Pang-masa

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Si Sim Bhullar ang na­ging kauna-unahang player na may lahing Indian na pu­mirma ng kontrata sa isang NBA team.

Lumagda ang 7-foot-5 na si Bhullar para makasama sa training camp ng Sacramento Kings, ngunit hin­di ibinunyag ang detalye ng kon­trata.

“I’ve long believed that India is the next great frontier for the NBA, and adding a talented player like Sim only underscores the exponential growth basketball has experienced in that nation,” sabi ni Kings owner Vi­­vek Ranadive, ang unang Indian-born majority ow­ner sa NBA.

Ang 360-pound na si Bhullar ay isinilang sa Toronto at naglaro ng dalawang seasons para sa New Me­­xico State kung saan siya nagtala ng mga averages na 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds at 2.9 blocks.

Dalawang beses siyang hinirang na Western Athle­tic Conference tournament MVP.
