Abstract
- The article discusses the participation of the National Basketball Association of Afghanistan (NBAA) in the 2006 Asian Games basketball qualifiers in Qatar. It is reported that NBAA was founded in the 1960s by Tom Gouttierre, a volunteer with the U.S. Peace Corps. The organization reportedly disbanded in the 1990s in light of the volatile political climate until Kabul native Naser Shahalemi returned from the U.S. to revive the team in 2006. NBAA player Yousof Etemadi is profiled.
