Arsalan Kazemi: Never heard of him? He’s from Iran, and playing for Rice. He’s the first college basketball player from Iran. “Kazemi’s life as a groundbreaker has not been easy. Yearning for contact with home, he spends three to four hours per day on the phone and chatting by computer to Iran … When he began fasting for Ramadan in late September, the grind of basketball workouts made him so sick that team doctors persuaded him to eat.” Terrific read.
