Matter of fact kimchezo yupo nyuma miaka miwili ukilinganisha na wenzake. Kama huamini suburi atakapo maliza shule usikie excuse yake kwa nini hachezi NBA. Huku hawamrate bado. Duh ! anamdanganya mpaka Raisi ???

ReplyDeleteWewe acha ujinga kwani kumgoogling mtu jina likaja kila kona basi ameshakua shujaa. Simchukii huyu kijana ila nachukia pumba zako. Gooogle my name uone linavyokuja ...basi namimi so up...
ReplyDeleteMbwegelembwegele acha majungu hayo. Una uhakika gani kama bwana mdogo hafiki NBA? He is so young to relinguish hope, the sky is the limit. Sidhani kama Thabeet anaongea uongo na sidhani if it serves any purpose to do so. Kumbuka kuwa wazushi ni watu kama nyie ambao mnajifanya mnajua kumbe hamjui kitu. Hayo uliyo ongea hapo tayari ni uzushi. Inaelekea mnamtia maneno mdomoni. You sound like a loser man. He has acomplished a lot so far. Ni Watanzania wangapi wamefika hapo alipo and how many Tanzanians want to be him, or to be identifed with him or even to be made synonymous with him?
ReplyDeleteYour attitude suggests that you are one of those out-of-shape Tanzanians who can't play basketball anymore. Mzee roho mbaya. You just get a couple of beers, review your schedule tomorrow, back to work on Tuesday.
MIMI SINA WIVU NA JAMAA NAFURAHI SANA KUONA ANAVYOTANGAZA NCHI YETU NIMEBAHATIKA KUONA GAME ZAKE KWENYE TV MARA TATU NA MTANGAZAJI ALIKOSHA SANA KUHUSU TANZANIA IKO WAPI NA MAMBO MAZURI KUHUSU NCHI NA NAPENDA KUANGALIA NCAA.LAKINI KIUKWELI HASHEEM BADO YUKO MBALI KWA NBA NA PIA KWENYE TIMU YAKE HAKUWA MKALI NA TIMU YAKE HAIKUFANYA VIZURI.ILA KIBONGOBONGO NI MKALI.
ReplyDeletewe anon wa 12:54am acha upambe wewe kila mtu ana haki ya kutoa mawazo yake kama wewe unamuona hashim keki ni kwa sababu kakukatia zawadi au??,maana inaonekana unamfahamu zaidi na issue zake zote mshikaji anaongea mawazo yake sasa kama ni uongo si tungoje tuone atapoingia NBA, uone kama jamaa ataandika tena alichoandika, kwenye ukweli uwongo hujitenga na hata tukimuimbia mapambia usiku kucha sio tiketi ya yeye kuingia NBA, ingekuwa miss universe tungesema watu hawatampigia kura. Narudia tena acha upambe, inaonekana wewe sasa hivi hata kazi hufanyi unasubiri hashim wako aingie NBA muukate, angalia kijana utakufa masikini.
ReplyDeleteHasheem Thabeet Returning to UConn
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago we reported that UConn center Hasheem Thabeet would enter his name into the NBA draft. This information turned out to be false as the UConn Husky center has announced he will pass on the draft and return for his sophomore season.
Thabeet was considered a lock first round pick. Apparently Thabeet came to the realization that he is too raw and his skills would greatly benefit in the long run by returning for a second year of college ball.
Thabeet is from Tanzania, and he would like to move his mother to the United States as soon as possible, but feared he could slip into the second round and thus be unable to get the proper visas and afford the cost of bringing his family to the United States.
The decision should turn out the best for him in the long run as his development at UConn will surely be better next season than sitting on an NBA bench.

Striking While the Iron is Cold? Hasheem Thabeet
by: Jonathan Givony - President
February 9, 2007
With the NCAA season about two thirds of the ways through, many college prospects are already seriously contemplating entering this year's draft. With every marginal prospect being recruited by at least a half dozen agents or more, the frenzy to gather information and outwork the competition is in full force. By this point, most top prospects already have their NBA agent selected, or at least have narrowed down the group down to a select few. As unbiased spectators who watch as much film, if not more, than any NBA scouting department around, some of this process crosses our paths as well, which gives us an interesting perspective into the decision making process and gives us some nice insight into which players might or might not be declaring for the draft.
