The things they said about Haddadi & Iran during the game:
Smith: "Look who's in."Â
Lawler: "Hamed Haddadi. Where's he from?"Â
Smith: "He's the first Iranian to play in the NBA."Â (Smith pronounced Iranian as "Eye-ranian,"Â a pronunciation that offended a viewer who complained.)
Lawler: "There aren't any Iranian players in the NBA,"Â repeating Smith's mispronunciation.
Smith: "He's the only one."Â
Lawler: "He's from Iran?"Â
Smith: "I guess so."Â
Lawler: "That Iran?"Â
Smith: "Yes."Â
Lawler: "The real Iran?"Â
Smith: "Yes."Â
Lawler: "Wow. Haddadi that's H-A-D-D-A-D-I."Â
Smith: "You're sure it's not Borat's older brother?"Â
Smith: "If they ever make a movie about Haddadi, I'm going to get Sacha Baron Cohen to play the part."Â
Lawler: "Here's Haddadi. Nice little back-door pass. I guess those Iranians can pass the ball."Â
Smith: "Especially the post players.
Lawler: "I don't know about their guards."Â
