NBA’s Only Iranian Player Charged with Domestic Assault



After only a month, the NBA’s first mug shot of the season is out and it belongs to 7’2 Hamed Haddadi of Iran.

Yesterday morning the Memphis Grizzlies’ reserve center and his girlfriend (take a deep breath) Goolnaz Karbalaeinematmoeeney were booked on mutual domestic assault charges after separate stories left police baffled.

According to affidavits, authorities arrived at the 25-year-old Haddadi’s downtown apartment early Thursday morning to find an extremely intoxicated Goolnaz bleeding from the head and hand along with suffering from a black eye and bruising around the neck.

Haddadi claims the wounds were merely a result of a dispute in bed that led to Goolnaz falling over the edge. When Karbalaeinematmoeeney then retaliated by hurling a soap dispenser at him, Haddadi managed to deflect it back at her head, causing the wounds.

Ms. Karbalaeinematmoeeney had a different story. According to the Iranian beauty, Haddadi was provoked to choke and shove her after watching her talk to another man.

Given thick accents, conflicting testimony and Haddadi’s enormous size, police arrested and charged both of them immediately.

It’s unlikely the Grizzlies will miss Hamed Haddadi. Having only played in four games this year, he’s averaging a 0.3 points and 2 rebounds a game this season.

He’s not getting much love from commentators either.

They both got suspended for that by the way.
