I had dinner with several members of the National Team from Iran the other night and it is clear that we are really not so different.
When you ask them what is on their minds it is like any conversation you would have with a friend; providing for family, housing inflation in their neighborhoods, and who their favorite basketball players were growing up.
This trip has been about basketball and building relationships. I think everyone who has been involved with helping to bring them here has been impressed and left with a hope that things will get better between our nations.
I have offered to take the Utah Flash to Iran for some games next season and I hope the NBA and Iranian Basketball Federation will allow that to happen.

I was at the game last night and I loved every minute. Thanks for helping to bring them here. The crowd was routing for Iran even in Utah.
Now THAT's an event that will definitely have to be captured on film. :)