Inevitably, there will be some who make smarter decisions than others. Every year there are underclassmen that get caught up in their own hype (or hype coming from unaccountable and/or misinformed sources), and foolishly burn their draft card a year too early. These are too often freshman or sophomores who are just beginning to figure things out as far as their long-term potential is concerned, and rather than continuing to add polish to enter the league ready to compete for minutes, they decide to try and cash in way too early. At best, these players get drafted somewhere in the first round and then have their career defined by the opportunities they may or may not receive and the work ethic needed to “get better on the job.”
At worst, players who decide to “strike while the iron is cold” end up forcing themselves into a serious bind after returning the following year with no draft card in hand, ala Richard Roby this year. What then happens is that once they are truly emerging as legitimate NBA prospects, they are then faced with a life-altering decision and no possibility of turning back if they make the wrong move. The real problem is, there is such a huge gap between the end of the college season and the actual draft that no one in their right mind can accurately predict whether any player--beyond a handful of select prospects--will definitely be selected in the first round. There are just too many variables involved that cannot be controlled by one player on his own.
This year more than ever, considering the sheer depth of this year's draft class; it's crucial for prospects to gather the right type of information from as many well-informed sources as possible. Players who would have been solid first round picks last year can easily slide into the second round this year considering the type of talent we're seeing in the freshman, junior and senior classes. And players who normally would have been second round picks in a "normal" year can easily go undrafted due to concerns over roster spots that can have NBA teams reaching for international players that they can stash overseas. In the interest of social responsibility, DraftExpress will attempt to temper some of the enthusiasm in regards to some of the younger prospects we're evaluating, and is encouraging everyone not to make hasty decisions regarding entering the draft and giving up NCAA eligibility by hiring agents. The NBA draft is a volatile beast, and it needs to be approached with caution.
With that said, we are kicking off a series discussing players that we're hearing strong rumors about potentially declaring for the draft or leaving college altogether, and who may want to think twice before they make a career-defining move. Making long-term predictions on the fate of 18-21 year old athletes who are still coming into their own usually isn’t a smart thing, which is why none of these observations should be considered final conclusions, but it’s important for the other side of the picture to come out as well… the anti-hype if you will.
Hasheem Thabeet, 7-3, Freshman, Center, UConn
One of the more disturbing cases considering the magnitude of his decision as far as his long-term development goes, we’re receiving strong indications from numerous sources that UConn's freshman Hasheem Thabeet is seriously considering entering the draft. This has all the makings of a potential disaster, eerily reminiscent to another highly regarded Big East prospect a few years ago--Chris Taft.
AP
Compared to Tyrus Thomas, and billed as "an athletic Mutombo" by a preseason article written by Andy Katz, Thabeet has been blocking shots at a nice rate, but everything else about him so far has been a massive disappointment. He's cracked double-digits in the scoring column just five times this season thus far--against Fairfield, Albany, Pepperdine, Coppin State and St. John's--and has used his massive 7-3 frame to pull down 10 rebounds just four times, again against the weakest competition UConn has faced. Defensively, beyond his shot-blocking, Thabeet has been lit up by every (even marginal) NBA prospect he's gone up against, whether it’s giving up 13 points and 10 rebounds to an equally raw freshman in Omar Samham (St. Mary's); 19 points, 11 rebounds to Herbert Hill (Providence); 19 points, 11 rebounds to David Padgett (Louisville); 21 points to DJ White (Indiana); or 22 points, 19 rebounds to Aaron Gray (Pitt).
Offensively, we've seen little to no progress since the beginning of the season. Thabeet still shoots the ball from the back of his hand, still doesn't understand how to properly bend his knees and go up for a simple dunk, is not able to palm the ball despite having very big hands, and is almost incapable of catching a post-entry pass due to his poor hands and non-existent reaction time. At this point, considering the way he looks, it's safe to say that he’s light years away from being able to contribute anything on this end of the floor.
