4. raise money so u can play basketball
5. F-uck AMERICA, there is no dream in this country pal, only SORROW. This place is falling apart. Id much rather trade place's with you if you want. Id love to go back to cairo or japour india and live by the taj mahal.. So if you wanna trade places let me know.
6. If you receive a college baskeball scholarship in the US....your schooling would be free......all i can tell you is to have you coach or even yourself send some tapes of yourself to colleges of your choice in the US.....Its a coaches job to get you into a college by making calls.....tell him to try to help you out by doing so......If all else fails, play ball where your dad suggested....if you are good, you will be noticed...
7. Man, you will NOT believe how much drooling college scouts get from foreign prospects. If you're really good, and have potential on the college level in America, tape yourself and send videos to college recruiters. Some might even come over and watch your games themselves, and offer you scholarships to play for them. You'll be worth the recruiting.
