team still takes the 5th seed. Now when I think of talented teams in this league, this is one of the first teams I talk about. Why? They have 5 who are all nice, and 2 more on the bench that can hoop. Very few teams in this league are deep enough where if player 1,2,3,4,5 are all off, they have players 6 and 7. Nabil’s first time playing in this league is showing why he's nice. 11 and 8, impressive, although nothing crazy he’s on a team with the Patel brothers, charkas and Mo Rayyan, which means the ball i

I'm no hater, I promise, I just think y'all get lucky. Jk, I just despise these double OT rules. Nonetheless,  Shazaib and Aadil are both buckets, I love this team. This team might deserve to be put in 5th. Now shoutout to Aadil, Idk what masala you have been eating recently, but give Affan some. Aadil had an insane 26 points and 8 rebounds against Lod. Shaz had 20 as well and sealed the win with the 3-ball. This team’s only problem in my opinion is their size, if they play any bigger teams such as Gaza or Haifa, they will struggle. Oh wait week 5, we shall tune in AND watch. Regardless, I love this tea

This team is the last of the undefeated teams left in this league, we are in week 2 though so this might change by next week. This team has size, their shortest guy is their PG who is also pretty strong. This team has the big 3, Zain, Sohaib, and Adam. Adam is having a good season, back to back 19 Pts shooting over 50% in both games is impressive, I could never. I see that they have a pretty hard schedule, so I hope for the best. I think if you struggle against Jerusalem as they did in the first half, then good luck against Nintendo against Shaz, the choke artists, and Lod.

The choke artists once again almost choke against a team whose 5th option can’t do much…. In all seriousness, this game was won because of Khaled and Moayad. I noticed that the other team went to zone defense, which Ramla struggled a bit against until Moayad hit some clutch threes. He made 3, all three came at a crucial time when they needed buckets. Khaled was the main story as if 16 points shooting 50% wasn’t enough, he took Mana’s job and snagged 13 rebounds. He couldn’t hit a three but regardless amazing performance. Elias did a little, I saw him hit 2 clutch free throws and he had

Like I said last week, I don’t see this team staying low. Mahrooz had a good game, 15 Pts and 8 boards, and Ehsan had a good game with 18. The only way I see this team winning the rest of their games is if Omar Singer wakes up, he shot poorly from the field goal but did have 11. They have only one easy game and the rest are all going to be difficult. Good luck to yall

Tough loss to Kirby, we, unfortunately, had Musa on an off-night. Musa who arguably is one of the most skilled players in this league only had 9 Points. Although only 9, they only lost by 7 points, However Unfortunately they missed 8 Free throws. This could have literally changed the outcome of the game. Not much from Khalied this game, but I hope he bounces back. Looks like habbe had to load up the logs. Musa might take some off his load next week, Predict a bounce-back game from him.

Sorry North Bergen, lost by 20 to Gaza. Nader had a good game, scoring 17. Unfortunate shooting performance from Omar, seemed like he had an off night. Still managed to get 15 but shot 28% from the field goal. Ali M is starting to wake up, but games like these are won mainly by the role players, teams are going to guard Omar and Nader, so the rest of yall gotta step up and start helping. Ali, 18 next game aii. 

Haram for a team this skilled to be this low, I mean what are you thinking Towfeek? Picked up 5 fouls in five minutes then left Shafic all alone as the only guard? This team needs to space the ball out a lot more, they should start 5 out’ing and let the ball be run by Tawfeek and Shafic. Shafic and Nick A little pick and roll would be butter. Wake up guys, this team can’t be this low.

Omar Abbassi, haram his back is hurting. Why is he the only player averaging 10+ Pretty off night for our boy Ali S, however if either Omar or Ali are off, the game is lost. This duo is filthy, I can see this working perfectly. Yall gotta figure out how to fix this cause 13th for Mr. Commish doesn’t feel right. The old commish would never be this low. (P.S you can maybe pay the refs a little extra for some help, you did not hear this from me though) (; 

They had a very tough loss, the main reason they lost is because they are undersized. Their big man is out with a wrist injury prayers up for you my guy. I like this team a lot, they are passionate players. They want to win, and they play with their hearts. They lost by 14 to one of the best teams in the league, with all their players playing in an organized ball league for the first time. I genuinely see this team improving, especially if their big man comes back. Hicham had a good game with 15, Atef seemed to have an off night and our boy Rafay is a shooter, I can tell by his form. Shoutout Mounsif, the better mah

Ali and Andrew are buckets, like I said last week, This team can’t just rely on the two. Muj was out again this week, But this team still has Humzah Shah and Sal R who we are glad his nose isn’t broken. I can see this team going up, they just gotta work on their role players scoring, shoutout Andrew though, you are tough.

They should change their team name to Turmusyaya, Adeeb is a bucket. They were missing Juan and I can guarantee the outcome of the game could have been different if he was there. Nonetheless, this team has a solid 4, Deeb, Splash, Adeeb, and Juan. This team is not bad, just would like to see their full five before I judge. Congrats on being last place Turmusaya I mean Nablus.