Most people would tell you that's fine, because Thabeet is 7-3, has a very good frame, and moves better than 98% of the 7-footers we've evaluated...meaning he has a very good upside. “Saer Sene was drafted 10th!” they say, not realizing the difference between last year’s draft class and this one, while also failing to take into consideration the stark differences between the two players as far as their work ethic and attitudes are concerned.
The fact that he has a huge upside is probably true, but at the same time, we have to consider just what the likelihood is of Thabeet ever actually reaching his ceiling and achieving that upside, which is just as important a part of the equation, particularly if he’s to rot on an NBA bench for the next four years. That probability of reaching said upside takes a significant nose dive when you actually watch him play, look at the way he carries himself on the floor, and talk to people who have spent time watching him practice.
Thabeet seems to have little to no interest in using his size and strength to help his team as a rebounder, not playing with much energy, refusing to get dirty and go after loose balls, and displaying a very low basketball IQ in everything to do with his anticipation skills. In practice, people who have watched him have come away with the impression that Thabeet is not a hard worker at all. He makes faces when asked to do extra work, and generally acts like he's being punished by being required to do crucial drills for his development that other players don't participate in. This lack of a high-energy motor and work ethic is usually the kiss of death for a player who is as raw as he is. He will need years of individual work before anything can be expected from him at the NBA level. Once teams find out what we're learning, if they haven't already, it can be more than enough to drop a player like him into the second round. Contrary to popular opinion, the NBA is not nearly as interested in developing raw talent from scratch as many would lead you to believe, as the coaching staff just doesn’t have time to teach the fundamentals of the game during a grueling 82 game season.
Usually we would not go out of our way to blast a freshman who clearly came into college with the billing of a project, having only played basketball for a few years. The thing is: we feel that considering the unaccountable hype around him--currently projected as the #6 pick in the 2007 draft by nbadraft.net and the 16th best prospect by ESPN's Chad Ford—there needs to be another side out there to put things in proper perspective. Players, families, AAU coaches and agents process all this information and often act on it without being able to find anyone that’s able to give them a second opinion (NBA people are generally not interested in taking part in this process), but when disaster strikes, the player will have to pick the pieces up by himself while outlets like ours move onto the next batch of prospects. Chris Taft was rated similarly by the same exact people at this point in the season two years ago (ourselves included). He ended up going in the mid-second round and is currently out of the NBA.
What’s sad is that Thabeet is actually contemplating making a selfless decision that has just as much to do with his family situation as it does with himself. His mother and siblings are still in Tanzania, and his father passed away just a few years ago. It’s a difficult decision indeed for a teenager to make, especially with the lure of so much money looking so close. The question is: how much in long-term earnings will he be losing by leaving so early? No one can say that for sure, and plenty depends on Thabeet’s internal motivation.
We don't doubt the fact that Thabeet could very well end up figuring things out and reach his massive potential in a couple of years, but his chances of doing so while sitting on an NBA bench significantly lessen in our opinion, as compared with opting to stay in college and learning from his very well respected coach, Jim Calhoun. UConn has developed players like Emeka Okafor and Hilton Armstrong into lottery picks despite starting off with much less to work with in terms of pure physical attributes, but it took them three and four years in college respectively. For the final word on this topic, we'll defer to Louisville Head Coach and former NBA head coach and General Manger Rick Pitino, who has sent quite a few players to the league in his own right:
"A guy like Thabeet, who we recruited, three years from now will be one of the best players in college basketball…Or, if people put the notion in his head because he's 7-foot-3, he'll sit [on] the bench [in the NBA], he'll never make a second contract, and never make any money in his life. So, hopefully, the right people get hold of him and be intelligent."
"In practice, people who have watched him have come away with the impression that Thabeet is not a hard worker at all. He makes faces when asked to do extra work, and generally acts like he's being punished by being required to do crucial drills for his development that other players don't participate in".
ReplyDeleteHIYO NDIYO MENTALITY YA WATANZANIA WENGI. SIYO KOSA LAKE LAKINI MAANA TUMELELEWA HIVYO HATUPENDI KUJITUMA. KAZI YETU NI KUJISIFU, KUPONDONA NA KUPAKANA MATOPE TU....
hii ripoti ya kiutendaji aliyopewa Hashim kwa kweli iwe kifunguamacho kwa Watanzania wengi ambao katika hali ya kawaida wakiambiwa vitu kama hivi wanaona wanaonewa, especially kama anayesema ni Mzungu/Mhindi/Mchina au mtu wa jamii nyingine.
ReplyDeleteNafikiri Hashim aliliona hili mapema ndio maana akashiti kujiunga na NBA mwaka huu.
Kwa uamuzi aliofanya anakuwa mfano wa kuigwa kwa vijana wa kiTanzania.
Jishushe ndugu yangu Hashim ili unolewe kisawa sawa ufikie level za kina Mutombo na baadae Michael Jordan.
Vijana wengi wa kiTanzania tunaelewa situation yako, kwa hiyo huna haja ya kutafuta umaarufu usio na mantiki, kama akina Amina Chifupa.
Nakutakia kila la heri.
hao wanaokandia wako bongo hata msibishane nao mnapoteza muda tu, news kuzipata mpaka waje kwa michuzi. Eti "ngojea amalize shule" pumbavu kabisa nani kawaambia dogo atamaliza shule? next year dogo lazima aingie NBA within the top 5th pick akaze buti hii ncaa ijayo. Angalieni stats zake ndo mje kubishana
ReplyDeleteHuyo dogo asingechukuliwa UConn kama angekuwa 6'9". Game yake siyo kali kama ya dogo mwengine anaitwa Oden.
ReplyDeleteMaadamu Mungu kamjalia urefu na UConn wamemuona, basi anapaswa kuitumia bahati hiyo vizuri.
Namshauri dogo atumie kipindi hiki cha summer kujifua vilivyo. Summer time ndiyo muda wa kuimprove. Siyo wakati mashindano yameanza.
kipindi cha summer Kobe Bryant kila siku hushoot 1000 baskets. Bila kufikisha idadi hiyo basi hatotoka Gym. Dogo Hasheem afuate mfano wake.
Ray Lewis naye ameshapata kusema kwamba ktk NFL kila mtu ana kipaji. Kujituma na nidhamu ndiyo siri ya mchezaji kufanikiwa kuliko wenzake.
Duh ! hivi kuwa ulaya au marekani ndo unajua zaidi au? kama ungepata muda wa kusoma hiyo article yote hapo juu usingeendele kubishana. Ni dhahiri kijana ana nafasi lakini anahitaji maandalizi. Au huyo aliyendika hiyo article nae ana wivu tena yupo Bongo.
ReplyDeleteKWANI KUWA BONGO KUNAHUSIANA NINI NA UKWELI KUWA DOGO BADO ANAHITAJI MUDA? WAANDISHI WOTE HAWA WAWILI HAPA CHINI WANAELEZEA UBORA NA MAPUNGUFU YA THABEET. SUGESTION YAO, … He’s a few years away from being ready to contribute on the NBA level.
ReplyDeleteYeye akiamua kuvimba kichwa kwa sababu ya wapiga debe wa kibongo ni juu yake.

NBA Comparison: Dikembe Mutombo (stronger body)
Strengths: For his immense size, Thabeet is an above average runner of the court … Does a great job of getting initial post position by using his body wide and sealing off his defender … Has soft hands. Rarely does he bobble passes and catches with few problems no matter the distance or speed of the pass … Shot blocking skills are top shelf … His explosiveness: getting off the floor quickly is mind blowing for a player his size ... Physically he has all the tools needed to continue with his long arms and first-rate timing … Unlike many young players he has learned to be a very patient shot blocker that rarely bites on pump fakes … Has yet to even scratch the surface of his vast potential … Although still learning the game, he doesn’t have a lot of bad habits … Very coachable in that whatever flaws he has in his game can be easily corrected … Shows solid outlet passing ability which is rare for a player with his level of experience … Although his post moves are unrefined, Thabeet has shown reasonably good touch … Above average defensive rebounder … Shows decent upper body strength, which should greatly improve and great athleticism for his size…
Weaknesses: Offensively Thabeet remains raw and undeveloped … Struggles to maintain his position in the post where he tends to get rooted out by smaller players … Although as mentioned above he is an above average runner on the court he still could improve his foot speed … Like many players his age, Thabeet’s post footwork is a work in progress although to his credit it has improved since his breakout Global Games performance … Should continue to learn how to block out more aggressively when working for the offensive rebound … Movements are a bit mechanical but this doesn’t seem to affect his coordination right now … Free throw shooting is below average, however he does show good form and confidence with repetition he should become solid before the season is over … Back to the basket skills are in need of improvement … Not much of a face-up player … Offensive court awareness is evolving but still is a few steps behind. This is evident when he is finishing around the basket as he loses where he is in relation to the basket or rushes his shot …
Matthew Maurer - 11/17/2006
Strengths: A mountain of a player, he’s a legit 7-3 with a big body and good mobility … He’s still raw offensively but has the frame and body strength to easily put on another 20-30 pounds and retain his mobility … It is rare to find a player with his type of size, speed and strength combination … Has good coordination … Decent touch on his shot, especially considering the amount of time he has been playing organized basketball, so it can improve … At worst he will be a force inside as a rebounder and shot blocker …
Weaknesses: Still very new to the game, needs flying time … Offensively he is still very raw, must learn to play in the post … He’s a few years away from being ready to contribute on the NBA level …Right now his leg strength is ahead of his upper body strength … From Tanzania (birth records are suspect in African countries) so there is some question about his true age. Scouts say he “looks young” but realistically he could be anywhere from 18-22 …
Notes: Considered a possible lottery pick based on his size and athleticism … Thabeet opened the eyes of NBA scouts at the Global Games in Dallas, Texas in June of 2006 … He played last year at Cyress Communty Christian in Houston, Texas. Right now he’s a project, but with a huge ceiling … Said one scout, “He’s getting better every day. If he gets eligible, he’s one year and out at UConn and I’m calling it right now, he’s a top 10 pick.”

Wabongo bwana, eti Hasheem keshakuwa celebrity, ukweli ni ukweli tu, huyo hana lolote, kwa TZ anaweza kuwa star, lakini kwa kiwango cha NBB wapi na wapi, ukweli huwa unauma siku zote, bado yuko nyuma kishenzi, acheni kumfananisha na kina Kobe Briayant!!
ReplyDeleteMbwegelembwegele it is ok. It looks like you are trying hard to make a case agaist dogo. You keep google him whenever you get time from any website availble. We know and we understand that he is not there yet and he still in the learning curve. Also, we all know that he still has a lot of work ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, the most important thing from people who wish him the best is to give him the word of courage instead of discourage him the way you did in your first posting. Yes, Hasheem the sky is the limit and you can do it!
ha ha ha ! dogo akifanikiwa hachukui chochote toka mfukoni mwangu. Tatizo ni hawa watanzania ambao ukisema jamaa bado hajaiva wanadhani unamchukia au unaona wivu. Tupo slow ktk kuanalyse facts, tuwashabiki mno . Sijui hiyo jumuia ya East Africa tunaenda kufanya nini, tutaendelea kusainishwa mikataba isiyo eleweka kwa sababu hatuna muda wala utamaduni wa kutafiti.
ReplyDeleteJamani huyu mtoto bado mdogo. Mambo ya kumkandia hivi huku kwenye Michuzi kama yeye haingii huku na kusoma vile si vizuri. Tunajua bado ni mbichi lakini anajaribu na huwezi jua anaweza akawin au la. Lakini katika kuhangaika kwake basi tungekaa kimya na kumpa maneno ya faraja na kumwombea kwa Mungu.
ReplyDeleteWell, Tanzania labda wamemwona kama star already lakini wangapi mkirudi bongo hamna hata lolote la kuonyesha lakini familia yenu wanakuona kama Mungu mdogo vile? We all know that. Watu wa nyumbani wana high expectation sana ya watu wanaoishi nje ya nchi lakini watu wanaoishi nje ya nchi au wanaojua maisha ya huku ya livyo wanaelewa pia. Life is so parralel here compare to bongo kuna big gap btn poor people and reach people
michuzi mi naona utenganishe mijadala ya walio bongo na walio ughaibuni, waliobongo upeo wao mdogo sana hawajui lolote kazi kuja kubishana tu na pumba zao wanazojaziwa ma magazeti ya udaku
